Restaurant in Saint Tropez, France
Maison Hospitality Table
Dior Des Lices brings one of fashion's most recognisable names to a well-positioned Saint-Tropez address near the Place des Lices. Booking is straightforward by local standards, making it a practical choice for food and wine enthusiasts who want atmosphere with less port-side noise. Confirm pricing and menu details directly before you go, as public information is limited.
Dior Des Lices is worth knowing about if you are spending time in Saint-Tropez and want a dining address that carries some weight behind the name. Located at 13 Rue François Sibilli, it sits close to the Place des Lices, the square that anchors the town's slower, more local rhythm. Booking is direct by Saint-Tropez standards, which puts it ahead of several peers for spontaneous planners. The caveat: specific menu, pricing, and wine program details are not publicly confirmed at time of writing, so treat this as a reconnaissance profile rather than a full endorsement.

The Dior name attached to a restaurant address in Saint-Tropez is not incidental. Christian Dior had a documented connection to the town, and the Dior brand has long used the Côte d'Azur as part of its creative and cultural identity. A restaurant bearing that name in this location carries expectations around presentation and atmosphere that go beyond what a typical bistro table delivers. Whether the kitchen matches that promise is the question a visit answers, and it is the right question to bring with you.
Saint-Tropez dining sits in a specific tension: the town draws visitors who want to feel the South of France at its most generous, and it also draws visitors who want to be seen. Dior Des Lices, by address and association, positions itself toward the former. The Place des Lices end of town is where pétanque still gets played on Tuesday and Saturday mornings at the market, and the surrounding streets carry less of the port's performative energy. For a food and wine enthusiast, that location is a genuine advantage.
On the wine side, Provence is one of the most food-versatile wine regions in France. Rosé from estates like Château Miraval, Domaines Ott, and Minuty is the default pairing in Saint-Tropez, and any serious restaurant in the region should be drawing on that depth rather than offering a generic list. If Dior Des Lices applies the same attention to its wine selection as its brand does to material quality, the list should be worth examining. That said, confirm specifics when you book. For broader context on Provence wine, our full Saint Tropez wineries guide covers the regional producers worth knowing.
For comparison reference points across French fine dining, Mirazur in Menton and Flocons de Sel in Megève represent what the French Riviera and Alpine corridors can produce at their ceiling. Dior Des Lices is operating in a different register — seasonal resort dining rather than destination gastronomy — but it is useful to know where the regional benchmark sits when calibrating expectations.
The address is 13 Rue François Sibilli, 83990 Saint-Tropez. Booking is rated easy, which in high-season Saint-Tropez (July and August) still means contacting ahead rather than walking in and expecting a table at peak hours. Shoulder season , late May through June, and September , gives you more flexibility and a better experience of the town overall. No confirmed pricing, hours, or dress code data is available in the current record; confirm these directly when reserving. For accommodation context around your visit, our full Saint Tropez hotels guide covers where to stay. For pre or post-dinner options, our full Saint Tropez bars guide and our full Saint Tropez experiences guide are worth checking.
No confirmed dress code is on record, but the Dior association and Saint-Tropez setting both suggest smart-casual at minimum. In this town during summer, linen and well-cut resort wear is the local standard at venues above the casual end. Arriving underdressed relative to the room is a common mistake in Saint-Tropez; err on the side of considered rather than relaxed.
The name and location make it a credible choice for a celebratory meal. The Place des Lices area is less chaotic than the port, which helps if you want a dinner that stays focused on conversation rather than spectacle. For a high-stakes occasion where you need a confirmed track record, Le Girelier has a longer public history in the town. That said, if the Dior connection is part of what makes the occasion feel right, book it and confirm the menu format in advance.
Saint-Tropez is not a city built for solo dining in the traditional sense, but the Place des Lices neighbourhood is more comfortable than the port for eating alone. If you are a wine and food traveller who wants to spend time with a serious list and observe the room, a solo seat here is a reasonable call. Confirm whether counter or bar seating is available when you book, as that format suits solo visits better than a full table for one.
The Dior name sets expectations around presentation and atmosphere, not just the food. Come with questions about the wine list: Provence rosé is the obvious play, but a restaurant at this level should have depth beyond the obvious choices. Saint-Tropez in peak season (July–August) means the town is at capacity; book ahead even if availability is rated easy, and plan to arrive on time. For a first visit to Saint-Tropez dining more broadly, our full Saint Tropez restaurants guide gives you the full picture of what the town offers.
See the comparison section above for the full breakdown. Short version: Café des Arts is the go-to for a more classic brasserie feel with a longer local history. Chez Madeleine suits those who want something more personal and less branded. Le Bistro de la Bastide is worth considering if you want something slightly outside the town centre with a more relaxed setting. Gandhi is the option if you want to step away from French and Provençal entirely.
Booking difficulty is rated easy, but that rating applies in normal conditions. July and August in Saint-Tropez are not normal conditions for any restaurant, and the Dior name adds a draw that goes beyond food-focused visitors. Book at least one to two weeks out during high season, and two to three days ahead in May, June, or September. Same-day availability is possible in the shoulder season but should not be assumed.
No confirmed data on dietary accommodation is available. French kitchens in this category generally handle vegetarian requests without difficulty; stricter requirements (gluten-free, vegan, severe allergies) should be raised directly when booking rather than assumed. Contact the restaurant before arrival if dietary needs are a deciding factor for your group.
