Chez Camille - Restaurant de Bouillabaisse et Fruits de Mer à Ramatuelle — Restaurant in Draguignan

One of the poorest bouillabaisse I ever got served in over 44 years, but for the price of 75 Euro/person that's quite acceptable... . Lucky me I charge my next client for my lawyer services instead of CHF 280 for the first hour CHF 365, so at least I was able to get over the financial damage.

Interesting though they write on their own homepage: "Huile d’olive, oignons, ail, thym, tomates, sans oublier le safran, voilà la base de la bouillabaisse." There is plenty of "safran" and the other ingredients lose the battle of getting recognized at large. On the seaside, only calamar and one other fish was countable.

However, the view is nice and the "liste des vins" is at a quite reasonable prices. So go there, take an Apéro (e.g. Puligny-Montrachet Magnum white) but don't, really don't, order the bouillabaisse (and also not - for the love of your kids - the kids burger).

Also pour le grand cuistot dans la cuisine "Chez Camille", j'ai ajouté une foto comment une bouillabaisse devrait...

It was not our first time at CHEZ CAMILLE on this October 3rd 2025. As usual we left our car at the Service Voiturier and had a very pleasant dinner. The service at the table was excellent and so was the food. Unfortunately we cannot say the same for the Service Voiturier. I prepared 5.- Euro as a tip for the guy who brought us the car. When I handed it over to him he looked at me as if in disbelief and said in a condescending manner “Oh no Madame, the Service is 10.- Euro.” I answered that he may keep the 5.- Euro as a tip and gave him the 10.- Euro for the Service as he demanded. But believe me, I never felt so ashamed and humiliated. I never paid a fee before for the Service Voiturier at CHEZ CAMILLE. I’m not sure, if their Service Voiturier is actually really to be paid and if the guy was right, but in that case, he could have asked politely and not in the manner he did. Believe me, the wonderful evening was broken in that...

It’s very difficult to find true foodie gems in Saint-Tropez. But there are a few well kept secrets and exceptions. Chez Camille is one of them. The star of the show here is the bouillabaisse, a carefully crafted fish recipe that takes patience and craftsmanship to cook and bring all the flavours to your palate. It’s so easy to have a bad one and so hard to find the real one, well this is it. Highly recommend to take the royal one with lobster. It is very important for the fish soup to be hot and the staff is on the spot to bring hot new batch from the wood fire - my advice, don’t touch the potatoes and focus on the freshly caught fish and lobsters. As if this perfection wasn’t enough, the setting is also majestic. The restaurant is well hidden in a beautiful cove where the sun set as you enjoy your meal. Service was also impeccable and warm, a rare thing in south of France. So there, a truly...
