Les meilleurs restaurants en Var

06/07/2026: We came here while waiting for our train. What a pleasant surprise! The ingredients were fresh, and the main course and side dishes were delicious. As Asians, we also found the rice to be really very good, which is quite rare. The soup was also excellent. We were pleasantly surprised!

05/07/2026: I had booked a hotel near Austerlitz station and was looking forward to dining at L'Éclipse bistrot, which has high ratings from Japanese guests. However, despite the scorching heat and a temperature of 29°C at 9 PM, there was no air conditioning. I didn't want to endure the heat while eating dinner, so I went to this nearby restaurant with air conditioning and high ratings. I didn't encounter any Japanese staff, but considering the price, it wasn't bad for Japanese food in Europe. I enjoyed the yakisoba.

28/05/2026: On a weekend trip to Hyères with my little dog and a friend, I had the pleasure of dining at this lovely restaurant. The staff were incredibly professional, making me want to return, not to mention the simply divine dishes! Thank you for this wonderful experience! Go without hesitation; I can't give it more than 5 stars, which is a shame.

16/06/2026: A beautiful monument with an interesting history

12/06/2026: The Abbaye du Thoronet is a fascinating masterpiece of medieval architecture. Nestled in the wooded hills of the Var department in Provence (southern France), it is considered, along with the abbeys of Sénanque and Silvacane, one of the three famous Cistercian sisters of Provence ("Les trois sœurs provençales"). The Architecture: The Geometry of Silence Those entering the Abbaye du Thoronet will search in vain for opulent gold decorations or colorful stained-glass windows. The Cistercians made radical asceticism their duty. Pure Form: The beauty of the church derives purely from its proportions, perfect geometry, and precise stonemasonry. Light as Decoration: Since there are no wall decorations, sunlight becomes the central design element. Depending on the time of day, the incoming rays fundamentally change the atmosphere of the space. The Cloister: It is considered one of the oldest and best-preserved in Provence. Its heavy Romanesque arches enclose a courtyard that exudes absolute tranquility. The Magical Acoustics An absolute highlight of the abbey church is its echo. Due to the smooth, bare stone walls and the unique shape of the vault, the space has a reverberation time of approximately 10 to 12 seconds. Fun Fact: In the past, the monks were not allowed to speak in their daily lives. Their only form of expression was communal singing. The acoustics in the Thoronet forced the singers to sing extremely slowly and precisely – any wrong note would have mercilessly hung in the air for seconds. Even today, musicians from all over the world use this space for unique recordings. A Brief Look at History Founded around 1160: Construction began in the late 12th century. The monastery provided space for about 20 monks and several dozen lay brothers who worked the land. Decline and Rescue: During the French Revolution, the monastery was abandoned and fell into ruin. However, in the 19th century, it was rediscovered by the famous writer Prosper Mérimée (then a preservationist) and painstakingly restored. Inspiration for Modernism Hard to believe, but this medieval monastery has profoundly influenced modern architecture. The renowned architect Le Corbusier visited Thoronet extensively in the 1950s. He was deeply impressed by how so much emotion could be evoked from pure stone, light, and shadow. His famous Sainte-Marie de la Tourette complex is directly based on the impressions he gained at Thoronet. Conclusion: If you are ever in Provence, the Abbaye du Thoronet is an absolute must-see – even if you are not usually interested in churches. It is less a traditional museum and more a place to be experienced with all your senses.

10/06/2026: We received a very warm welcome at this restaurant. The dishes were truly excellent, especially one we weren't particularly familiar with, served with a very successful, reimagined chickpea side dish. The service and welcome were also impeccable, with the owner being particularly kind and attentive. However, it must be said that there was far too long a wait between courses. The owner seemed aware of this, having received many reservations throughout the day, which undoubtedly overwhelmed him. Since the restaurant is located on a fairly quiet side street, he perhaps wasn't expecting such a large influx of customers. Despite this negative point, the overall experience remains very positive thanks to the quality of the food, the friendliness of the staff, and the warm welcome. It is primarily the owner's kindness that justifies this five-star rating, because without it, I would have given it a lower rating due to the wait time.

11/05/2026: Always excellent in every way over the years. The dishes are of incredible quality and the staff are very attentive to the customers.

08/05/2026: We had lunch on the terrace; reservations are recommended as it was very busy. The food was delicious, and the daily special offered excellent value for money! The regular menu was also very tasty and reasonably priced. The terrace is lovely; you can hardly see or hear anything from the street. The only downside is that you only find out about the daily special if you ask.

19/07/2026: We had a wonderful meal. Everything is fresh, everything is homemade, and everything is delicious! The service is incredibly friendly, and the complimentary infused rum at the end of the meal is the icing on the cake! I recommend it 1000%!

19/07/2026: A pure delight, quite simply. We already knew Eric from another establishment, and it was already very good, but this… it's even better. The setting is cozy, you feel very comfortable there, it exudes happiness, and the food is excellent; it's truly a place not to be missed. We are absolutely thrilled, thank you for this wonderful evening ☺️☺️.
