The French: A Taste of Paris on Fifth Ave South
For your next birthday dinner or special occasion, make reservations at The French, an upscale brasserie on Fifth Avenue South that transports you to Paris with their large, mirrored dining room and red leather booths.
Chef Vincenzo, of Bar Tulia and Osteria Tulia, has curated a thoughtful menu of traditional French favorites executed with simplicity. Pair that with exceptional service and Parisian ambiance, and you have the perfect restaurant for your next celebration.
Start with escargot bathed in parsley butter or beef tartare before diving into the main event: a selection of "Boeuf" cuts, served with your choice of rich Béarnaise, bordelaise, or peppercorn sauce. They also have salmon, lamb and bouillabaisse entrées making it easy to please a crowd. The French also offers a semi-private dining space for special gatherings.
Ranked #2 among the best French restaurants in Naples by The Naples Florida Review, The French stands out for its warm atmosphere, consistently good food, and a team of attentive servers and friendly bartenders. Don’t miss their fantastic happy hour, featuring $8 wines, $9 cocktails, and an elevated selection of “bar snacks”—if you can include escargot and Camembert in that category.

"The French is one of my favorite restaurants on Fifth Avenue. I’ve celebrated so many memorable occasions here thanks to the wonderful atmosphere, both inside and out. The vibe is approachable, and the menu is solid from start to finish. Don’t miss the escargot—it’s served inside a buttery puff pastry that’s simply heavenly."- The Naples Florida Review.
