On the terrace overlooking the sea or in the dining room, Chef Simon Pinault offers Mediterranean cuisine based on local vegetables, fresh fish du jour, and market produce. A gastronomy that is both elegant and inventive, in the image of La Ponche. In the evening, the restaurant highlights its distinguished charm: cotton tablecloths and subdued lighting.
From 7:30 to 10:30 a.m., breakfast, imagined by our chef, is served wherever you wish — in your room, on the terrace, or in the dining room. On the menu, a continental selection with freshly pressed fruit juices, a hot beverage, a basket of breads and pastries, and a fruit salad. For a more indulgent start, let yourself be tempted by avocado toasts, red fruit granola, or eggs Benedict. And if the evening stretched on a little too long, our “Detox” or “Energy” juices will gently ease you into the morning.
The terrace at La Ponche is one of Saint-Tropez's must-sees. After an invigorating dip in the creek, you can sit down to a meal. In the sun facing the sea, a fresh and light menu. Fish of the day accompanied by vegetables from our market gardeners, green courgette gazpacho, tartelette of brousse with Provençal herbs, fresh salad, and desserts with fruit from the market...
In the evening, the restaurant turns up the heat with delicate Mediterranean cuisine. In an elegant candlelit setting, Simon Pinault and his team create more personal dishes: rock fish soup, Grilled catch of the day, Provençal vegetables and sauces, beef fillet with chanterelle mushrooms, parmesan and wild mushroom risotto, and the iconic warm chocolate mousse with Fior di Latte ice cream.
The mythical bar Saint-Germain-des-Prés-la Ponche is back. After your first morning dip, the bar is open with a menu full of creations: Romy Schneider's grand Piscine, Brigitte Bardot's Love Me or Love Me Not, or Boris Vian's Froth on the Daydream. The soothing and friendly atmosphere invites you to settle down in the deep sofas or to continue a conversation at the bar. When the sun goes down, the elegant guests head for the bar. A gathering that sounds as a romantic or festive prelude to the best Tropezian nights. The ever-lasting Saint-Germain-des-Prés atmosphere floats in the air of that bar room where so many artists and talents have let their aperitifs linger until the wee hours of the morning...
If La Ponche awakens with the day, she also keeps watch through the night, with a room service menu designed for every craving. A glass to enjoy on the terrace, a few bites to share, or a late-night snack to prolong the celebration… at any hour, the spirit of La Ponche remains awake.
On the occasion of your outings, we can make you a tasty picnic. Gazpacho, hummus, Niçoise salad or burrata. A gourmet basket designed by our chef for a trip to the sea or inland.
