More than 20 years ago, Chef Anthony Ethuin and his wife, Sandie, took their first steps in the world of luxury hotel and fine restaurant service by attending the renowned Paul Augier Hospitality High School in Nice, France.
At the age of 18', Chef Anthony won the "Best Apprentice" South of France Region's Competition, while Sandie was studying the art of hospitality.
Chef Anthony then practiced his art in multiple prestigious places and Michelin-starred such as the Hermitage Hotel, Monte-Carlo Bay & Resort parts of Monte-Carlo Societe des Bains de Mer,
In his adoptive flavorful city of Nice, the historic and legendary Palais de la Mediterrane opened its doors to him to excel (1 Michelin Star).
On several occasions, our Chef was honored to practicing the Art of Cuisine alongside The World-Renowned Chef, Alain Ducasse.
But after many successful years of service, Chef Anthony and Sandie decided it was time to strike out on their own and open their own restaurant. And as if by destiny they soon came to learn of the Cafe Normandie---one of the oldest French restaurants in Naples, Florida.
With the unconditional support and love of his parents, they purchased the restaurant as partners and set off on a new adventure.
Although the Ethuin family comes from the Côte d'Azur region in southern France, they chose to retain the name and identity of Cafe Normandie in honor of its founder, a native of the Normandie region, Mr. Benoit, as other subsequent owners of the Cafe have done throughout the years.
Cafe Normandie is entirely family owned and family operated. For this reason they are all the more committed to attaining and maintaining the highest standard of excellence.
Chef Anthony and his wife have dedicated themselves to applying all of their experience and training in offering their customers classic French Bistro-style cuisine in a pleasant, friendly atmosphere, using only the best local ingredients and freshest produce; and with his varying Weekend Specials (dishes rarely if ever offered elsewhere), Chef Anthony takes great pride and pleasure in introducing the residents of Naples to some of the most beloved and classic dishes of his native country.
We love our customers, so feel free to visit during normal business hours.
