Quai Raphaël

Quai Raphaël is an address we recommend. In search of authenticity and southern flavours, the restaurant on the Santa Lucia harbour, inside the Best Western Plus La Marina hotel, serves fragrant, refined, flavourful and generous cuisine. Enjoy the terrace on the quay at sunset and savour your meal in the calm and tranquillity of a summer evening. Attentive, flawless service will make this pleasant moment even better.

Les Voiles Saint-Raphaël

Les Voiles Saint-Raphaël: on the marina, not far from the harbour master's office, you'll want to do anything… except set sail! This friendly seafood bistro takes you on a gourmet voyage. At the helm, captain Arnaud Mené cooks market-fresh cuisine that is as carefully made as it is fragrant, like the bluefin tuna tartare with mango rougail, grilled wild fish, or the delicious rum baba… which have become signature dishes. Relaxed service and low prices complete the picture. Simplicity and good food: a winning formula.

Cap Santa Lucia

Cap Santa Lucia: looking for a gourmet touch for meals with friends or family in Saint-Raphaël? On the Santa Lucia harbour in Saint-Raphaël, the Cap Santa Lucia restaurant welcomes you in an elegant, warm setting. You can enjoy refined dishes made only with fresh, high-quality produce. Both refined and inventive, the cuisine at Cap Santa Lucia is sure to delight your taste buds. With a constant focus on the quality and freshness of its dishes, the restaurant's menu evolves and changes regularly. Its modern yet restful décor guarantees a truly relaxing moment over lunch or dinner, and the soft lighting makes it an ideal setting for romantic dinners. The team's professionalism and warm welcome will win you over. Far from the noise of the town, Cap Santa Lucia suits all ages and offers undeniable value for money.

La Cœlacanthe

La Cœlacanthe: this restaurant on the harbour, facing the boats, remains one of the best places to enjoy quality seafood made with extremely fresh produce: seafood, shellfish, fish, sea bass stuffed with scallops, pan-fried seafood with penne rigate, razor clams and scallops, cod tagine, bouillabaisse (even a mini version for one) and a few dishes for die-hard meat lovers!

La Brasserie Tradition et Gourmandise

La Brasserie Tradition et Gourmandise is at 4 avenue de Valescure, on the corner of rue Marius-Allongue. In a friendly, family atmosphere, it serves market-fresh, seasonal cuisine made with local produce.

La Table

La Table is at 47 rue Thiers. Near the harbour, it is a modern, friendly bistro: simple and on-trend, with light wooden tables and a bright open space. On Frédéric Allègre's plates, traditional classics are reworked with a touch of originality, both in the cooking and in the presentation. The lunch menu is a good option, with risotto, beef carpaccio, veal paupiette, fish skewer, crème brûlée and chocolate mousse.

Chez Gaston

Chez Gaston, at 36 rue Charabois in Saint-Raphaël, in a street tucked away behind the town hall, has kept its authentic bistro character and matching décor since 2013. The saga of hearty bistro dishes continues: the famous Haut-Var andouillette from the Autran artisan charcuterie in Callian with wholegrain mustard, oven-baked bone marrow with Bordelaise toast soldiers, Charolais beef fillet with Bordelaise sauce and home-made chips, a mini roast of veal pan-fried with chanterelles and baby potatoes, all washed down with good wines chosen from some forty references from many regions of France. And for a more chic bistro touch, why not choose from the menu, which changes every 3 months, a fresh lobster minestrone with rocket pistou?

La Canne à Sucre

La Canne à Sucre, at 2 place Amiral Ortoli on the Santa Lucia harbour, invites you to taste traditional, generous cuisine that sails between Provence and Armenia through a few specialities. Discover the giant Armenian-style beef fillet skewer, royal sea bream cooked on the plancha in its own juices, roast lobster from Brittany (Vivier) with Provençal butter, and home-made pastries! Dish of the day, set menus, à la carte and the suggestions board will delight you. Head chef Sophie Marandjian and the whole team invite you to enjoy a moment of pure pleasure on a sunny terrace overlooking the harbour.

Le Charivari

Le Charivari is a lovely address. The restaurant is at the entrance to Agay, at 170 rue de l'Agay. In a pleasant, warm setting with a panoramic view of the sea and the red rocks of the Esterel, Le Charivari offers seasonal dishes as well as innovative culinary ideas.

Le Sud

Le Sud, at 16 boulevard Darby in Saint-Raphaël, is a good restaurant. It serves classic, light southern cuisine full of sunshine: traditional dishes alongside revisited local recipes. A French-inspired restaurant following the seasons, with a bar serving cocktails and tapas. A green haven in the heart of the golf courses, far from the bustle of the town. Friendly, relaxed atmosphere.
