Petit Jacques

Restaurant€€6.5 km

As you make your way up through the pretty paved streets of Grimaud to this enchanting leafy patio, you are already bewitched. Spread over two floors, the charm of this house is undeniable (light wooden floors, raftered ceilings, lime plastered walls, well-worn bench seating and soft lighting). The Quebec-born chef and his partner in charge of the front of house regale diners with spot-on market-fresh cuisine and a traditional culinary line-up, featuring family favourites like onion soup or French toast (of brioche) with a scoop of Madagascan vanilla ice cream to die for! Everything is made in

Les Santons

Restaurant€€€6.7 km

This lovely Provençal inn is full of character, with its exposed beams, flower arrangements and, of course, its collection of figurines (santons in French). The menu never gets boring, alternating between classic cuisine and contemporary dishes, such as rack of lamb with crispy new garlic, garnished with a millefeuille of candied peppers and chard. The traditional aged-rum baba with vanilla whipped cream deserves a special mention.
