Reviews Summary
Le Sporting is celebrated as an authentic local brasserie with delicious food at reasonable prices, especially its daily specials and pizzas. While the ambiance is lively and the food generally well-received, some diners note issues with cleanliness, particularly the restrooms, and inconsistent service attentiveness. The prices, though fair for the area, can still be a point of contention for some.
"We had the perfect bavette as the plat du jour. very tasty, long time ago that we had such a good bavette. The owner is very friendly. Good service fast service also excellent to sit with small kids (1 and 3). They have great crepes! Only thing they need to do is to fix and clean the toilettes"

"We stopped by for brunch before continuing our touring of St. Tropez. The place was busy, bustling with locals and few tourists like ourselves. The staff was nice but not exactly attentive.
The menu and explanations weren't clear (3 of us in our party speak almost fluent french) and we more or less got what we ordered.
The fresh fruit at the end was a nice touch to meal that was ok for the price."
Rob Gould
"Pizzas were freshly made and fired! Papum pizza came topped with fresh egg that was nice and runny. Chèvre meil came topped with prosciutto ham on goat cheese. Pasta with meatballs was al dente and freshly cooked with tomato sauce."
