Bistro Canaille

Top choice in St-Tropez


Probably the pick of the modern places to eat in town – creative, cosy and great value while still hitting the gourmet heights. It’s got the soul of a bistro, but specialises in fusion-style tapas dishes inspired by the owners’ travels – like local dourade with olives and yuzu (Japanese citrus). More tempting combinations are chalked on the board.
