Le Club 55
What started out as a simple canteen for the crew of And God Created Woman in the 1950s is now the hippest joint on the beach. Dine at tightly packed tables beneath sails strung from trees, drink from plump white sofas on the sand, and pay to be a beach bum on a white cushioned mattress beneath umbrella or hip paillote (a smart straw shack) on the designer beach. Rumbling tummies with no reservation can opt for a salad or sandwich at the twig-topped beach bar nearer the water.

Le Sporting
There’s a bit of everything on the menu at always-packed Le Sporting, but the speciality is hamburger topped with foie gras and morel cream sauce (surprisingly great, if gut-busting). The Brittany-born owner also serves perfect buckwheat crêpes, honest lunch deals, and a simple salad and croque monsieur (open-faced grilled cheese with béchamel sauce). Drawback: cigarette smoke, especially near the open storefront. Reservations essential.

Chez Fuchs
This casual, unpretentious bar-restaurant is a truly authentic family-run affair where noisy, happy Tropeziens hang out. It's notable for the massive range of cigars it sells, and for its carefully prepared traditional dishes: stuffed courgettes, artichokes à la barigoule (traditional Provençal dish of artichokes braised in a tangy white wine broth) and seafood. It positively heaves - book ahead.

Auberge de l’Oumède
Epicureans come from far and wide to savour Jean-Pierre Frezia’s divine Provençal cuisine in the idyllic setting of his hilltop mas (traditional Provençal stone building). With red mullet and spinach cannelloni, grilled catch of the day and sensational desserts, all accompanied by some very fine wines, dining at l’Oumède is a once-in-a-lifetime treat.

La Table du Marché
With sister 'market tables' in Alpine ski resort Avoriaz and Marrakech, this simple (for St-Trop) yet stylish bistro is something of a success story. Should you want to learn the secrets behind Christophe Leroy's market-driven cuisine, sign up for a session in his atelier de cuisine. Die-hard enthusiasts can also dine at Leroy's Les Moulins de Ramatuelle.

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.

Café Sud
French and Italian-inspired cuisine including all things fishy, a fabulous fish risotto and imaginative vegetarian dishes like veg salad with celery ice cream are the order of the day at this tasteful restaurant set in a vine-covered courtyard. Its other restaurant, La Plage des Jumeaux, offers white tablecloth dining on Pampelonne beach.

Brasserie des Arts
Wedged in a line-up of eating/drinking terraces jockeying for attention on St-Tropez’ people-watching square, BA, as it is known, is where the locals go. Out of season ask for a table at the back to experience the real vibe. Unless you’re feeling flush, skip à la carte: the fixed three-course menu is gourmet and excellent value.

Le Gorille
Another eminent portside bistro, the Gorilla gets it name from its previous owner, the short, muscular and apparently very hairy Henri Guérin! Stop here for a typically French/special/English breakfast or a post-clubbing croque monsieur (toasted ham-and-cheese sandwich) and fries.

Le Bistrot
A few doors down from Le Café, the Bistro offers all-day dining in a contemporary décor overlooking St-Tropez's busy central square. Fish and shellfish are a gastronomic feature, alongside straightforward hole-filling salads and tartines (toast topped with various toppings).

Sénequier
Sartre wrote parts of Les Chemins de la Liberté (Roads to Freedom) at this portside café and hot spot with boaties, in business since 1887. Flop around pillar box-red tables and directors chairs on its terrace and watch the world razz by. Breakfast is served from 07:30.

Spoon Byblos
Take your taste buds on a 'grand tour' of the world with Alain Ducasse, following the numbered columns on the menu horizontally for the chef's hot choice or zigzagging to create the culinary unthinkable. Décor is minimal, forks have four prongs, and the cuisine is beyond reproach.

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.

Grand Joseph
Black leather chairs, white tablecloths and steel touches create a cutting-edge feel to this drinking-dining space for St-Tropez beauties. Cuisine is French gastronomic, atmosphere is overwhelmingly lounge bar and 'two chefs, two menus' is the buzz.

Le Petit Charron
Sautéed veal with sage or pintade rôtie à la crème d'ail (in a garlicky cream sauce) topped off by fig tart are among the classical French dishes served with a refined flourish at this lovely old-town inn.

Auberge des Maures
The town’s oldest restaurant remains the locals’ choice for always-good, copious portions of earthy Provençal cooking, like daube or tapenade-stuffed lamb shoulder. Book a table (essential) on the leafy courtyard.

Kaï Largo
Flit to Asia at this oasis of exoticism on the sand. Cuisine is a tasty cross of Thai and Indonesian; July and August usher in a sushi bar and the fixtures 'n' fittings are predominantly rattan.

Salama
The smell of cooking wafting down the alley outside Salama is enough to lure you into this hip Moroccan den where St-Tropez's trendiest hang out over cosy exotic furnishings and fresh mint tea.

One of the few to open year-round, this contemporary beach club pampers guests who pay for massages, manicures and other Zen relaxants. Cuisine is typically Mediterranean.

Favoured by dance-on-the-bar celebs (ie Paris Hilton and Pamela Anderson) who want to be seen. The deafening scene ends at midnight.
