Gulfport’s getting a French restaurant once again (the last one was La Cote Basque, where Pia’s overflow parking is currently on Beach Boulevard): Sarasota and Bradenton favorite Mademoiselle Paris French Restaurant and Bakery will open a new location at the Peninsula Bed and Cocktails later this year.
The restaurant will require a total rebuild of the old dining room in the Peninsula, including ripping out and replacing the flooring. As with all business projects that require construction, opening dates are a moving target. However, the Mademoiselle Paris Facebook page says the restaurant could open in December.
