Le Sarment de Vigne - Sainte-Maxime

Food was excellent and staff very friendly, wine recommended was great, overall very impressed and portions decent size as well.

The restaurant is just outside the city center, inside the Hotel "Les Santolines", and we had a very nice and quiet dinner, near the swimming-pool, with well prepared dishes. We had very tasty grilled fish called "Beaux yeux", accompanied with delicate sauces and vegetables, and as a dessert, wonderful "îles flottantes aux agrumes". The place certainly deserves a visit!

Exceptionally good hosts excellent very informative . Nice to see the chef explaining the food very personal touch the filet even though I like it well done was cooked to perfection. Husband loved the oysters. Best food of the whole holiday .

The wood-roasted mussels baked on the wood in foil are absolutely delicious and I have tried to do them myself and failed to capture the delicious flavour, so we will be going back!The service was friendly and polite. Lovely spot by the pool and despite being near to a busy road you don't hear the road once you're inside the courtyard.Make a point of going here, it's worth the stroll away from the mass tourism in the centre of town.

This restaurant is attached to Hotel Les Santolines and is run by the brother of the sister that runs the hotel but that aside there isn't a formal link, e.g thi is not where the hotel guest have their breakfast. The terrace looks out over the pool of the hotel and is pleasant.The service here is satisfactory but the food, whilst reasonable, is nothing to write home about. Everything on the Cote d'Azur is expensive which one has to accept but then you certainly become more conscious of the need for, if not a 'wow' factor, then at least something memorable and this restaurant didn't meet either requirement.My soupe de poisson was, frankly, tasteless and thin. I have had better out of a jar and the duck to follow was fine but the orange sauce was again bland and limited in quantity. Presentation was, as is normally the case, very good but we would like to have been more excited by this place as we were staying at the hotel and would have used it more if we'd been more impressed. The wine list was decent but the wine we originally chose was out of stock, however, the alternative suggested was very pleasant.
