"My husband and I chose to dine here because it seemed nice and relaxing and had a menu that was varied enough to fit our tastes. Unbeknownst to us...it was rip off central. My husband ordered the beef tenderloin which was fine for ($45). I pointed to the "plat du jour" option (which is listed under the dinner menu and not the lunch menu) and asked the waitress what it was. She informed me that it was a fish called "St. Pierre", a lovely white fish. So I ordered what I thought was the "plat du jour."The restaurant was only half full when we sat down and ordered. It took close to 20 minutes to get the water and glass of wine that we ordered. After asking her for the water, she asked if we wanted "still or with gas?" I said just "ice water please."She then brought out a bottle of Evian, I told her tap was fine with us, since I noticed everyone else was drinking tap. I'm tired of buying 2-3 $8 bottle of water. Anyways, she brings out the tap water like we requested. Later the bill comes and I noticed that we were charged for the $8 Evian and now my "plat du jour" that was listed as $29, is now a "poisson du jour" for $45.Look I understand that St Tropez is not a place to go if you're not willing to drop cash, and I have no problem dropping $$ on food. But when I order a dish listed at $29 and then you try to tell me that you said you didn't have it and I ordered the "fish of the day" instead...and try to "up charge" me on $8 water bottle plus an extra $15 for the fish, I have a problem. I then show her the bill and her mistake. She says she made a mistake on the water but unfortunately, the fish was $45. She then tried to say that the "plat du jour" is for lunch only. We'll, first you said you didn't have it, and now it's for lunch only ( although listed on dinner menu).As I was waiting for her to refund the water, the manager asked if he could help me. I showed him the bill and explained what happened. He took the bill and said he would fix the mistakes.Next thing I know, the waitress comes to me and says "the water is my mistake, but the fish is yours. So here's 8 euros back for the water you didn't order." Wow. It's not the $45 fish! It's the principle! You can't do that! You can't treat customers like that! Anyways, stay away... or check the bill closely.Consider yourself warned.One more thing, the bathrooms are disgusting! Smelled like urine and was near the kitchen where I couldn't even look at the floor because it was so dirty and gross."

I love Le Bistro - perfectly situated on le Place des Lices, fantastic ambience, lovely friendly staff, amazing food and great live music later on. We always have a good time there.

Located in a square about 400 yds from the harbour, it is quite peaceful, except for the light traffic nearby. Service rapid, food good and very reasonable. We had the impression that someone could cook properly. Would return

Unimpressive food from the French equivalent of Iceland (Picard) nothing is freshly cooked. Lack of seasoning. The bruschetta tasted like cheap nasty pizza. Nice resto and service but need to spend money on ingredients rather than laundry, and a decent chef is needed. View menu

We chose to miss the harbour-side restaurants and chose this bistro just off the market square. My wife had seafood risotto and I had moules and chips, great chips, washed down with cold beers and rose. It suited us perfectly, the service was good and prices are what they are in Saint Tropez but we were well satisfied.

We have taken our children here three times now every time we visit St T, aged 3,4 and now 11. The location is great as set round the village square and away from the high tourist/pricey harbour side. The food is a good standard as is the wine, for us pigeon French speaking people they offer an English worded menu. The only negative comment would be service was sigh fly slow although this extended are visit which was nice. Would return for a 4th visit

The host was very welcoming and fixed a very nice table for us 3 plus a stroller. Perfect introduction really!!Menus were given right away and drinks were offered. No kids menu for diner... And nothing under 25€! Not really kids friendly!Burgers were tasteless made of cheap ingredients, tuna tataki was tasteless and the beef filet with pepper sauce a rip off!The bread tasted like old chemical... All together a charming place but they should invest in a real chef to propose these prices for such a cheap quality! View menu

Go to the market square in St Tropez in the afternoon - there is a row of busy outdoor restaurants there, and number 3 from theleft is "Bistro". - My wife and I just sat down there - why not?We did not regret afterwards. Service was quick, although the place was at least three quartes full, the menue was simple - good choices - and within 15 minutes we had our meal going. High rate food, cooked to our intentions, wine absolutely well matched, and the bill was pleasant.We have been there four times since.If you think you have gone wrong here, you have gone to the wrong place.

