The story

Le Bougainvillier – Fréjus: Refined Mediterranean Dining at Villa Mauresque

A refined setting between sea and sky

At Villa Mauresque, a five-star hotel on the Corniche de Boulouris, Le Bougainvillier welcomes guests into a world of quiet elegance. Positioned between the ports of Saint-Raphaël and Boulouris, the restaurant commands an uninterrupted view of the Mediterranean. Whether seated on the seaside terrace or inside the dining room with its wide picture windows, the panorama of the bay is the constant companion to every meal.

Modern cuisine rooted in the region

The kitchen focuses on modern cuisine that honours local produce. Dishes are built around seasonal ingredients from Provence and the Côte d’Azur, prepared with precision and restraint. The wine list is equally thoughtful, featuring a strong selection of Provençal bottles alongside grands crus from Bordeaux. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner, and its careful, ingredient-led approach has earned it a Michelin Recommended distinction.

A place for both hotel guests and locals

While Le Bougainvillier is part of Villa Mauresque, it is very much open to outside visitors. The atmosphere is refined yet unhurried, perfect for a long lunch by the water or a candlelit dinner as the light fades over the bay. A second, more casual seasonal table called L'Olivier operates on the property during the warmer months, but Le Bougainvillier remains the hotel’s flagship dining experience – a polished, well‑anchored expression of modern Mediterranean cooking.
