Hôtel des Roches has been entirely rebuilt with local Bormes stone, giving it a new lease of life. Perched on the rocks just above the sea, it boasts spectacular views from Cap Nègre to the Îles du Levant. In the kitchen, chef Antoine Gras (La Table de l'Ours, Val-d'Isère) takes up residency for the summer, returning to the Mediterranean roots of his early career. His cuisine is pared back (a premium ingredient, a sauce and a side) and rooted in local tradition: fish from a Le Lavandou fisherman; herbs and vegetables from his kitchen garden. Tamaris oysters are enveloped in seaweed and spinach

Le Relais des Maures

Traditional Cuisine

€€

This large inn cultivates the taste of the South. The chef conjures up cuisine oozing in Provençal tradition depending on market availability, all of which at sensible prices: seabream and aioli; seabass in parsley and parmesan cream; Solliès strawberries and a sweet pesto. A few guestrooms are available, just a few dozen metres from a D-Day beach. Well-managed and very friendly.

Les Tamaris - Chez Raymond

Seafood

€€€

Bourride, stuffed capon, grilled Mediterranean langouste, and, above all, the iconic bouillabaisse cooked over a wood fire. Under the watchful eye of its colourful boss, Raymond, the local catch of the day takes pride of place in this iconic institution on Saint-Clair beach. The terrace overlooking the sea is exquisite – so remember to ask for a seat here when you book (compulsory).

Le Mazet

Patrice Hardy, former Michelin-starred chef from Neuilly, has donned his apron again and is working alongside his charming wife, Corinne. At Le Mazet, just off Saint-Clair beach, he indulges in his favourite pastime: working with fine produce (in particular his beloved truffles). The dishes are harmony on a plate: iced velouté of Coco de Paimpol haricot beans, tomatoes, mini-croûtons and aromatic oil; crispy farm-reared pork; roast pineapple tart and sorbet.

Le Jardin

Modern Cuisine

€€

Set in a picturesque little street in the old part of the village, this small restaurant initially charms you with its rustic appeal and delightful terrace, complete with fountain and pergola, and surrounded by greenery and flowers. In the kitchen, Riccardo Berto sprinkles his colourful Mediterranean dishes with Peruvian touches, informed by his experience as chef at L'Altiplano in Val d'Isère. One example would be the amberjack ceviche enhanced by an invigorating leche de tigre with peach and crispy corn. A truly enjoyable experience.
