Loulou brought Paris's most fashionable dining room to Pampelonne — a beach club where the kitchen actually leads. Mediterranean cooking with an Italian and Sicilian lean — pizza and pasta included —, a vineyard at its back, daybeds in front, and a crowd that moves between the Marais and Mykonos. July and August lunches are the season's toughest beach booking after Club 55.
Booking, the OF.luxury way
One message covers it: date, party size and any preferences. We confirm availability and the night's terms directly with the venue, hold the table in your name, and stay reachable until you are seated. Every booking is subject to the venue's availability and confirmed case by case.
Loulou on Pampelonne: the setting, the cooking and the season
Loulou à Ramatuelle is at 962 Chemin des Tamaris, on Pampelonne beach. The terrace looks out to sea and across to Pointe du Capon. The 2026 season runs daily from 23 April to 3 October.
The look
The design draws on the French Riviera of the 1950s. Whitewashed wooden cladding and boat sails for shade set the tone. It feels like a smart beach house rather than a club, and the music stays behind the conversation.
The cooking
Executive chef Benoit Dargère cooks Mediterranean food from the south of France, Italy and Sicily. The menu runs from antipasti and salads to pizza, pasta and seafood, with Italian desserts to finish. The wine list has more than 100 references. The Italian leaning makes Loulou easy for a family table, where children and grandparents can both order simply.
On the beach
Mattresses and deckchairs are available, the beach is supervised, and beach kit can be hired. A day on the sand can follow lunch without moving on.
Arriving
- By yacht: Loulou runs a boat shuttle from the moorings off the beach.
- By car: private and standard parking are on site, so the driver can wait.
- By helicopter: flights from Nice land at La Môle, about 15 kilometres south-west of Saint-Tropez. A car covers the final stretch.
Who it suits
Loulou suits a polished lunch where the food leads, for a couple, a family or a small group. It is the calmer choice of the two beaches on the Chemin des Tamaris. Its neighbour Bagatelle runs louder in the afternoon.
