Their Story:
The story of owners Jean and Myriam Dandonneau is quite romantic as they met in Paris 15 years ago. They got married and have a son, named Valentin. They visited Sarasota, Florida and fell in love with this charming town and pursued their dream to open French Restaurant. Jean and Myriam Dandonneau came from Paris, France 7 years ago to open Mademoiselle Paris. They were both engineers in computer science in France and their dream was to live in Florida.
The food is their passion. Jean’s Grandfather was a French Chef working at the Chateau of Chamarande.
Jean and Myriam used to go in Michelin restaurant in France, and their wedding was made by Thierry Marx, 2-star Michelin French Chef & Jean-Luc Rochas, Meilleur ouvrier de France & 2-star Michelin chef at Chateau Cordeillan -Bages, Pauillac.
They realized is that the best way to stay in Florida was to invest. So, they decided to open a French restaurant and bakery. They are working with the same team from the beginning: Isabelle, Manager of UTC location; Arnaud, Executive Chef; Veronica, Manager of Anna Maria Location and Lorene, Manager of Main Street Sarasota location.
Mademoiselle Paris is a family-business, and they do what is best for their customers and employees, always looking for improvement.

Can’t wait to go back for dinner (not offered on Mon. & Tues) and brunch. Prices were fair for the area. Not sure if will offer a happy hour- hope so:) -” – Lisa Thiel
“We have visited Mademoiselle Paris UTC many times, but mostly for breakfast or lunch. Last night, we had a reservation for dinner. We love the atmosphere and service here. The menu items and pastries are, of course, excellent. Last night, my wife selected escargot as her appetizer followed by lamb chops. I had Steak Frites Beef Tenderloin and garden salad. The beef was served with a delicious peppercorn sauce, with just the right “bite” to it.
Both our selections were very tasty and generous.
Last night there was a very talented musician playing the piano and accordion. He enhanced the already “French” ambiance that was made even better by the fact the music volume did NOT drown out conversation. Thank you.
All in all, an excellent evening at an excellent restaurant.” – Keith
