Restaurant in Gassin, France
Michelin-recognised Mediterranean above Saint-Tropez.
Le Belrose holds a Michelin Plate for 2024 and 2025, making it the most credible formal dining option in Gassin. The Mediterranean menu and Grande Bastide setting work particularly well for private and group dinners at the €€€€ tier. Booking is relatively straightforward for the area — an advantage in a peninsula that fills fast through summer.
Imagine arriving at a bastide above the Gulf of Saint-Tropez as the evening light softens across the Var coastline. It is a setting that could make almost any meal feel significant. The question, as always, is whether the kitchen earns that setting. At Le Belrose, the answer is a qualified yes: a back-to-back Michelin Plate in 2024 and 2025 tells you the cooking meets a consistent standard, and the Mediterranean menu is well-suited to the Provençal surroundings. For a first-timer choosing between the dining options in Gassin and the wider Saint-Tropez peninsula, Le Belrose is a reliable choice at the €€€€ price tier — particularly if you are planning a private or group dinner where setting and service reliability matter as much as plate-level creativity.
The Michelin Plate — awarded in both 2024 and 2025 , signals cooking that Michelin inspectors consider worth a visit, with good ingredients handled with care. This is not the same as a star, and it is worth being clear-eyed about that distinction. A Michelin Plate means you should expect a competent, enjoyable meal at a restaurant that takes its food seriously. At €€€€ pricing, that competence needs to feel earned across every course, and the Mediterranean format , which on the Côte d'Azur typically means fresh fish, local produce, and sun-driven flavour profiles , plays to the region's natural strengths.
The atmosphere at Le Belrose leans toward composed rather than energetic. The mood here is one of settled occasion dining: quieter than a Saint-Tropez port restaurant buzzing through the summer, more formal in register, and calibrated for conversations that matter. If you are eating with a group and want a room that does not require raised voices, the ambient energy here works in your favour. For solo travellers or couples who want a livelier room, the energy is restrained enough that it might read as subdued on a quieter weeknight.
For groups planning a private dining experience in the Gassin area, Le Belrose is one of the stronger options at this price point. The Grande Bastide setting , a classic Provençal property on the Boulevard des Crêtes , provides the kind of architectural framing that makes a private dinner feel considered rather than arbitrary. The Mediterranean menu, with its broad appeal to a range of palates, reduces the friction that can come with more polarising tasting menus when you are coordinating preferences across a larger group.
If your group includes guests who prioritise setting, service, and the occasion over avant-garde cooking, Le Belrose is a better fit than more experimental kitchens on the peninsula. It is not the place to go if someone in your group wants to be challenged plate by plate; it is the place to go if you want everyone to leave satisfied and the evening to feel well-organised. For private dining on the Côte d'Azur at €€€€, that consistency is not a small thing.
Booking is rated Easy, which is meaningful in a region where high-season demand (July and August in particular) tightens availability across all serious restaurants. Getting a table here should not require the three-to-four week advance planning that more starred venues on the peninsula demand, but booking ahead for summer dinners and special occasions is still advisable.
Gassin sits at the leading of the peninsula above Saint-Tropez, and its restaurant options are more limited than the port town below. [Bello Visto](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/bello-visto-gassin-restaurant) and [La Verdoyante](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/la-verdoyante-gassin-restaurant) are the other options of note in the village, both operating at a more casual register. For a formal dinner with Michelin recognition, Le Belrose is the clear choice within Gassin itself.
If you are willing to travel slightly further for the same price tier, the Saint-Tropez area offers [Arnaud Donckele & Maxime Frédéric at Louis Vuitton](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/arnaud-donckele-maxime-frdric-at-louis-vuitton-saint-tropez-restaurant) for a more destination-level experience, and further afield in the South of France, [Mirazur in Menton](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/mirazur-menton-restaurant) and [AM par Alexandre Mazzia in Marseille](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/am-par-alexandre-mazzia-marseille-restaurant) represent the region's upper end. For fine dining benchmarks elsewhere in France, venues like [Flocons de Sel in Megève](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/flocons-de-sel-megve-restaurant), [Auberge de l'Ill in Illhaeusern](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/auberge-de-lill-illhaeusern-restaurant), [Bras in Laguiole](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/bras-laguiole-restaurant), [Troisgros - Le Bois sans Feuilles in Ouches](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/troisgros-le-bois-sans-feuilles-ouches-restaurant), [Paul Bocuse - L'Auberge du Pont de Collonges](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/paul-bocuse-lauberge-du-pont-de-collonges-collonges-au-mont-dor-restaurant), and [Assiette Champenoise in Reims](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/assiette-champenoise-reims-restaurant) provide useful context for where Michelin Plate recognition sits in the broader French fine dining hierarchy.

Yes, with the right expectations. The Michelin Plate recognition, €€€€ price tier, and Grande Bastide setting combine to make this a credible choice for anniversary dinners, milestone birthdays, or a group celebration on the Saint-Tropez peninsula. It is better suited to occasions where a settled, composed atmosphere is the goal than ones where a theatrical or highly creative tasting menu is the draw. If you want the kitchen to genuinely surprise you course by course, look at [Arnaud Donckele & Maxime Frédéric at Louis Vuitton in Saint-Tropez](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/arnaud-donckele-maxime-frdric-at-louis-vuitton-saint-tropez-restaurant) or [Mirazur in Menton](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/mirazur-menton-restaurant) instead.
Mediterranean menus generally accommodate a wide range of dietary needs , fish, vegetables, and plant-forward dishes are typical at this price tier. That said, specific menu details and dietary accommodation policies are not in our current records. Contact the venue directly before booking, especially for serious allergies or vegan requirements. At €€€€, you should expect the kitchen to engage with restrictions as a matter of course, but confirm rather than assume.
