Fresh seafood!!! Oyster, shrimp, escargot and ceviche were all very fresh and delicious. The shrimp was sweet with a taste of the ocean. The oysters were creamy and salty.

The best seafood in all of Saint Tropez (maybe even all of France). An unassuming stand in a small plaza just off the port with the most delicious oysters, shrimp and wine. The staff is so friendly and kind, and the setting is absolutely beautiful. It is a must visit while here.

A hidden gem that we stumbled across. While walking around Saint Tropez we came across this cute outdoor seating area. Oysters and beers what better combination

Definitely the place in town for fresh oysters. You can choose about 6 different types by half a dozen or a dozen. They also offer other seafood (shrimp, escargots, ceviche of sea bream and/or salmon), a selection of nice wines and champagne. There’s also some charcuterie as supply lasts. Prices are very reasonable. During the day, there’s umbrellas to provide some shade during the day. It’s always packed, but not that you cannot enjoy; bar tables are spaced apart sufficiently. There’s nice background music and the place has an overall easygoing atmosphere.

Good street seafood place near the fresh fish stall in St. Tropez. Oyester, prawns and boulot for breakfast are nice. Should get a few more Champagne options, I guess

Fresh oyster, fresh shrimp, with good wine! Cost effectiveness and worthy! As I mentioned, oyster and fresh shrimp are highly recommended. It's a truly local taste which hiding in the lane behind the traditional building. While you are enjoying the food you can also enjoy the historical environment. You do not need to looking for a high class of seafood restaurant and this is the one you need.

If you are looking for the freshest and best seafood come here!! Very very authentic and honest! Great „local“ feeling. If you are looking for a „instagram“ spot, stay away and dont destroy this beautiful OG place. cheers
