Here we go. The review I never thought I'd write. The review for the best restaurant I've ever…read moreeaten at in my life. My father bought a house in France almost ten years ago. He was inspired, in part, by Peter Mayle who wrote A Year In Provence. In among his many books, he mentions Auberge de la Mole as one of the places he loves. Therefore, my dad insisted on taking us. I couldn't believe that La Mole is a one stoplight town, almost impossible to find in Provence. I also couldn't believe how easy and quick it was to get seated here on a warm summer night during tourist season. The restaurant itself is completely unassuming. From the outside, it looks no different than a big brasserie. The chairs are plastic patio chairs. The awning is a tacky blue and there's a gas pump just outside of the restaurant because it used to be a filling station. However, to say this place is incredible would be an understatement. To say it isn't as close to perfect as a restaurant could get would also be wrong. Auberge de la Mole excels on every level. It's a family-run restaurant. It's an auberge (in this case, similar to an inn). The waitstaff, the cooks, the barmen are all members of the same family. They were extremely kind and the service was excellent. The way this meal works It's a feast. You only choose two dishes, the starter, and the main course. The rest of the courses are a wide assortment of different dishes that you can pick or choose from. The cheeses, the breads, the pates/foies, the desserts are all brought out in huge trays from which you can pick and eat your fill for as long as you'd like. The main dishes were of course to die for. They are all incredible and it is a feast fit for a king. The ingredients are fresh off the farm, the dishes are perfectly cooked, every bite melts away in your mouth and you find yourself unable to stop eating. You sit there for hours and you eat. It's not a dinner, it's a comprehensive dining experience. Moderation is key at this place. Because it is essentially set up as all you can eat, you need to practice self-control. You've never had better food in your entire life, so it's tough not to want to eat as much of everything as possible. However, not having known how much food there would be, we ate too much too early. But this was a lesson learned. I can't wait to go back with some friends this summer, and once again eat the most incredible meal of my life. Note: It is cash-only, so come prepared.

The best place for original Provençal cuisine!!!!! It is a nice restaurant not far from St. Tropez…read more You can sit at the lovely terrace or inside. The service is outstanding - of course!! We had a lot of great evenings there. The first course 5 different pastry with mixed pickles and delicious roasted bread. For the second course you have the choice between 4 or 5 dishes. My favourite are definitely the frogs' leg's. The main course will be served with a wonderful potato bake. You have again the choice between beef ( Filet natural or with perigord truffle) and canard. I always take the beef perigord - it is the best filet I've ever eat!! Great!! Now the cheeseboard follows - only one thing to say: YUMMY!!! The appletarte with vanilla ice cream is just as great as all the other courses. But than follows the dessert : Mousse au chocolat, crème caramel, pears in red wine and plums in red wine!!! Delicious!!!! You will be addicted! You want to come back as soon as possible!!

Be wary reservations are hard and a bit pretentious! Emailed for a reservation and received a…read more"thanks for your email" but an obvious non-answer, arrived the next day and asked again to be told nothing available or long waits for walk ins. After we shopped at Dior, bought a bag, and asked with shopping bag in hand, the host went to get the manager and we were told we could have a 4pm reservation for set price afternoon tea. If you call/email weeks or months in advance you'll probably have an easier time. Regardless, I knew it'd be like that and went mostly for the vibe/picture moments I could have. It's 55€/pp for 4 small desserts: a macaron, madeline, chocolate, and rose cream sweet, a drink of choice, and a dessert of choice (cream puffs or raspberry cake). All were great! It's definitely expensive for what it is but if you take into account the experience and ambiance, and you really like Dior, I think it's worth it.

I made reservations about a month and a half ahead of time because this place is quite popular. When I got there however they didn't have record of my reservation. You can only make reservations over the phone and you don't receive a confirmation. Luckily the host was super nice and she had a table for us anyway. While we waited to be seated, my friend checked out the inside of the store. They have some stairs leading up to it and a nice seating area up there to wait. She said the inside was gorgeous with different rooms that looked like a home. Many say that you are going for the ambiance and that the food is whatever, but I strongly disagree. I had a club sandwich and it was the best I've ever had. It came with a side of French fries and the fanciest little glass jars of condiments! They were tiny and personal so it was a super cute touch. Some of the food also comes with the Dior logo on it somehow, but not everything. My cappuccino had a Dior cinnamon topping and it looked so cool, I didn't want to drink it. I didn't get a chance to try drinks but everything else was delicious. Excellent service as well.

We decided to try this place based on Yelp reviews and were driving in from Port Grimaud…read more Unfortunately, this restaurant isn't on a street accessible by car and Google maps brought us to 2 different places, neither of which was correct! We finally found the place by asking locals in the area. There are a lot of stairs required to reach the restaurant so it's definitely not accessible or stroller friendly, however we decided to lug the stroller up so we could enjoy the meal. Once we finally found the place, it definitely did not disappoint. The food was stellar, as was the view and atmosphere. I had scallops and my husband had the fillet of beef. Our server, Caroline, was outstanding and super accommodating! One of the reviewers commented on portion size - I'd say the portion size was too small for me. I ended up getting having another dinner on the resort later that evening. P.S. Yelp rated this place $$, but I'd rated it pricier than that. A pop alone was 5 euros!

Le Club has a huge reputation to live up to, so I was honestly a little surprised and let down when…read morewe visited. From A-list celebrities to young and wealthy business owners, Le Club attracts an elite crowd, so I expected the food and and service to be on point. There wasn't anything I would categorize as bad but nothing stood out as exceptional or even great from a food or service perspective. Le Club is right off the beach, so our group headed out for a quick dip in the ocean after brunch. The beach area is really only meant for those who intend to pay for loungers or daybeds, as our group immediately got scolded for setting our things down on the sand. This felt very strange after just spending quite a bit at the restaurant. There's a small boutique between the restaurant and the beach club area, which had some very cute items. I bought a beauitful dress, which I loved finding there. It was wrapped up in a nondescript bag though, which I found odd. A branded tote bag, even for a charge seems much more fitting for this type of boutique. Overall I probably would not opt to visit Le Club again. Although our group did have a good time, it's an over-priced sub-par experience, and there are better day club offerings in the area.
