Escargot 41 recently expanded from the 1,500-square-foot unit where the French restaurant has operated for more than 15 years to a modern, new 2,500-square-foot space just a few steps away in the corner courtyard at Park Shore Plaza on U.S. 41 in Naples. Within the next two weeks, the larger restaurant will have its full liquor license and outdoor tables will be added around the decorative fountain in the center of the courtyard. Escargot 41, 4351 Tamiami Trail N., is open 5 to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and closed Sundays. For more information call 239-793-5000 or go to escargot41.com. Targeted to open in early 2021 in the space recently vacated by Escargot will be Crème de la Crème, a European-style cafe and bakery with French, Italian and Mediterranean specialties.
