Mandy Sue, Mother of Two

Even if you’re too cool for all the popular places in Saint-Tropez, you know you still love these classic spots.  They are for the informed first-timers and the experienced Tropezienne travelers.

Le Club 55

An unforgettable lunch at Le Club 55 is a must! Enter the restaurant by walking down the most picturesque beach pathway. Order their famous crudités platter, piled high with the freshest locally grown produce and make sure to pair it with plenty of chilled French rosé. After lunch, take a dip in the Med at their beach with its famous pier located just beyond the sand-floored dining area.

I was lucky enough to be able to celebrate a birthday there and they brought out a beautiful Tarte de Tropezienne.  Their take on the classic Tropezienne dessert is perfection and it sells out, so don’t be afraid to let your server know you want a slice. Lunch here is a beautiful experience in a refined and serene, yet bustling sandy beach restaurant; where the people watching is hard to beat.

Sennequier

This is the perfect spot to treat yourself to a delightful interlude during anytime of the day with the best corner for people watching in the port. Whether it’s a French breakfast, a quick coffee pick-me-up, a relaxing aperitif, or digestif, this place has it all.

And Senequier has great food, too. The menu has classic French options, you might be tempted to stay for a full dinner, evenings they switch out the tabletops from the trademark triangle to a round top.

A traditional drink served here is Pastis, an anise-flavored liqueur popular in all of Provence.  It is best after a meal to aid in digestion.

L’Opera

This is seriously my favorite restaurant.  I have had so much fun every time I’ve had the pleasure of dining at L’Opera.  Get ready for an epic evening where dinner turns into a mesmerizing dancing show. Dress to impress and reserve a table for the late dinner seating. If you’re lucky, you might even find yourself dancing on the table! Raise a glass of champagne and let the night unfold in style.
