1. Dior Café des Lices
$$$ | |What could be more fashionable than tucking into exquisite cuisine—prepared by Michelin-starred guest chefs such as Yannick Alleno and Arnaud Donckele—in an enchanting sheltered garden designed by Peter Wirtz at the House of Dior? Meals are reasonably priced for St-Tropez, and the dessert selection is large (consider trying the much-lauded, tiny, round D’Choux pastries, which come in a variety of flavors). This magical oasis is also the perfect place to toast the sunset with a glass of Champagne; expect to pay €60 for une verre of Dom Pérignon 2004, though.
13 rue François Sibilli, St-Tropez, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, 83990, France04–98–12–67–65Known For
- Huge dessert menu, including famed caramel D'Choux
- Comparatively reasonable prices
- Secret garden vibe

2. La Maison Bleue
$$$ | |Cheerful blue-and-white-checked tablecloths, massive colorful throw cushions, and a polished wood facade give this unpretentious "blue house" on the main pedestrian street a welcoming air. You'll find straightforward fresh pasta like tagliatelle pistou and ravioli and simple grilled meat and fish dishes, accompanied by well-chosen local wines.
48 rue Paul Bert, Ste-Maxime, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, 83120, France04–94–96–51–92Known For
- Magical last dinner of any vacation
- Friendly owner
- Good value €21 lunch menu
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Mon. and Tues. Apr.–June and Sept.–Nov. Closed Dec.–Mar. -
3. Le Bistrot de Louis
$$$ | |This place checks all the French-bistro boxes—mouthwatering classic dishes, a chalkboard menu, and a setting on a cobblestone street—with the bonus of friendly service. The three-course €55 menu rounds off the experience, and there is a vegan option.
9 pl. Colbert, Ste-Maxime, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, 83120, France04–94–44–88–27Known For
- Beef Wellington with truffle sauce
- Accommodating service
- Location on a quaint pedestrian square
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Mon. and Jan.–Mar. -
4. Le Boucanier
$$$ | |Years ago, former French pro soccer player Wilfrid Gohel teamed up with Eric Chaumier, president of the regional retailers union, and took over this waterfront favorite. They could have just banked on the wraparound views of the marina and château to bring in the dinner crowds, but instead they refined the menu to include grilled bass with smoked salt petals and salmon marinated with pure malt whiskey and sautéed with matcha tea velouté sauce.
273 av. Henry Clews, Mandelieu-la-Napoule, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, 06210, France04–93–49–80–51Known For
- Good-value €49 three-course menu
- Incredible views
- Vegan, pasta, and kids' options
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Mon. Oct.–Mar. No dinner Sun. Oct.–Mar. -
5. Le Café
$$$$ | |The busy terrace here often doubles as a stadium for different factions cheering on local pétanque players in Place des Lices. Service can be slow, but the setting, the food (say, black truffle and foie gras macaroni with Parmesan or seven-hour lamb confit with spices), and the piano bar with throwbacks to Piaf and Aznavour make this place memorable. It's open daily 8 am–3 am (with a well-priced €18 lunch menu) and always seems packed, so reservations are a good idea.
5 pl. des Lices, St-Tropez, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, 83990, France04–94–97–44–69Known For
- Well-priced lunch menu
- French music nightly
- Languid service

6. Le Girelier
$$$$ | |Fish, fish, and more fish—sea bass, salmon, sole, sardines, monkfish, lobster, and crayfish all fill the boats that pull into the Old Port and find their way onto the menu here. Although grilled seafood (with a little thyme and perhaps a whisper of olive oil and garlic) is the order of the day, this is also a stronghold for bouillabaisse. The clientele is buffed and bronzed, but the servers tend to treat everyone like tourists. The lunch plat du jour (€21) is a bargain in this town; otherwise, mind the check: you'll be surprised just how expensive fish per 100g can be.
Quai Jean-Jaurès, St-Tropez, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, 83990, France04–94–97–03–87Known For
- Fabulous views of Vieux Port yachts
- Seafood priced by weight (which gets expensive)
- Reasonably priced wine list and lunch menu

Rate Includes: Closed Nov.–mid-Mar. -
7. Le Magnan
$$$ | |Just 10 km (6 miles) west of St-Tropez and 4 km (2½ miles) south of Grimaud and the village of La Mole, this bucolic old farmhouse restaurant sits on a hillside over forests dense with cork oak and chestnuts. Whether you eat on the terrace with its views of the Massif des Maures and Gulf of St-Tropez or in the rustic dining room, the food tastes and smells of the surrounding countryside. Think crispy baked St-Marcelin cheese with honey and nuts or grilled beef tenderloin, fried potatoes, and béarnaise sauce, nicely topped off with chocolate and mango sorbet. Add the warm and friendly service, and this is your dream French restaurant experience. Choose from a three-course set menu (€45–€55), or order à la carte.
3085 rte. de Cogolin, RN 98, Le Môle, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, 83310, France04–94–49–57–54Known For
- Roast chicken like Maman used to make
- Large portions
- Gorgeous views
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Mon.–Wed. No lunch Thurs. Closed 10 days early Nov. and 6 wks starting Jan 2. -
8. Le Temps des Cerises
$$$ | |You'll find your bonheur (happiness) in this popular and centrally located gem of Dutch owner-chef Lodewijk Schröder. From a hearty black Angus steak to a mouthwatering chicken vol-au-vent, the selection is classic French gastronomy (so definitely not vegan or vegetarian-friendly). There are a few chic surprises for the middle of a tourist town, like the Indonesian Nasi Rames spicy rice dish. Too bad about the trucks and motorcycles roaring past.
2 pl. de la République, Fayence, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, 83440, France04–94–76–01–19Known For
- Consistently high-quality meals
- Homemade ice cream and sorbets
- Lovely terrace atmosphere on a slightly noisy road
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Tues. and Wed. -
9. Nino's
$ | | ItalianAt the far southeast tip of Théoule's miniature bay, this unpretentious pizzeria serves simple Italian specialties—but, oh, what a setting. A few tables line a wooden "boathouse" porch directly over the lapping water, and at night the whole glittering necklace of Cannes reflects its luxurious glow over the bay. Good wood-oven pizzas and pastas add superfluous pleasure.
6 chemin Débarcadère, Théoule-sur-Mer, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, 06590, France-04–92–97–61–11Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Oct.–Easter. -
10. Récif
$$$$ | |This retro restaurant opened when luxe hotel Les Roches Rouges was transformed by French hotelier Valéry Grégo, and it has since picked up one Michelin star. The dinner-only menu is dedicated to gastronomic yet inventive regional dishes, which head chef José Bailly bases on La Cuisine Provençale de la Tradition Populaire, a 1963 cookbook of traditional recipes by René Jouveau.
90 bd. de la 36ème-Division-du-Texas, St-Raphaël, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, 83700, France04–89–81–40–60Known For
- Three- and five-course tasting menus only
- Spectacular seaside setting
- Hotel guests aren't guaranteed restaurant reservations

Rate Includes: Closed Mon. and Tues. and Oct.–mid-May, Reservation necessary. -
11. Restaurant Le G'envie
$$$$ | |It’s always a good sign when people are willing to line up for a seat at a tiny joint like this one. Tucked away on an unassuming street behind the port, with views of Notre Dame church, this restaurant is where you come for classic French food without the St-Tropez prices. The magret de carnard has diners salivating, and the traditional veal and lamb dishes are equally as delicious.
67 Rue Portail Neuf, St-Tropez, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France04–94–79–85–09Known For
- No-reservations policy
- French duck and traditional veal dishes
- Tiny shaded spot on a tiny street
