Le Plongeoir is a chic and cozy restaurant in the south of France on the top of a rock! They have a delicious French kitchen and a wonderful view!
Beautiful History of Restaurant Le Plongeoir
Plongeoir has always been an open air restaurant. The kiosk was built on the first rock and a fishing boat was set up on the second rock later in 1876.
The two rocks are connected by a small bridge! The guests love the place because of the experience of sipping and clinking tea six meters above the sea!
The owners of the restaurant give a lot of dance parties so that all guests can enjoy life the way French do! The boat is the pride of the people of Nice!
The new, more modern and sophisticated facelift of Le Plongeoir was unveiled in the summer of 2015! Instead of the old place the new hotspot boasts two restaurant areas on the rock.
Le Plongeoir wants to bring new life to this great location while respecting its history. Furthermore, the restaurant also has a lounge bar, called Le Vivier. This hotspot is perfect for a drink, some snacks and to enjoy the amazing view! This place is only available from June to the end of August because you are closer to the sea.
Original and Delicious Dishes From the French Cuisine
The restaurant is definitely a hotspot in Nice, because of the history and the delicious dishes! The Plongeoir is a chic and cozy restaurant that serves authentic French cuisine with a capital F!
The menu features flavorful entrees, seasonal seafood, and ingredients sourced from local markets. It includes their signature dishes which are : sea bream accompanied by fresh peach quarters and chickpea panisse, Carnaroli risotto laced with plump shrimp and shavings of Parmesan cheese. Yum!
