Le Cafe

Nestled in the heart of Saint-Tropez’s iconic Place des Lices at 83990 Saint-Tropez, Le Café Saint-Tropez is a historic brasserie that has epitomized the village’s dolce vita since 1789. A cornerstone of Provençal charm, this beloved restaurant blends authentic French cuisine with a vibrant piano bar and a shaded terrace, attracting VIPs, locals, and international jet-setters.

The ambiance at Le Café is a perfect fusion of nostalgic elegance and modern sophistication. The sun-drenched terrace, shaded by plane trees, invites leisurely meals with views of pétanque players and bustling market stalls, while the interior boasts lush Provençal decor with light colors, floral moiré fabrics, and vintage touches like cinema posters and a zinc counter.

The warm, attentive service ensures every guest feels like a VIP.
