les hot spots et bonnes adresses de l'été 2022
Belle prise pour le Château de la Messardière — palace situé sur les collines de Saint-Tropez, désormais dans le giron de la collection Airelles — qui s'associe avec le légendaire chef japonais Nobu Matsuhisa pour la saison estivale. À Matsuhisa, son concept le plus premium que l'on connaît déjà au Royal Monceau ou sur la Riviera athénienne, il propose aux convives une « cuisine de fusion franco-pan-asiatique », avec un accent particulier mis sur les fruits de mer. Mais les fans retrouveront aussi ses plats signature, notamment le « sashimi à queue jaune avec piment et sauce soja yuzu », le « black cod au miso saikyo-yaki » ou le « tempura de crevettes de roche ».

Taken over by the Airelles collection (Courchevel, Bastide de Gordes, Château de Versailles, etc.), the Château de la Messardière welcomes chef Nobuyuki Matsuhisa, better known by his nickname "Nobu", to its terrace with panoramic views over Pampelonne beach. The emperor of global Japanese gastronomy presents his salmon or Wagyu sashimi tacos, umami chili-style bass or tempura king crab with amazu ponzu sauce. Every evening in summer, the restaurant plays live music, and the evening continues in the Pool Bar Pampelonne by the pool.

We like the spinach salad with truffle and miso, the grey shrimp tempura with spicy sauce, the new style salmon sashimi and the salmon tartar on crispy rice which is much better presented here than in Paris.
