New C'est La Vie! Opens Sept. 12
C'est La Vie!'s second location has an opening date. The new spot, located at 8527 Cooper Creek Blvd., Bradenton, will open to the public at 8:30 a.m. Monday, Sept. 12.
The new restaurant is the result of a franchise deal between the owners of the Main Street café, Geraldine and Christophe Coutelle, and Myriam and Jean Dandonneau, a couple who recently moved from Paris to Sarasota. The menu of the new Cooper Creek restaurant will be "exactly the same as the downtown location," according to a press release.
The Dandonneaus learned about C'est La Vie! while researching French food in Florida online. After a visit and meeting the Coutelles, they decided to sell everything they owned in France and move to Sarasota. "C’est La Vie! had great reviews online, a solid presence in Sarasota and an established 20-year history, which is a strong statement, especially in the restaurant business," Myriam Dandonneau said, according to the release.
The new C’est La Vie! will be open 8:30 a.m.-9 p.m. Sunday-Thursday and 8:30 a.m.-9:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The phone number is (941) 355-2323.