There are, as you can imagine, lots of choices of restaurants around the Place de Lices. We checked out quite a few and most didn't appeal to my son, who, although he has a relatively adult palate, just didn't find much to his liking. Well, the Bistro did. We ate from the set menu. After small, beautiful broiche buns filled with shrimp and tomatoes - I had the delicious burrata with fresh tomato and pesto- my son had curried pork tenderloin (more like pork belly) and my husband and I had the fish with crispy slices of chorizo and a sauce of cauliflower and tomato/chorizo. Sublime. Despite desperately wanting my son to choose the caramel and walnut tart so I could share it, he chose the grape...

"we had the 5 course menu, 1 normal, 1 vegetarian. the vegetarian was good but not up to the standard we experienced in similar establishments and not on the level of the non-vegetarian. waiters also did not mention it. it was just a small part on the bottom of the menu. we felt that's also about the appreciation it got from the chef. in our opinion, if u offer a vegetarian menu, it must be on an equal level as the rest of the menu. it wasn't (seems as if les légumes alone just are not much of an inspiration to the chef which clearly reflected in the courses). it wasn't bad but from a 3 star restaurant I expect fireworks even without meat; especially if the theme is provénce. the normal 5 course menu was good but the overuse of grapefruit started to annoy me after the second time 4 or so slices were used on my dish as it was way too sour, clearly overshadowing the other flavors and the note of sour even persisted through the coursesafter the palette refreshener which also contained some lemon notes came the dessert (kind of lemon tart) which was so sour that we both could not finish it. it was like a punch in the face after such perfectly and tastefully balanced 4 previous courses that explored familiar and unfamiliar flavor profiles and combinations (on a deserved 3 star level in my opinion - even though I missed obvious associations to la provénce). the rest of the desserts (which seemed to make up of 30%+ of the overall food volume; no idea why such an emphasis on sweet/sour for just a 5 course meal) couldn't help and were clearly on a much lower level as the rest of the food which was very disappointing to us. also, to be honest, lemon notes belong more to Italy than to the provence (google oops I dropped the lemon tart). all in all a mixed experience which started strong and gradually worsened. A bite into a lemon or grapefruit would have given me a purer taste of la provence if i wanted to explore the perfect sour note. service was excellent, excited and friendly. wine pairing good."

"It was the best of meals, The second, not so much. On the Wednesday evening we explained that we needed one gluten free meal. We were immediately handed over to a charming lady, who we took to be the proprietor. She assured us that she would confer with the chef. We ordered a “coquelet roti” with a cream and grape sauce and a fillet steak served without sauces. Chips were covered in gluten but the chef proposed a salad for the steak and the “coquelet” came with a Gratin Dauphinoise. All the food was delicious. The chicken was soft and sweet the sauce had a depth of flavour aided and abeted by the small bursts of sweet grape juice from the grapes within it. The steak was perfect; maximum of flavour from the seared outside, maximum of soft juiciness from the tender pink interior. Dessert was a fruit crumble that had not had the crumble added, pronounced delicious, and a crème broulee. The crème was not a traditional baked vanilla egg custard. It tasted like a flour based preparation and was devoid of vanilla. All in all, the service had been attentive and the food mostly great. We determined that we would return for a second meal and looked forward to it.Mistake! Sunday evening, the waitress remembered us, and promised to check for gluten free food. She checked the Champaign sauce that was served with the Salmon. We could not have it. She was not aware that the rice, the dauphinoise and the chips all contained gluten. She suggested salad. We said that would be fine. The Dorade Royale, one of my favourite fish was sold out but they could offer Sea Bass. O.K., that would do. The salad delivered with the dry salmon was a simple bag mix of leaves, not the fresh mixed salad it had been four days before. It had brown stalks and tasted stale. The fish was undoubtedly the worst cooked fish I have ever been served. It had clearly been laid on a metal tray and placed under an electric grill. It had not been turned or moved until it was served. Consequently, the top skin was like leather. It defied my efforts with the serrated knife provided to cut through it. I had to prize it off to get to the very dry fish beneath. A simple glaze of oil would have ensured that the skin became crispy and a delicious part of the fish. It would also have ensured that the (Chef?) remembered to turn the fish under the grill. When I turned the fish on the plate, the lower side skin was a soggy mess where all the juices had soaked it through. Scraping it off, the second fillet was edible, despite the attentions of the chef. We told the waitress what was wrong with our food. She said she would tell the chef. We don’t know if she did. We did not see him."
