St.-Tropez: Where to Eat: Family Friendly: La Verdoyante

La Verdoyante

This inexpensive, family-run place is located in the nearby village of Gassin (a nice escape from the crowds and the heat). The restaurant excels in southern French classics including bouillabaisse, stuffed leg of rabbit and crème brulée flavored with lavender. The wine list includes many vintages from the neighboring vineyards. Sitting on the sunny terrace overlooking the countryside, you’ll feel like you’re in Provence.
