Palladio

About Palladio

Italian and Mediterranean cooking with a strong seafood lean sets the tone here, served across a single evening sitting from 7pm to 10:30pm, seven nights a week through the May-to-October season. The setting on Route de Tahiti, within the Château de La Messardière grounds, puts it slightly above the port bustle, and the mood follows: table service at an unhurried pace, lounge and chill house kept low enough to talk over, private dining available for groups who want the evening to themselves. Friday through Sunday are the busiest, when the mix of Saint-Tropez regulars and Western European visitors is at its thickest and booking ahead matters most. Smart casual covers it — this is the Côte d'Azur version, so linen and loafers rather than anything stiff. The $$$$ band reflects the address and the produce, and the crowd tends to sit in the 25-45 range.
