Where to eat in Saint-Tropez
In Saint-Tropez, the bill can occasionally have more personality than the food. These five places have a reason to exist beyond the valet parking.
For a Tropezian meal without the celebrity circus, start in the Ponche quarter or with seafood. For a major dinner, the stars have earned their place.
Le Petit Pointu
Pour le poisson dans le vieux quartier de la Ponche.
A family-run seafood table whose current identity dates to 2015, with grilled fish, calamari, sardines and seafood pasta in a deliberately maritime setting.

Pour dîner littéralement au bord du mythe tropézien.
The five-star hotel’s Mediterranean restaurant extends towards the tiny Ponche cove, in a house whose history is tied to Boris Vian, Bardot and the Nouvelle Vague. The setting is famous; the reason to go is that it still feels like a place, not a theme park.

Pour les produits de la mer sur le port, version institution.
A Saint-Tropez seafood house on the port for more than fifty years, with shellfish, grilled fish, bouillabaisse and the full Mediterranean repertoire. Yes, it is on the port. No, that does not automatically make it a tourist trap.

Pour une étoile Michelin loin du port.
Chef Philippe Colinet runs this dinner-only Michelin-starred restaurant at Hôtel Sezz, with a highly seasonal, plant-forward Mediterranean approach. A good option when you want Saint-Tropez to lower its voice for a few hours.

Pour le grand soir. Très grand.
Arnaud Donckele’s three-Michelin-star restaurant builds an intensely Mediterranean cuisine around local fish, vegetables and extraordinary sauces. This is not the place to “grab something”. It is the evening.
