La Terrasse - Cheval Blanc St-Tropez.
Perched on the edge of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, La Terrasse serves as the relaxed, sun-drenched counterpart to the more formal dining at Cheval Blanc. Shaded by a canopy of century-old parasol pines, the restaurant occupies a prime waterfront position on Plage de la Bouillabaisse, offering a rare blend of Palace-level service and breezy, beachside ease. Chef Arnaud Donckele oversees a menu that highlights Provençal ingredients through precise, Mediterranean-focused dishes like grilled lobster with coral sabayon or seasonal tarts. While the Jean-Michel Wilmotte design lends the space a polished, contemporary feel, the atmosphere remains centered on the simple pleasure of a long lunch by the sea. It is a sophisticated pivot from the typical Riviera beach club, trading high-energy parties for quiet refinement and exceptional views of the bay.
