Overview

Dining The guide was updated: 2025-03-18

In Provence, a stroll through the hills or past fountains offers a taste of what’s to come in the restaurants — the scents of thyme, rosemary, and fresh vegetables in olive oil lingering in the air. The food is often simple but satisfying: tapenade on crusty bread, a glass of chilled rosé, and marinated grilled peppers are enough to make any visitor feel spoiled. Dining al fresco beside a fountain, under the shade of plane trees in the heart of Toulon, is an experience that captures the city’s charm.
