If no one can help directly, contact the restaurants listed in:
https://www.pagesjaunes.fr/annuaire/...83/restaurants
As for your dogs:
Plages autorisées aux chiens - Sainte Maxime (83) en 2017
but I doubt they'd be allowed in a restaurant....
You've chosen a nice place for a holiday, anyway!

Thanks for your help

You're welcome!
I would have added:

under "Séjourner", but it seemed a bit obvious to try the Syndicat d'Initiative for things to do!

Ste Maxime is lovely, in fact it was one of the first places I ever visited in France will be closedIt was 1963 and I went with my boyfriend - who became my husband.

I now live inland ut I suspect that if Ste Maxime is anything like large parts of Provence many many restaurants over Christmas and into February.

There is only one restaurnt worth going to in our area open on Christmas Day. This is partly because the BIG MEAL and the present opening is done on the evening of the 24th. This is extremely important and traditional in Provenceis and very much a family thing.

I hope you enjoy your visit and find something special. If you get the chance go an see some Creche Provencal - the tourist office should be able to help.
