Just steps from the Bay of Canebiers, Restaurant Colette is tucked away like a well-kept secret. Here, palm trees sway gently in the breeze, the evening light dances on the pool’s surface, and the bustle of Saint-Tropez feels like a world away. Yet this place carries within it the very soul of the village – a blend of elegance and the art of living.
The Legacy of a Free-Spirited Woman
In the mid-1920s, writer Colette discovered Saint-Tropez, its authenticity, and its unique light. At La Treille Muscate, a home neighbouring the site of today’s Hôtel Sezz, she would welcome the great figures of her time beneath the wisteria, sharing simple dishes made with vegetables from her garden. Free-spirited and daring, the second woman ever to join the Académie Goncourt, she cultivated a way of life built on sharing, nature, and pleasure. Today,
Restaurant Colette proudly embraces that same spirit of hospitality and freedom.
Philippe Colinet’s Vision
At the helm, Chef Philippe Colinet carries this philosophy forward. Inspired by the Mediterranean, its seasons, and its local producers, he crafts plates where each ingredient finds its rightful place. His cuisine blends precision with emotion, innovation with sincerity. Dining at Colette means tasting the sea and the land in their purest form, while enjoying a moment suspended in time. Meals unfold to the whisper of the breeze, beneath a star-studded sky, with that rare sensation of being somewhere else while entirely in Saint-Tropez.
Balancing literary heritage with culinary creation, Colette is far more than a fine-dining restaurant – it is an experience that connects past and present, memory and the moment. You come here to savour, but also to feel – the softness of a summer evening, the aroma rising from a dish, the discreet charm of attentive service.
