Alain is a superb owner/chef – he makes everyone feel at home. He truly enjoys cooking excellent food and talking about his quality choice of French wines. I’ve visited the French Affair three times now, on every occasion the food has been A+++++++.

The French Affair restaurant offers affordable and comfort french cuisine. Has become one of our regularly visited restaurants being conveniently located in Gulf Gate village, close to Siesta Key. Really love their Escorgot (snails), no complaints and super delicious!

The best trout almondine on the planet. If you’re looking for “fancy”, forget it. But if you’re looking for superb French food in an unassuming but charming atmosphere, look no further. Ask Renee to recommend a wine; she’s never steered us wrong.
