Café Normandie: A Cozy French Bistro Hidden in Naples
Tucked away in a strip mall, Café Normandie is a must-visit French restaurant in Naples, run by the charming husband-and-wife duo, Chef Anthony Ethuin and Sandie. Hailing from the south of France, they have taken over one of Naples’ oldest French restaurants that was named one of the top 5 best French restaurants in Naples by The Naples Florida Review.
Despite its name, Café Normandie is more than just a cafe. Stop in for a morning coffee and indulge in a quiche Lorraine or a savory crêpe filled with ham and creamy béchamel sauce. For lunch, enjoy a selection of fresh baguette sandwiches and crisp salads. But their dinner menu is extensive with authentic French cuisine. Local favorites include the artichoke salad, beef bourguignon, and crêpe Suzette—all earning rave reviews from regulars. On weekends, you’ll find exclusive specials rarely offered elsewhere.
Looking for a romantic French dining experience? Café Normandie partners with Gulf Breeze Charters to offer dinner on a sunset cruise. To secure your spot, be sure to book at least a day in advance.
