"Casual" isn’t often thrown around in Saint-Tropez, but Charly’z is exactly that – a Pampelonne beach restaurant with simple cooking and a relaxed atmosphere. On summer evenings, Charly’z turns the volume up, with live music ranging from DJs to full-on guinguette. Ring ahead to book a table, order a fresh goat cheese salad and leave your shoes behind. 

Named after Loulou de la Falaise, Yves Saint Laurent’s irreverent muse, this Pampelonne beach club lives up to its namesake: colourful yellow and white transats, elegant white tablecloths, and Chef Benoît Dargère’s unfussy Mediterranean cooking. Dishes such as a green bean salad under smoky ricotta and crushed Sicilian pistachios give a sense of the kitchen’s register. Book well ahead. 

World-renowned chef Nobu Matsuhisa has opened his doors in the enchanting 15th-century Château de la Messardière, where people can enjoy his legendary Japanese cuisine. The omakase is honestly beyond anything we've ever experienced!
