Wetting whistles since 1789, this historic cafe is where artists and painters preferred to hang out back in the days when St-Trop was still a sleepy port. Happily, it has clung on to its no-nonsense roots – you’ll find solid dishes such as pot-roasted chicken, mussels and grilled fish on the menu.
The the lovely pewter bar, backed by antique mirrors and surrounded by wooden fixtures, gives it a cosy fin-de-siècle vibe. You can borrow a set of boules if you want to take on some pétanque players on the square. Don’t confuse this place with the other, more modern cafe (with green awnings) just along the square.
