FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
June 16, 2014   Sarasota, Fla.

Award-winning restaurant The Bijou Cafe (1287 First St., 366-8111) will extend their prix fixe “Savor Sarasota” menu through the end of the summer. The special includes two courses for $15 at lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., Monday through Friday as well as three courses for $29 at dinner, beginning at 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

“Savor Sarasota is so popular that we’ve decided to run it all Summer!” said JP Knaggs, owner of the Bijou Cafe. “As a special thank you to our year-round guests, and an invitation to summer visitors, we’re continuing a prix fixe menu for lunch and dinner.”

The menu will change every two weeks, and will include both Bijou favorites and one-time special creations from the chef. These will be posted on the Bijou’s website as soon as the chef makes them available. Reservations are always recommended but not required, and though substitutions are not available on the special menu, the Bijou’s kitchen will accommodate dietary restrictions as needed.

The Savor Sarasota menu extension marks another recent change at the Bijou including the addition of a new “bar bites” menu and the introduction of their first ever happy hour in the Gossips Lounge, including signature Bijou martinis for $5, from 5 to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday.

More about the Bijou Cafe: 

An upscale Continental-American restaurant located in the heart of Sarasota’s downtown Theatre & Arts District, the Bijou Cafe is known for specialties such as Australian Rack of Lamb, Pepper Steak and Pommes Gratin Dauphinois.

Since 1986, Chef Jean-Pierre Knaggs and wife Shay have owned and operated The Bijou, growing it from a small 50-seat restaurant to a seating capacity of 140 people in three separate dining rooms and the garden. The enchanting décor one might expect in a quaint but modern European café surrounds diners, including French windows and doors, sparkling glassware and freshly picked flowers, and the space is easily able to accommodate private parties of any size. With an expansive wine list, sumptuous lunch and dinner specialties, and impeccable yet friendly service, the Bijou remains a jewel in the heart of downtown Sarasota. 

The Bijou Café, 1287 First St.: 11:30 a.m.-2 p.m. and 5- 9 p.m., Mon.-Thurs., 11:30 a.m.- 2 p.m. and 5-10 p.m., Fri., 5-10 p.m., Sat., closed Sundays; 366-8111 or bijoucafe.net
