Restaurant de la Tour

Restaurant de la Tour stands on Sanary's harbor within the Hôtel de la Tour, a house whose story reaches back to the nineteenth century. The Mercier family's connection began in 1936, when Lyon chef Lucien Mercier acquired the hotel. Géraldine later took over as the family's third generation, and two great-grandsons joined the dining room team in 2024. That continuity provides the background to a restaurant centered on fish, shellfish and traditional service. Christian and Bruno prepare specialties including fish baked in a salt crust, bouillabaisse and bourride. Seafood platters offer another way to explore the kitchen's maritime focus. Ingredients come from local fishing and agriculture, supported by relationships with suppliers built over many years. The connection can be very direct: fishermen sometimes arrive in the hotel lobby with a notable catch. At the table, fish is carved in front of guests, preserving a style of service that is part of the restaurant's identity. A renovated dining room and a sunny terrace provide two settings for looking out toward the harbor. Seasonal changes shape the menu, while the daily dish often features fish and is followed by a dessert made by the pastry chef. The restaurant belongs to a hotel associated with visiting writers and artists, adding a sense of local history to the meal. Its appeal lies in that combination of a working port setting, established seafood specialties and a family hospitality tradition.
