Gioia Saint Tropez

Gioia sits on the outskirts of the town centre, a ten-minute walk from the Port of Saint-Tropez, the Plage de la Ponche, and the Place des Lices. The menu focuses on Italian and Mediterranean seafood.

The room runs smart, feeling dressier than the casual bistros found closer to the water. While the central cafes thrive on the frantic pace of the port, Gioia chooses a slower rhythm that makes it the right pick for a focused meal rather than a quick drink. You come here to avoid the crush of the harbour front, opting for a quiet table that relies on its own steady pace rather than the spectacle of the docks.
