ON THE MENU: MANY GASTRONOMIC INNOVATIONS IN THE FRENCH PALACES
With a total of 628 Michelin-starred restaurants, France’s gastronomic influence shines internationally. Since the beginning of the year, there has been no lack of inspiration at the renowned French tables. Chefs strive to create beautiful culinary surprises that no taste buds will be able to forget. Between the opening of new restaurants, new menus and the arrival of famous names from the world of French gastronomy at well-known addresses, the most popular hotels wanted to honour their guests as soon as they reopened.
On the Mediterranean coast, right in the heart of Saint Tropez, a new Italian restaurant belonging to the Château de la Messardière and signed by Marco Garfagnini opened at the very beginning of the summer. On the menu, Italian specialities cooked with the most beautiful produce of the peninsula: Pizzettas (with gluten-free option) and fresh salads with black garlic from Voghiera, smoked burrata or cooked ham from San Giovanni are all on the menu. Those with a sweet tooth will also find a selection of Italian ice cream.
