5. Le Père Louis — Great Value for Money
LA SEYNE sur mer
Le Père Louis is perched on the Tamaris corniche. Although recently opened, it’s already a hit, becoming a haven for the region’s partygoers.
Their Sunday brunch is a seasonal affair, primarily during summer or on sunny days, as most of the seating is outdoors. It’s the most affordable buffet on our list but doesn’t skimp on variety. However, not many (if any) dishes are homemade. Nonetheless, the flavors are spot-on, with fresh ingredients and warm servings. Plus, the view is a treat, and there’s ample space!

4. La Galerie — Luxurious Brunch Buffet
LA SEYNE sur mer
La Galerie is the dining gem within the Grand Hôtel des Sablettes in La Seyne. A newly renovated beachfront hotel! The buffet on offer is simply astounding. Craving a luxurious brunch? Look no further! It’s the priciest buffet on our list, but every penny is well spent, especially if you have a hearty appetite.
Upon arrival, the friendly staff greets you with a choice of Champagne or fresh fruit smoothie—how posh is that? The buffet spread is vast, boasting everything from continental breakfast, starters, English breakfast, hot meals, cheese, and desserts. All dishes are crafted with local ingredients, ensuring a unique dining experience every time.

3. Les Caves de Bazeilles — City-Centered Brunch Buffet
toulon
Nestled on Boulevard Bazeille in Mourillon, this restaurant offers scrumptious cuisine that I had the pleasure of tasting recently. I was intrigued about trying their brunch. ESPECIALLY since the kitchen is now headed by the former chef from la Table du Vigneron in Ollioules. If you haven’t had a chance to savor the brunch buffet at la Table de Vigneron, you’ve missed out big time. It was phenomenal; a sheer sadness that it’s no more.
Enough of the nostalgia, though. I was eager to see if this brunch matched up. Unfortunately, it doesn’t. But let’s face it; perfection is hard to replicate. Still, the ambiance here is more laid-back, informal, and less of the cozy fireside setting. Yet, the offerings are delectable, homemade, diverse, and well-presented. The service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is friendly. So, if you’re in town or just passing through Toulon, this brunch buffet is a must-visit.
Price: 35€

2. La Reine Jane — A Whirlwind of Delicacies
hyères
Built in the 50s and renovated in 2017, La Reine Jane exhibits a style reminiscent of Villa Noailles, a renowned hub for fashion and art. Each hotel room, adorned by different designers, offers guests a distinct experience. The premises also house a restaurant and a bar, which transforms into a rooftop terrace during balmy summer nights, perfect for savoring delightful cocktails.
This brunch came on my radar due to the buzz around it, and honestly, it didn’t disappoint. The array of choices is dizzying, with everything looking appetizing and fresh. Moreover, the quality of ingredients is evident, and that’s always a win! I particularly adored the salmon gravelax, but if fish isn’t your thing, there’s a plethora of options: charcuterie, cheeses, pies, pastries, fresh fruits, and more.

1. Ô Petit Monde — 100% Homemade & Super full Brunch Buffet
sanary
And now, the crème de la crème of brunch buffets: Ô Petit Monde. One of my cherished spots, I brunch here at least once a year. The sole downside? The brunch is exclusively available during winter, meaning no alfresco dining.
For the uninitiated, this is a slice of heaven I’ve been frequenting for almost a decade. The food, particularly during the off-season, is sublime. The service is relaxed yet quirky, and the ambiance… well, it’s the cherry on top.
The buffet, of course, is unlimited and EVERYTHING, right down to the bread (available in various types), is homemade. Offerings range from oysters, in-house smoked salmon, quiches, fresh fruits, regional charcuterie and cheeses, to hot dishes. Yes, even those are unlimited. Think truffle pasta, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, and even veggies. Freshly squeezed juices and hot beverages (Mariage Frère tea) are also included. In short, it’s iconic.
