Very nice and authentic restaurant. You can either choose the restaurant downstairs, on the beach, where you’ll be eating with your feet in the sand… Or you may opt as well for the pizzeria upstairs, which can be very nice and less crowded.

A bit different from the traditional restaurants of Pampelonne, a bit further away, but much more chill ambiance and very nice view over this little creek past cap Lardier. Very nice alternative if you want a change.

Favorite dinner restaurant
for dinner
I absolutely LOVE IT… It is extremely well and reasonably priced, and Laurent and Berenice became very good friends…. You can walk there from the villa. You should book in advance, and let them know you are renting LA BALDINA. They will treat you well. You won’t be dancing on the tables, but you will eat a very nice food, in a very nice setting

A very nice little village restaurant, where all the celebrities are going… A unique place where when it comes to “paté” they bring the whole terrine and leave it on the table… as well as with the cheese board!!! And the first time I came, since we could only pay by cash or check and I had only my credit card on me at the time, they let me go saying “don’t worry, you will send us a check once you go home!”... Not sure if they still do it, but you should try it if you feel like having a big traditional dinner one night!

Up in the medieval village of Grimaud, I have been charmed by the kindness and the food of this little restaurant.
The Italian chef has managed to perform a very nice French cuisine, mixed with Italian accent, that he even manages to match with Japanese Sake. A real pleasure the few times I went there last winter!

If you don’t know Port Grimaud, this may already be a good reason to visit. Like a little Venice, it is charming with all the little canals and restaurants….
This pizzeria serves delicious pizza to eat in or take away.
If you want to eat in, there are only a few tables by the canal and you may have to wait a fairly long time…. But this is so charming!!! I think it’s worth a try!

St Tropez at its best or at its worst…. Depending on what you’re looking for… But if you want to see a show with the waiters suddenly all dancing on the tables, some opera singer suddenly staring singing on Ariana Grande, be overcharged for some good food… but totally overpriced… then I think you have to go ☺
Anyway, it wouldn’t be my absolute priority but still worth a shot if you are in a party mood.

If you are in a party mood but don’t necessary fancy going to L’Opera (cf. above) then a nice alternative would be to go to La Sauvageonne. Located in the middle of the vineyards, a bit of the beaten track, it plays some good old-fashioned 1980’s music and everybody ends up dancing on the tables as well!

Located on Place des Lices, it’s a Mexican restaurant with a nice décor, and where I find the waiters nice and friendly. It will be very loud… There will be some tequila involved… And you will end up dancing on the tables as well…. But it is a much much better alternative to Brasserie des Arts that I would really NOT recommend.

I am not a fan usually of the restaurant on the Harbor of St Tropez, but “La Petite Pelage” serves a nice Mediterranean cuisine in a very nice and friendly décor.
You’ll be walking on some white sand.
