Le Club 55 Saint Tropez

Le Club 55 is on Bd Patch in Ramatuelle. It is a beachfront Mediterranean restaurant and bar that pairs a seafood-focused menu with an open-air view of the water.

Most beach clubs on this stretch lean into the volume of the crowd, but this one relies on the rhythm of its own history. The service is busier and less formal than at the newer, flashier spots nearby, which trade on velvet ropes rather than the straightforward appeal of salt air and linen service. If the neighbors are chasing the next trend in house music, this place prefers to rely on the simple consistency of the Mediterranean plates. It is a louder, more crowded experience than the uninitiated might expect, yet it feels like the only venue on the bay that knows exactly what it is.
