Executive Chef
Bistro at Sarasota Art Museum of Ringling College
A farm-to table experience
The Bistro fare is inspired by Florida’s regional fruit stands and farmer’s markets and emphasizes local produce, healthy proteins, and artisanal specialty items brought to you by Executive Chef Kaytlin Dangaran and the Constellation Culinary team.
Bistro is located in Paul Rudolph’s 1959 Vocational Shops building, beautifully reimagined by K/R Architects.
The Bistro design is inspired by Rudolph, the history of the Sarasota High School, and the 1920s provenance of the Elliott building and serves as platform to extend the curatorial vision of the Museum into your dining experience.
