En vacances, nous sommes passer par Saint Tropez. Nous avons été conseiller de passer ici. Un vrai régal, cuisine excellente, un service de qualité, je recommande

Hi! So I actually We recently dined at Le Girelier, and while the food itself was commendable, the service left much to be desired—emotionally, logistically, and physically.

To begin with, the drink orders for two members of our party were incorrect. When the corrected beverages finally arrived—after what can only be described as a small eternity (approximately 10 minutes)—it felt less like a refreshment and more like a rescue mission.

As if that weren’t enough, a separate waiter attempted to serve a plate directly onto a table that already had a precariously balanced fork on it. Rather than adjusting the fork (as one might expect), he repeatedly attempted to land the plate on top of it, as though engaged in a gravity-defying experiment. A member of our party ultimately had to intervene and relocate the rogue utensil.

Meanwhile, I must note that I suffer from a medical condition—distal enthesopathy, a form of tendon inflammation in the foot. Despite this, another waiter (the third in what appeared to be an ever-rotating cast of chaotic characters) managed to step on my afflicted foot while failing to look where he was going, nearly colliding with my friend in the process. The incident left me hobbling through the remainder of my time in Saint-Tropez, eventually necessitating the use of a cast. In short: I arrived at the restaurant with a foot problem, and left with a personal vendetta.

To add insult to injury—quite literally—we were seated at one of the worst tables available, with a view that somehow managed to exclude both the ocean and the yachts, despite the restaurant’s optimal location. Several better-positioned tables remained mysteriously empty throughout our visit.

And to top it all off, the waitress overheard us discussing the service (albeit discreetly), and abruptly asked if there was a problem. Unfortunately, by that point, the problem had evolved far beyond the realm of correction. We were already psychologically—and orthopedically—wounded.

In summary: Le Girelier delivers quality cuisine, but the service could benefit from improved attentiveness, coordination, and perhaps a gentle reminder not to step on their guests.

Très bon restaurant proposant des options sans gluten. On m’a notamment proposé des pâtes sans gluten, ce que j’ai beaucoup apprécié. Service attentionné et plats de qualité. Je recommande.

Un moment d’exception au cœur de Saint-Tropez ! Le cadre est magnifique, le service impeccable et chaque plat, des entrées aux desserts, était un vrai régal. Mention spéciale pour les fruits de mer, d’une fraîcheur irréprochable, et le poisson parfaitement cuit. Un grand bravo à toute l’équipe pour cette belle expérience.

Petit bémol cependant : nous venons chaque année avec notre association sportive accompagnée d’enfants, et avec une addition dépassant les 1000 €, offrir les 4 cafés aurait été une attention appréciée pour marquer notre fidélité et conclure ce superbe repas sur une note encore plus chaleureuse.

An exceptional moment in the heart of Saint-Tropez! The setting is stunning, the service flawless, and every dish—from starters to dessert—was a real delight. Special mention for the seafood, which was incredibly fresh, and the perfectly cooked fish. A big thank you to the whole team for such a wonderful experience.

A small note, however: we come every year with our sports association and a group of children, and with a bill exceeding €1000, offering the 4 coffees would have been a kind gesture to acknowledge our loyalty and end the meal on an even warmer note.
