City hotel guide
Le Lavandou
Le Lavandou is a seaside resort town and commune in the Var department of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in Southeastern France. Deriving its name from either the prevalent lavender flowers or the Occitan word for a public washing place (lavoir), the town offers a charming Mediterranean atmosphere. For frequent hotel travelers, Le Lavandou provides a serene coastal escape rich in history. Notably, it is the birthplace of the classic song 'A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square,' written here in 1939. While the exact bar remains unidentified despite local efforts, the town's cultural heritage adds depth to your stay. With unique local characteristics, including historical titles and scenic beauty, it serves as an excellent base for exploring the French Riviera.

Dining
L'Oursin - Hôtel Les Roches
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
WebsiteLes Tamaris - Chez Raymond
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.
WebsiteMimosa
This discreet establishment close to the marina charms with its professionalism and modern cuisine with Provençal notes. Squid tentacle salad with aioli and lime vinaigrette; catch of the day with saffron gnocchi and tarragon emulsion; rabbit saddle stuffed with sage, served with a full-bodied jus with Espelette pepper. The elegantly presented dishes see striking flavours meet expertly executed cooking. There is a fine selection of organic wines from Provence to enjoy on the terrace in fine weather.
WebsiteLe Jardin
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.
WebsiteLe Relais des Maures
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.
