The Vinoy Resort and Golf Club, Autograph Collection welcomes Lottie, an upscale French-inspired pâtisserie, to its collection of diverse culinary outlets as part of The Vinoy's ongoing renovation. Located in the reimagined Lobby, Lottie features exquisite house-made pastries, cakes, macarons and gelato, along with sophisticated lunch items and specialty coffee and tea.

Lottie's welcoming design, by renowned interiors firm Rockwell Group, evokes a chic Parisian café, including classic elements like a white wraparound marble countertop, inset brass detailing, lantern-like sconces and lush greenery that hangs from overhead canopy. The charming aesthetic complements the Lobby's refined new look, which artfully blends modern fixtures with historic, restored architectural details dating back to 1925, including the original ceramic tile flooring and pecky cypress beams. Outdoor seating for Lottie is available in the adjacent patio and on The Vinoy's legendary Veranda, where guests can enjoy views of the Tampa Bay on iconic rocking chairs that have been a fixture since the resort first opened.

"Lottie captures the timeless elegance and culture of a French café," remarks Vanessa Williams, the general manager of The Vinoy Resort and Golf Club, Autograph Collection. "The classic cuisine and Art Deco inspired design make our guests feel as though they've been transported to the charming streets of Paris."

Lottie's sweet and savory delicacies showcase French pastry traditions. At the forefront is The Vinoy's signature pistachio cake, which features pistachio custard, poached pear and pistachio mouse. The menu also boasts intricate confections, delicately layered miniature cakes popular in France, with varying textures that meld together beautifully, including a decadent chocolate bomb cake and a yuzu and passionfruit almond cake. Additional desserts include over 20 flavors of house-made truffles, colorful macarons, house-made cookies and gelato. On the savory side, Lottie offers elevated renditions of classic French lunch fare, including fresh bread, a seared tuna niçoise salad, quiche Lorraine and a jambon fromage sandwich on a flaky croissant with brie, prosciutto and fig jam.

Signature coffee and tea drinks are the hallmark of Lottie's beverage menu featuring La Colombe coffee. The Lottie Latte is a warming blend of cinnamon-infused espresso, orange essence and oat milk, while the La Colombe Draft Latte offers a more classic rendition of the beverage. Additional specialty coffee beverages, assorted teas and hot chocolate are also available, served in custom ceramicware and to-go packaging that feature Lottie's signature Daschund.

Lottie is open daily from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
