“Cozy, quiet place
with good food… Chateau France in St. Petersburg, Florida, for me, is
the best restaurant in America”
Sacha Houcke, Wednesday, March 30, 2005
What
Frommer's Guide has to say...
"Chef Antoine Louro provides St. Petersburg's most romantic setting in this
charming pink Victorian house built in 1910. He specializes in French
classics such as homemade paté, Dover sole meunière, filet mignon au poivre,
coq au vin, orange duck, and a rich seafood bouillabaisse. Fresh baby
vegetables, Gruyère-cheese potatoes... accompany all main courses. The wine
list is excellent, as are the bananas flambé and crêpes suzette."
St. Petersburg Post...

"Best French
Restaurant and recipient of the Silver Spoon Award"
City Search...
"As soon as you step
into the foyer, you know you're going to be pampered. Gaze deliriously
at the clean stemware so perfectly arranged and the beautiful view from
the lace-curtained bay window to the quiet streets beyond. Start with
scallops au citron--shellfish delicately pooled in a silky lemon sauce.
Move on to the poulet roullade, breast of chicken baked with lobster
meat. Finish off with crepes suzette made fresh at the table with
orange, cognac and Gran Marnier."

"Best French Food"
Creative Loafing...
"Everything about Chateau France just reeks of traditions that are rare
in our tourist-happy town. On the fringe of downtown St. Petersburg,
it's in a converted 1910 two-story house. The interior is all dark woods
and low lights, candles turning each table into a secluded island --
ideal for a tryst. If you bring your spouse, try the long,
glass-enclosed veranda encircling the house, lined with white wicker
armchairs and white linen tablecloths."

"...most authentic French cuisine
available in the Tampa Bay area."
10Best.com ...
"This romantic,
much-loved restaurant occupies a pink Victorian home, complete with bay
windows and a sweeping verandah. It's just the sort of place you crave
for special occasions. The cuisine is classic French, comprised of coq
au vin, bouillabaisse, filet mignon Diane, lamb, rabbit casserole, and
Dover sole meuniere. Service is impeccable, and tableside presentation
of dishes is a welcome throwback to past days. Outdoor dining, a full
bar, cigars, and rich desserts ensure that no detail is left to chance."
