La Console

La Console's terrace looks straight down over the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, the kind of view that makes a long Mediterranean lunch feel mandatory.

The kitchen leans on herbs and produce grown in the property's own gardens, and the menu changes daily depending on what the local fish market yields that morning. Lunch, rather than dinner, is when the view earns its reputation, so book a midday table if the schedule allows it.
