With so much to see on the streets of St. Tropez, it is easy to stroll by the tiny bakeries, coffee shops and bars. Everywhere you look there is another shop selling gelato, sorbet, glace, or pastries. However, one we couldn't skip out on was the chicken stand called Rotisserie Tropezienne or Saint Tropez Rotisserie.
Because my parents have been to St. Tropez many times before, they have tested all the places and know exactly where to go. One day a couple of years ago, they were hungry and looking for somewhere to eat when they saw a small stand with rotisserie chicken roasting in a large rotating oven.
Skeptical, but knowing they would have to wait at any restaurant, they ordered a whole chicken and a bag of vegetables which were cooking underneath in the broth of the chicken. They were handed 2 take-out bags and sat right next to the stand on marble steps to eat their "take-out" meal.
It was absolutely amazing. Better than any other meal they had on the trip. Now it is a staple everytime they come to St. Tropez!
Big fans of simple meats and even more excited to try fresh cooked chicken, we finally stopped by the small stand. Just the smell was overwhelming. We watched the chicken as it was cooked slowly on the rotator and our mouths watered.
We ordered two whole chickens with extra vegetables. They told us that they only marinated them with olive oil, garlic, parsley and a little basil, which was perfect for all Niki's allergies. They took out the chicken and made us a beautiful platter!
If we tell you, this was the most delicious chicken we have ever had. The meat fell off the bones and were so tasty it was hard to stop eating it. Even the white meat was extremely moist and flavorful. Even though we are huge vegetable eaters, we barely touched the vegetables because the chicken was too hard to resist. Hands down the best meal we had in St. Tropez (and definitely the cheapest).
We would 100% recommend this small stand for the nicest help, most delectable flavor and careful presentation!
Love,
The Dishing Duo
