Restaurants

 

Cavalaire

 

bullet

Pizza place near circle and petanque courts.

bullet

Pizzaiole at the port:  sit and eat "moules & frites" and watch the tourists.

bullet

Moules:  if you like mussels, there is a restaurant at the port back behind Pizzaiole that serves just mussels.  You get a big pot of mussels.

bullet

Restaurant row: near the laundromat there is a row of restaurants.  We like the one in the middle (forgotten the name) and also the Srilankan one at the end.

bullet

Creperie:  Across from the parking lot at the port, eat crepes here.

 

 

La Croix Valmer
 

bullet

At the circle in La Croix Valmer there is a pizza place that makes great pizza.  Grab one on your way into Cavalaire or while you stop at the nearby market.

 

Gigaro
 

bullet

Pepe The Pirate:  at the end of road in Gigaro before it turns left up the hill is Pepe The Pirate on the beach.  Good prices with great views of the beach and water.  Note:  if you can't find a parking spot on the beach, there is a public parking lot.  Turn left at the intersection as you drive in and then go up a short ways.

 

 

 

Gassin

 

bullet

Pick a beautiful day and go sit on the terrace of one of the many restaurants at the main square in Gassin.  Look out at the spectacular view over the gulf of St. Tropez as you dine.  It may not be the cheapest meal you buy, but definitely one of the nicest.  The French dine promptly at noon until 2 p.m.

 

La Garde Freinet

 

bullet

La Garde Freinet:  La Faucado restaurant on the main road into town.  3 Star restaurant.  Eat on the terrace if it is a nice day or inside in the beautiful interior.  The waiter speak English but may not reveal it to you.  Ask for the bottle of cognac at the end with your cheese.  They do not take credit cards.  Make sure you have cash.  Don't miss the hike up to the old castle at the top of the hill with beautiful views.

 

Food

 

bullet

Champion:  There is a big Champion food store on the west side of town on the inbound side of the road from Toulon (Ave. Des Allies).  If you are clever, take the ramp by the gas pump up to the upper level to park.  Stick a 1 EU coin into the slot to release one of the shopping carts.  If you buy vegetables, make sure to put it on the scale and attach a sticker on the plastic bag before checking out.  Good prices.  Try one of the cheap local wines.  There is also a Champion at the mall in St. Tropez at the circle with the McDonalds.

bullet

Markets:  The Wednesday market in Cavalaire or Saturday market in St. Tropez is a great place to buy vegetables, cheese, Paella, fresh olives, or other goodies.

bullet

Rotisserie chicken is sold many  places and makes a good meal.

bullet

Note:  You will probably buy far more food than you will actually consume during your stay.  Unless it is canned or unopened, leave nothing in the apartment.  Throw it out!
