Le Café
Artists and intellectuals have been meeting in St-Tropez's most famous café (originally called Café des Arts) for years. Aspiring pétanque players can borrow boules from the bar and join the square's illustrious ball-chuckers. Don't confuse this place with the newer, red-canopied Café des Arts on the corner.

La Tarte Tropézienne
A must-try is the local speciality, tarte Tropézienne, an orange-blossom-flavoured double sponge cake filled with thick cream, created by a Polish baker and christened by BB in the 1950s. This bakery, the original creator, is the best place to buy one.

Kiousk 3.14
It's just so design, darling, the café of 3.14 Hôtel a block down the road. Cream plastic or sofa seating provides a brilliant contrast to the smart emerald-green silk cushions sprinkled around the clean-cut space. It's nonsmoking noon to 20:00.

La Banane
This hidden little bolt hole in the old town is a chic spot for a drink or a Grand Marnier-flambéed crêpe or croque banane (grilled banana sandwich that is much more elegant than it sounds).

Café des Musées

Le Nautique
The clubhouse of Monaco’s rowing club has million-dollar views and €10 lunches, served upstairs in a sunny linoleum-floored dining room overseen by manager Erminia, who’s like your favourite Italian aunt who shouts mangia, mangia! until you’ve cleaned your plate. It’s tricky to find, and ascending the stairs you’ll think you’re walking into an apartment building; look for the gym equipment at street level and the inconspicuous sign marked ‘Société Nautique Fédération Monégasque Sport Avion Snack Bar’. Hurry: it’s slated for demolition in 2013.
