First, there is the place – an old Provençal stone house on a quiet street, with a terrace where dinner goes on well past midnight. Then the food. Jaïs Mimoun opened one of the most sought-after bistros in Paris, and this is its Ramatuelle sibling. The sea bass carpaccio comes with candied ginger vinegar, the Guanaja chocolate mousse with Kalamata olive oil and fleur de sel.

Saint-Tropez does a good job of making you forget you’re surrounded by vineyards. Le Chai is the reminder. The tasting room and restaurant of the Fondugues-Pradugues estate sit on a terrace overlooking the vines, serving biodynamic rosé while chef Valentine Costuna sends out dishes to share. In summer, there are sunset markets with local makers, pétanque under the pines, and everyone’s favourite: dinner in the fields with the vines turning gold around you.

When we're in the mood for excellent food and a beautiful, romantic setting, we always book a table at La Ferme Ladoucer. There's nothing more charming than a candlelit garden amongst the vineyards.

Famous for their extraordinary rosé made from organic grapes, Château Barbeyrolles is a must-visit if you're in Saint-Tropez. Taste their wines and get your hands on a bottle or two to take home with you.
