Summary: Provencal & Mediterranean fare.
Le Plongeon boasts a vibrant veranda in the Accoules neighborhood, offering a view of one of the city's oldest buildings. The venue's inviting atmosphere drew in a young, versatile chef who excels in meats and charcuteries, although these specialties are currently understated on the menu, save for a standout pâté en croûte. The culinary focus is on Provencal and Mediterranean products, featuring dishes like eggplant caviar with virgin sauce, dentex fish, and a variety of squashes, as well as pork loin with beans and chutney. While the family-style cuisine could benefit from added complexity, particularly in its sauces, there’s potential for growth and personalization. Le Plongeon delivers professional, attentive service and has room to expand its wine list.
