Siesta Key’s popular Bonjour French Cafe, in the heart of Siesta Village at 5214 Ocean Boulevard, said au revoir and bid a fond farewell to their many loyal customers. The popular breakfast and lunch bistro closed their doors for the last time in June.
“We want to thank all of you, our loyal customers and friends,” read a post on the Bonjour French Cafe Facebook page. “The place always tried to bring a part of France here in Siesta Key with French cuisine, fresh local products and family ambiance and atmosphere. All the employees are so proud to have served such lovely guests…. It is a sad situation for all of us, but you will stay in our minds. God bless all of you.”
French restauranteurs Marie and Thierry Zanon first opened the cozy eatery in 2012. New owners Thierry Raynal and Véronique De Stefani took over in 2018. “It’s been a great adventure,” wrote Thierry Zanon on the cafe’s page in response to customers comments after reading the news. “A heartfelt thank you to all our wonderful guests who were with us from the beginning and who have followed Véronique et Thierry up to this day.”…
