Destination: St.-Tropez
Cocktails Text Size A A A
Café Le Sénéquier
The vast terrace of scarlet canvas chairs is a thoroughly entertaining place for aperitifs and yacht-gazing. Once frequented by the likes of Colette, Sartre and Cocteau, it still attracts a French showbiz crowd at sunset. Indulge in a tarte tropezienne from the café’s pastry shop (the rather filling cream cake was introduced to St.-Tropez by a Polish baker in the 1950s).
La Villa Romana
This is the St.-Tropez you’ve read about in the glossies: waiters sometimes sport leopard-print outfits, the Venetian and Baroque decor incorporates plenty of red and purple velvet, scantily clad models parade by while diners tuck into caviar and blinis or lobster with apples and grapefruit. A good place for a giant cocktail and for VIP-spotting.
Le Bar du Sube
On the second floor of a historic portside hotel, this pub is frequented by local mariners year-round. No flash here—just nautical nostalgia, model-sailboat decor and worn leather booths. Grab a seat on the balcony for a ringside seat of the yachts.
Le Café de Paris
The outside terrace of this staple has a prime vantage point of the yachts across the quay; inside, the red velvet booths and ornate chandeliers set the tone for theatrical entrances. A favorite rendezvous spot for the bronzed Parisian set.
