La Vague d'Ôr

Côte d'Azur / French Riviera > Saint-Tropez

Set among pine trees and overlooking the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, this restaurant offers a setting closely linked to the Mediterranean landscape. The cuisine reflects this environment with a menu based on regional ingredients.

Chef Arnaud Donckele approaches each product with particular care, starting with meticulous work on local fish. His dishes aim to reveal the specific character of each species, exploring differences in texture, flavor and preparation.

Sauces play a central role in his cooking. Precisely crafted, they bring structure and balance to dishes while enhancing the ingredients they accompany.

The menu also features meat dishes accompanied by seasonal vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers and zucchini from the region. Each plate reflects a careful selection of ingredients and a clear focus on Mediterranean produce.

Chef Arnaud Donckele leads the kitchen with menus designed to reflect the ingredients and traditions of the region. Each menu explores different aspects of Provençal cuisine, offering guests the opportunity to discover a range of dishes shaped by local produce and careful technique. The approach combines land and sea, drawing on ingredients that define the Mediterranean landscape. The menus evolve with the seasons and highlight products sourced from regional producers.

Chef Donckele works closely with farmers, gardeners and fishermen who supply the kitchen. Herbs, vegetables and seafood are selected for their quality and their connection to the region. These ingredients form the foundation of the menu, where each dish reflects both the work of the producers and the character of the surrounding landscape.

Chef Arnaud Donckele works alongside a team of more than thirty cooks who prepare the menu each day.
