There's a bit of
everything on the menu at always-packed Le Sporting, but the speciality is hamburger
topped with
foie gras
(fattened goose liver) and morel cream sauce. The Brittany-born
owner also serves perfect buckwheat crêpes, honest lunch deals (€13), and a simple salad
and
croque monsieur
.
Auberge des Maures €€
( 04 94 97 01 50; 4 rue du Docteur Boutin; mains €31-39; dinner)
The town's old-
est restaurant remains the locals' choice for always-good, copious portions of earthy
Provençal cooking, like
daube
(braised beef stew) or tapenade-stuffed lamb shoulder.
Book a table (essential) on the leafy courtyard.

Wedged in
a line-up of eating/drinking terraces jockeying for attention on St-Tropez' people-watch-
ing square, BA, as it is known, is where the locals go. Out of season ask for a table at the
back to experience the real vibe. The fixed three-course gourmet menu is excellent value.

lunch & dinner Thu-Sun)
This traditional
maison de village
(old stone terraced house)
with coffee- coloured wooden shutters is an old-time favourite with locals. Its intimate in-
terior is as traditional as its French cuisine: think beef filet with truffles or duck.
