Oops! I think this may come out in the wrong category..I do apologise…read more This cafe is not a five star gourmet restaurant, but it does do great food, as well as coffees and alcohol at any time. It is the bottom half of a typical French house; long windows with shutters and juliet balconies. It's part of a terrace on the waterfront, house and cafes all jumbled as only the French can do. Like the rest of village, the cafe appears sleepy, with perhaps a couple of patrons sitting in the sun with a coffee or carafe of wine. Inside, it is surprisingly cool and although simply furnished, you some how fel at ease. The barman will greet you in French - Var, similar to Marseillase. Talking liking wide mouthed frogs (no pun intended but please enjoy the humour). A pleasant man, he is not insulted by any mistakes you may make in his language and will patiently repeat his dialect until you understand. The food here is great. A small menu, but sooo beautifully done. Once, I was here while expecting my daughter, and once I had tried the moules, I was a goner. Every where we went, I had moules nearly every time! (The French think we are quite mad, avoiding certain food during pregnancy.) So here is a great place to watch the marina, the ferry come and go, and the occasional child being called to.

Not just your usual sports bar! A friend and I had a wonderful lunch there last week. I had a very…read morenice luncheon salad while my friend had ravioli stuffed with goat cheese in a light tomato sauce with shallots. The ravioli won the day! They were also garnished with cherry tomatoes that had been either flash roasted or sauteed and glazed with something neither of us could quite put our finger on. It wasn't the usual balsamic or honey. It was an incredible sweet/savory flavor that we'll never forget. We wanted to order up just a bowl of just those cherry tomatoes. Service was wonderful. Our waitress was as friendly as could be. Guys, be sure to check out the men's room. Mathieu Bastareaud will be giggling at you.

It's brand new and kicks ass (just like its team :P ) It's clean, trendy (go check out the bathrooms, you'll feel as though you are in a nightclub!), the waiters are rugbymen-like and very friendly, and it's not out of price. So if you happen to be shopping at Mayol (Toulon's main mall), go upstairs and walk outside where all the cafés are, Place Besagne, and have a "Noisette", it's my favorite, and it's good! Plus you'll be supporting a good cause, France's best rugby team!! CHEERS!! Que puis-je rajouter? Le café Place Besagne est nickel, il claque a 20 lieus et même sous les mers. Tout y est, voilá donc un 5 étoiles sans commentaire. Si vous êtes au centre Mayol, le seul endroit a cotoyer autour d'un bon Noisette bien chaud ;) VIVE LE RCT
