    Outstanding food and service in a humble cafe with many pics of Paris . Worth a visit for you French pastry fix

    A slice of Paris in Clearwater! Such a cute spot in a small strip center. It's quaint like a diner, with pastries to die for. I had an egg, bacon, and cheese croissant that came with fruit and a side salad. It was a fried egg and the cheese was Swiss so a bit of a twist on a traditional breakfast sandwich, which I enjoyed. I had to add a chocolate croissant for breakfast dessert. So good! And the coffee was excellent.

    Excellent food made to order. They really make you feel welcome. Pictures on the walls of Paris get you in the mood to travel.

    "A Bistro in a Strip Mall? Welcome to Clearwater's Passport to Paris" You ever stumble into a place by accident and suddenly feel like you just walked through a wormhole into another country? That's Chez David. Tucked unassumingly in a Florida strip mall (because of course it is) , Chez David is ostensibly a French bakery. But don't let the French Bakery signage fool you -- this isn't just a patisserie. This is a full-blown bistro with a menu that'll make you weep softly into your brie. I ordered a smoked salmon and brie omelette -- yes, brie -- fluffy as a Montmartre cloud and bursting with flavor. I considered licking the plate, but decorum (barely) won out. And for dessert? I had something called Desire Cake, whose key ingredient is a thing of legend known as hazelnut ganache mousse. I'm not entirely sure what it is, but eating it felt like a cake went to Normandy, fell in love with a jar of Nutella, took a sabbatical in the Alps, and came back fluent in decadence. In other words -- amazing. But here's the real secret ingredient: David himself. The man behind the name is ever-present, circulating like the maître d' of your dreams -- introducing himself to tables, checking in with staff, orchestrating the experience like he's hosting you in his own living room. It's the kind of genuine care you just don't see anymore, especially not at places with prices this reasonable and portion sizes this generous. This isn't fast-casual, this is French-casual, where you're treated like family, not just a guest. And for one magical meal, you'll forget you're in Florida entirely. Final word: Go. Eat the omelette. Say bonjour to David. And whatever you do, don't skip the Desire Cake -- it's the kind of pastry that rewrites your dessert standards forever.

    Update: Jan 2025 Under new ownership and new name. Everything is as good. All made in house and still one of my favorite when I am in the area.

    French Cream Donut. So good!

    We joined the walk up list for clear sky via their website around 11am on a Saturday, and our table…read morewas ready within 10 minutes. We were seated as soon as we arrived, and throughout our visit the service was really good. My friend and I were having a very hard time deciding, and when we asked the server, she flat out told us that the two things we were torn between were awesome and we should order both and split them. We got the shrimp and grits and the lobster Benedict. On their own, the grits weren't anything special, although they were texturally great. Now when you add the shrimp and gravy . . . This dish is a whole other deal. The shrimp was perfectly cooked, and the gravy was super well balances. It had the perfect level of spice. The lobster Benedict had a perfectly poached egg, and it worked so well. The mornay sauce was a lovely touch. I'd definitely order it again, but I would also definitely order the shrimp again. Long story short, our server was right, they were both amazing. I also got a standard Bloody Mary, which was solid. I would definitely go back to this place. It's got an upbeat, family friendly atmosphere, and I think it's a great spot for locals and out of towners alike. It's also well priced. I'd also love to try their beignets or French toast next time. They've also got a huge lunch/dinner menu that I'd definitely want to try if I were in town for longer.

Ambience was like your regular breakfast place or diner, but definitely family friendly. We were there with our 8 month old baby boy and felt comfortable. Food tasted pretty okay, we ordered coconut shrimp, fish n chips and chicken tacos for brunch! The fish was a little undercooked and the batter was still a bit wet inside. Other items were not bad. For drinks, I ordered their popular pomegranate mimosa which came really flat (no bubblies) and in a wine glass! I sent it back and got a mojito instead - which tasted a lot better! Additionally, we were not aware the breakfast menu closes at 12 pm and we were already seated, so kind of felt obligated to order from the lunch menu at around 12.05 pm! It was too early for a sea food lunch for us! We saw the table next to us had ordered breakfast just a few minutes before us but we were denied because it was already past noon. Overall a pretty average experience. I was expecting a little more authentic experience but turned out to be just like your local diner.

The location alone makes it a convenient and easy choice if you're staying nearby or heading out for a morning walk along the beach. Breakfast was exactly what you hope for at a casual beachside café. We had coffee, an egg sandwich with bacon, and a Western omelet with cheese. Everything was cooked fresh and made to order, and it definitely hit the spot to start the day. Simple, satisfying breakfast food done well. The service was great--friendly, attentive, and welcoming without feeling rushed. It's the kind of place where the staff makes you feel comfortable right away. Another thing that stood out was the pricing. For a beach location, the prices are very fair, which makes it an even better value considering the quality of the food and the location. If you're looking for a relaxed, no-frills breakfast with good food, great service, and an awesome location near the beach, Beach Shanty Cafe is well worth stopping by.

The brussel sprouts appetizer is HUGE. It was double the size I have received at other places, so took some back to the hotel for leftovers. They also came with a tasty dipping sauce that was unique as well. The Caesar salad was neutral; no strong flavor yet not distasteful. No anchovies taste either. I could take it or leave it. The filet steak was tender served over some mashed potatoes and thick asparagus wrapped in salty, yummy bacon. The smoky old fashioned and expresso martini (with Baileys added extra!) drinks were tasty. Make a reservation online and Uber/Lyft if you are close as it's easy in and out!

We ended up splitting the seafood pasta dish, and it was more than either of us could eat, even after splitting it. Service was good for dinner.

Breakfast pizza was surprisingly great and enough for two people to split. Service at breakfast was fantastic. The coffee was always flowing and the servers were always smiling. The atmosphere and ambience are OK. I don't love the vibe, as it felt like a dated dining room experience. But Food was still great. If you are staying at the Opal Sands, the entire complex has amazing food and you don't even have to leave. Huge benefit to staying there.