No dress code is listed in our records, but at €€€€ with Michelin recognition on the Côte d'Azur, smart casual is a reasonable baseline. In summer on the peninsula, linen and tailored resort wear fit the context. Showing up in beachwear would be out of place; a jacket for men is unlikely to be required but would not be out of register. When in doubt, err toward smart rather than relaxed.
The venue is a Provençal bastide above Gassin with a Mediterranean menu and two consecutive Michelin Plates. The setting is the first thing that will land , this is not a town-centre restaurant. The cooking is consistent rather than experimental. Booking is Easy relative to the area, but summer on the peninsula is high season and tables fill. Come with an appetite for a composed, occasion-appropriate dinner rather than a casual evening, and you will find the experience well-matched to the price. See [our full Gassin restaurants guide](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/gassin) for other options in the area.
At €€€€, Le Belrose is priced at the top tier for the Gassin area. The Michelin Plate , held for two consecutive years , provides a baseline assurance that the cooking justifies the category. Whether it justifies the leading price tier specifically depends on what you are comparing it against: within Gassin, it is the most serious kitchen available. Against starred venues elsewhere on the Côte d'Azur or in Provence, it sits at a different level. If you are in Gassin and want a formal dinner with Michelin credibility, the value case is clear. If you are driving to the area specifically for the meal, the comparison to [Mirazur](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/mirazur-menton-restaurant) or [AM par Alexandre Mazzia](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/am-par-alexandre-mazzia-marseille-restaurant) is worth making first.
Tasting menu availability and format are not confirmed in our current data. At €€€€ with a Mediterranean focus, a tasting menu format is plausible, but we cannot confirm it exists or detail its current structure. Contact the venue directly for menu format and pricing before deciding. If a tasting menu is available, the Michelin Plate credential suggests the kitchen can carry a multi-course format with competence; whether the concept is built for that format versus à la carte is worth clarifying.
Within Gassin, [Bello Visto](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/bello-visto-gassin-restaurant) and [La Verdoyante](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/la-verdoyante-gassin-restaurant) are the main alternatives, both at a more casual price point and register. For the same €€€€ tier on the wider peninsula, [Arnaud Donckele & Maxime Frédéric at Louis Vuitton in Saint-Tropez](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/arnaud-donckele-maxime-frdric-at-louis-vuitton-saint-tropez-restaurant) is the most ambitious kitchen nearby. Further afield in the South of France, [Mirazur in Menton](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/mirazur-menton-restaurant) and [AM par Alexandre Mazzia in Marseille](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/am-par-alexandre-mazzia-marseille-restaurant) set the regional benchmark at the starred level. Also consider [La Brezza in Ascona](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/la-brezza-ascona-restaurant) for comparable Mediterranean cuisine across the border in Switzerland.
Bar seating availability is not confirmed in our current records. As a formal Michelin-recognised restaurant in a bastide property, the primary experience is table dining. If a bar or terrace option exists, it is not documented here. Contact the venue directly to ask about informal seating options before planning your visit around that format.

Comparing your options in Gassin for this tier.
Yes, with caveats. The €€€€ price tier and two consecutive Michelin Plate awards (2024, 2025) make it a credible choice for a birthday dinner or anniversary above the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. The setting at La Grande Bastide gives it a sense of occasion that the port restaurants below in Saint-Tropez rarely match at this level. Just confirm your reservation is solid — the Gassin area has limited alternatives if something goes wrong on the night.
This is not confirmed in available venue data, so check the venue's official channels before booking. At the €€€€ price point with a Michelin Plate, most kitchens at this level expect and accommodate dietary requests — but do not assume: call or email in advance and confirm what is possible rather than raising it on arrival.
The venue is set within a bastide property above Saint-Tropez at the €€€€ tier, which points toward smart dress as a reasonable expectation. The Côte d'Azur dining culture generally skews relaxed-elegant in summer rather than formal — linen and smart separates fit the context. Trainers and beachwear would be out of place; a jacket for men is sensible without being obligatory.
Le Belrose sits at La Grande Bastide on Boulevard des Crêtes in Gassin, above the Saint-Tropez peninsula — you will need a car or taxi, as it is not walkable from the port. The Michelin Plate (2024 and 2025) signals quality ingredients handled with care, not a three-star tasting-menu marathon. At €€€€, budget accordingly and book ahead: Gassin has few options at this standard, so walk-in availability is unlikely during the summer season.
At €€€€ with a Michelin Plate rather than a star, you are paying partly for the location above the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, not just the cooking. That is a reasonable trade-off for a special meal in the area, but if pure culinary value per euro is your priority, you may find starred restaurants elsewhere in Provence deliver more on the plate for comparable spend. If the setting and occasion matter as much as the food, the price holds up.
Tasting menu specifics are not confirmed in the available venue data, so check directly with the restaurant for current format and pricing. What the 2025 Michelin Plate does confirm is that the kitchen is producing food inspectors consider worth a detour — which is a reasonable baseline for committing to a longer format. At €€€€, a tasting menu here will be a significant spend; verify what is included before booking.
Bello Visto in Gassin is the most direct local comparison at a similar position above Saint-Tropez. For higher culinary ambition in the region, Mirazur in Menton holds three Michelin stars and sets the benchmark for Mediterranean fine dining on the French Riviera, though it requires a separate trip. If you are basing yourself in Saint-Tropez, port-side options exist at lower price points, but none carry the same Michelin recognition as Le Belrose in the immediate Gassin area.
Keep this venue in your Pearl passport, rate it after you visit, and track it alongside every other place you collect.
