A family-run restaurant on the shores of the Mediterranean, where bouillabaisse has been cooked over an open fire since 1953.
In the depths of the Bonne Terrasse bay, not far from Saint-Tropez, lies Chez Camille—a true gem of Provençal gastronomy. Founded between 1913 and the 1930s, this restaurant still preserves an atmosphere of coziness, family warmth, and authenticity.
Chez Camille is a restaurant on the outskirts of Ramatuelle, far from the Instagram crowds of Saint-Tropez. Everything here is for yourself: wooden chairs, linen napkins, an open space with a terrace right above the water.
From here, you can see fishermen returning with their catch, and guests — with a dreamy look in their eyes. It’s a place where people speak in whispers. Where every spoonful of soup carries the aftertaste of the southern wind.
At Chez Camille, bouillabaisse has been prepared since 1953. Here, it’s not just a soup — it’s almost a ritual.
The classic bouillabaisse (€79 per person, minimum two people) is served in several stages. First comes the fish: rascasse, grondin, chapon, Saint-Pierre — all caught off the Mediterranean coast and cooked over wood fire. Then comes the rich broth with tomatoes, saffron, olive oil, and incredibly fragrant rouille.
The royal bouillabaisse (€130 per person) offers all the same goodness, plus 400 g of langoustine. Both versions are prepared exclusively over an open fire and have a rich, slightly smoky, bold flavor. No compromises.
Yes, bouillabaisse is the centerpiece. But the other dishes don’t disappoint either.
Let’s now move on to an equally important part of the meal — the desserts:
There’s nothing random on the menu. Everything is local, fresh, unpretentious, and crafted with maximum attention to detail.
At Chez Camille, they don’t chase trends — they choose what pairs beautifully with the sea and bouillabaisse. The wine list features distinctive whites and deep reds from Provence and Corsica, selected with taste and experience. That said, the restaurant also offers a solid selection of cocktails — let’s take a look:
Cocktails here are simple and classic — no frills, but with full respect for tradition. You’ll find Negroni, Spritz, and even their signature classic Martini with olive oil (€14). They also serve cold water, lemonade, mineral water, and classic coffee.
Chez Camille is not a restaurant you stumble upon by chance. It’s a place you choose. For a first encounter with bouillabaisse, for a farewell to the season, for a toast that needs no reason.
Here, everything is real: the fish, the sea, the history. And if you’re looking for a restaurant that doesn’t just feed you, but speaks to you — Chez Camille is waiting.
