Prices in Saint-Tropez restaurants, as on the entire “Golden Coast,” cannot be considered low. However, the city’s finest establishments are rightly regarded as culinary landmarks: many boast Michelin stars, and gourmets who dine here never regret a single euro spent.
Lovers of haute cuisine should head straight to the three-Michelin-starred restaurant La Vague d'Or (Plage de la Bouillabaisse / La Résidence de la Pinède, tel.: +33-4-94-55-91-00). Each dish here is not only impeccably prepared but also elegantly presented — the plating itself often resembles a true gastronomic performance. The minimum dinner price is around 200 euros, and it’s advisable to book a table in advance.
The Bistro Canaille (28, rue des Remparts, 83990, tel: +330-4-94-97-40-96) offers excellent home-cooked food, and the staff welcomes tourists like family. The average check is 50-100 EUR for two people.
In Saint-Tropez cafes, too, prices will not please frugal tourists: you'll have to pay 15-25 EUR for one dish. You can save a lot of money during the day, when many places offer set lunches. In this case, an appetizer, main course and dessert will cost about 30 EUR. The best cafes in Saint-Tropez are as memorable for tourists as visiting local attractions.
In Saint-Tropez there are Indian (Gandhi, 3 Quai Epi, tel: +334-94-97-71-71) and Moroccan (Salama, 1 rue des tisserands, tel: +334-94-97-59-62) restaurants.
Tipping is usually included in the bill, but local good manners dictate that you should leave an additional 5% of the bill. That is, of course, if you really enjoyed the service.
