St Tropez - What's Hot - The Opera Bar and Restaurant - The hardest to get in these days - expect too..unless..

Located on the far end of the port, L'Opera is the latest all-day resto-lounge from the creators of Le Papagayo that's been a nightlife institution for over a decade in St. Tropez. Along a waterfront terrace shaded by Mediterranean coastal pines, a familiar all-white decor mixes circular white club chairs with long banquettes trimmed in Italian leather. In the center of the space is a large communal table that doubles as a stage by night for cabaret show, fire-eaters, electro-violinists and the occasional shirtless contortionist. A glass wall of interconnecting doors leads to an interior space with a bit more panache, lined in abstract artwork offset in white-wood paneling in all-white brasserie-style dining room that acts more as an overflow to the main bar on late-nights.
unless...................
You stay at the fabulous resort just 5 mins outside of the busy downtown area of St Tropez; at the Chateau de la Messardiere. The resort overlooks the city and also the fabled beaches of St Tropez and the concierge there can work' magic' getting you into some of the most restrictive bars and restaurants in town. 
I suggest to stay at the resort rather than in town and there is free 24 hour shuttle to the town and local beaches.
I also suggest staying in the West Indies rooms at the hotel.
