Burns Court Bistro & Wine Bar

Fabulous food, fabulous atmosphere, great wine bar- excellent service, truly a gem in Sarasota. European ambience with beautiful light filled bistro setting! Everything is just amazing!

Great little place. Service was fantastic and the food delicious. I had the caprese sandwich served on a baguette. Everything was very fresh, loved the pesto. Will definitely go back!

This place a new favorite of mine. Excellent wine selection, and great food. The staff is absolutely outstanding. Aster, G, and Dede are amazing, super friendly, and very knowledgeable. Ask Aster to show you his encyclopedia of food and wine!

Tuesday night is Cuban music night, Renesito Avich was fantastic. Small dance floor but everyone was having a great time.

We happened to stumble upon this gem. Great food (gluten free safe), live music was great, open late, great service and nice atmosphere. We will surely return. 🙂

Under new management with a smart and charming brother sister team. Knowledgeable bartender. Super friendly atmosphere. Great jazz 7 days a week. Mostly evenings plus Sunday brunch. Delightful intimate atmosphere- - call ahead for a reservation. They need to work out the bugs on their website. Right now it’s hard to find out about the music.

Intimate area for some music, wine and bites. The food is great, but the jazz music is even better. Make sure you go for the music (they charge a cover), if you aren't into what is playing then head to a more spacious spot. The service is great and the bartender always has a wine suggestion for you to sample. It's the kind of place where you can become a regular.

Great find after we discovered there was a 2 hr wait were we had planned to eat. Good food & service! Sat in dining area & enjoyed jazz saxophone music drifting in from bar. Nice small plate appetizer selection for light eaters.

We have been coming here for well over a year now. First we came for the jazz and music options, then we found the incredible menu and food, and now we also come to see the owner Didi and her amazing staff.

They make it feel like family and friends coming together to share food, wine, and music.

I am gluten free by choice and often struggle with choices, but Didi has many delicious options on the menu, and if you want a dish to be made gluten free, just ask. She usually has a few amazing suggestions.

This is and will remain one of our favorite go-to places.

Thanks Didi and crew,

Jason and Liz

This place was great! The food was fresh and delicious, they had a great variety of drinks and their live music was fantastic! The atmosphere was perfect and the staff was super friendly and helpful. Definitely look forward to going back.

Attended a jazz brunch with the Tommy Goodman trio playing. We could not believe that we had the privilege of hearing such great musicians in a small and intimate surrounding. Service was friendly and efficient, and meals were decent and moderately priced. A very small gratuity of $3.50 per person was added for the entertainers.- a tiny amount considering the talent involved.

Just had a great lunch. Cool ambiance, like a little club in bar area. Jazz tonight and they are booked. Next week will go. Need reservations for all music nights. Dinner menu looks really good.

Been going to this cafe for years and liked it very much, but now that it is under new management this place is incredible! The food has gone from good to fantastic. My wife says the quiche is terrific as the crust is tender, flaky, and thin enough to compliment, not overwhelm, the wonderful filling....something that many restaurants have not mastered. For myself, I cannot resist ordering the chicken pesto wrap. The chicken is of good quality, the pesto is phenomenal, and they go to the trouble to lightly toast the wrap which prevents that annoying soggy experience I have had with other restaurant wraps. I might add you don't get a wrap with loads of tortilla and nothing else like most places give you, instead you get the right proportion of tortilla and loads of chicken and other goodies in the superb pesto sauce..... As far as the homemade desserts go.....let me just say that if you don't order one, you will have missed a great opportunity for experiencing a bit of heaven! Bon appetit!!

Great food, great atmosphere, amazing Jazz music. This place is First Rate material. Great bruschetta, salads, sandwiches, and wine. The staff was courteous and attentive.If you want old world European charm then you have to come to Burns Court Cafe.

Found a Groupon for Burns Court Bistro, so decided to try it for lunch. Great little place. We had one of their salads and the Rubin sandwich...both were very good. Looks like they have wine and live music at night, so going to try then one night as well. Give it a try, and the coupon was just like 50% off

Im from the north and on vacation in Sarasota I stopped at Burns Court Bistro.This place was Awesome! The food was fresh and delicious .I was surprised for the amount of food I received and enjoyed every bite of it .They had a great variety of drinks from coffees to teas to wines.The atmosphere was perfect .The staff was friendly and helpful. I will definitely be looking forward to going back and letting my friends know about this little gem .

I'm in town maybe 5 times a year and this is a must savor spot.
Ambiance makes me miss France, and really their commitment to quality puts the other French-enthusiast local places to shame. Quiche definitely a must. The wine bar very sweet but shhhh... the owner while totally charming, isn't even French.

A bit more expensive than my usual hang outs, but it was worth every penny. Great food, great atmosphere, amazing Jazz music. This place is "First Date" material. If you absolutely must make a favorable impression on some one and you'd like to NOT blow your budget in the process, then get thee to Burns Court Cafe.

Never thought I'd say this but, loved the quiche! Great atmosphere and good service. This is also one of the cleanest kitchens I've seen in my years in the business. Will be bringing my wife back here next week!

Quaint little place. Awesome pastry selection! I had the Guava and cheese filled. Very fresh 😋
I hear they have live music sic around 730pm
