A Gourmet Journey: The Best Food Guide to St Tropez

The food scene in St Tropez blends the essence of French cuisine with rich Mediterranean flavors.  The area offers so many options, from quaint cafes to Michelin star restaurants – and we wanted to experience as many as we could. One of our favorite parts of traveling to new places is indulging in novel foods and local specialties.  A distinctive feature about dining in St Tropez is that most restaurants simply offer two seating times, at 8 pm and 10 pm.  Depending on the restaurant, the latter seating often comes with a burlesque-inspired show, featuring dance and other forms of entertainment.  It’s also common to find establishments that host live music or feature DJs, creating wonderful ambiance to enjoy the evenings in style.
