Kinugawa

Why we recommend Kinugawa in St Tropez

We keep Kinugawa on the short list of St Tropez dining rooms worth a standalone night rather than a squeezed-in pre-club meal. Riviera-refined dining with Bastille Day, regatta and high-season draw. Outside Las Vegas, MyRSVP focuses on nightclub and pool-club bookings rather than restaurant reservations, so this page is written as a city guide: the room and its point of view, the menu cues, the practical timing, and the fastest way to reserve your own table. Use it alongside a MyRSVP nightlife or pool booking to stack the full evening.

What to expect in the room and on the menu

Kinugawa occupies a prime harborfront perch at 27 Quai Jean Jaurès, its minimalist interior of dark wood and soft lighting opening onto a terrace with unobstructed views of yachts and Mediterranean sunsets. The Kinugawa group—known for refined Japanese outposts across Paris and beyond—executes an exacting menu: Toro Tartare with Caviar and Black Cod Miso anchor the starters and mains, while Wagyu Beef Tataki and premium sushi selections cater to traditionalists. The wine and sake list runs deep, and signature cocktails like the Sakura Martini pair cleanly with desserts such as Matcha Mochi. Open May 15 through September 30, dinner service runs 7:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. The space manages both intimate romance and upscale group dining; curated background music—soft jazz bleeding into modern beats—complements impeccable service that treats every guest as VIP. Expect high pricing and fiercely competitive reservations, particularly in July and August. Larger parties and peak-season slots often require a month’s advance planning.

Reservations — how to book Kinugawa

A quick note on how to use this page: Kinugawa sits on our curated St Tropez dining shortlist, but MyRSVP doesn’t hold restaurant inventory here — that concierge service is Las Vegas-only. For the reservation, book direct with the venue on whichever channel they use (their own site, OpenTable, Resy, SevenRooms, or phone). For a nightclub, pool day, or beach club layered into the same St Tropez trip, that is the part where MyRSVP picks up — submit the form on the relevant venue page and we will coordinate that side of the evening with your dinner reservation as the anchor point.

Hours, dress, and planning windows

What to know before you visit Kinugawa. The room operates on these hours: Nightly 7:30 PM – 1:00 AM (seasonal). On the dress side: Strictly smart and elegant. Peak demand in St Tropez falls around late May through early September, with July and August at peak, sharpest on Pampelonne Beach season, Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez regatta — those are the dates the reservation book closes furthest out. If the main dining room is full on your target date, ask the restaurant about chef’s counter, bar seats or a tasting-menu slot; those formats often stay open days after the primary book has gone.

How MyRSVP helps with the rest of your St Tropez trip

Reserving Kinugawa. Use the restaurant’s own booking channel for the dinner reservation; availability, private dining and chef’s-counter inventory live with the restaurant, not with MyRSVP. Dinner reservations are direct with Kinugawa. For the nightclub, pool day or beach club you’re planning around the meal, submit the MyRSVP form on the relevant venue page and a concierge assigned to that venue will be in touch with pricing, placement and the best area for your group.
