La Bouillabaisse: The Beach Vibe of Saint-Tropez

La Bouillabaisse is a cherished part of the local heritage. In the 1900s, Madame Gardanne, a sturdy and determined cook, opened an inn along the national highway that she named La Bouillabaisse, inspired by Etienne Bilal’s song “Lou Cabanon.”

There, she welcomed travelers, fishermen, and local regulars with the firm hand of a future grande dame and served them.

Gardanne served lobsters and grilled fish, stuffed vegetables, and the same bouillabaisse every day.

In the summer of 1932, the first beach huts began to appear on the beach, and the restaurant established itself as a haven for well-informed vacationers and longtime residents of Saint-Tropez.

By 1965, it was known as a “trendy beach,” but far from the glitz and festive spirit of Pampelonne, the spot had carved out a different reputation: that of a sure bet.

IL GIARDINO BYBLOS

Under the majestic plane trees on the terrace of the Hotel Byblos, the atmosphere is reminiscent of an Italian village piazzetta. The atmosphere is ‘Dolce Vita’, intimate and relaxed. Here, Alain Ducasse reinvents the success of Cucina in Paris, adapting it to the fashion of Saint-Tropez. The Byblos chef sublimates the flavours and products of Italian cuisine. The menu includes tasty ‘Antipasti’ such as bruschetta with octopus and caponata, and irresistible ‘Primi’ such as paccheri with beef cheek confit. Roman pizzas, generous and delicious, are a must. The pastas, particularly the linguine alle vongole, are a real treat. The new pastry chef, Geoffrey Turpin, will delight you with his ‘dolci’: tiramisu, chocolate pizza and affogato. The Cucina restaurant, housed in the legendary Le Byblos Saint-Tropez hotel, serves authentic, generous Italian cuisine. In a chic, friendly setting with a large glass kitchen and green walls, dishes such as pasta flambéed in a wheel of Parmesan cheese are for sharing. The terrace under the plane trees is the perfect place to enjoy authentic Neapolitan pizzas baked in a wood-fired oven. With Italian classics such as antipasti, charcuterie, vitello tonnato, red tuna ikejime a la plancha and veal escalope Milanese, Cucina offers an efficient menu in a chic, relaxed atmosphere. A true haven of peace in the heart of Saint-Tropez, where the essential pleasure lies in sharing a good meal in an exceptional setting.
