Le Plongeoir - restaurant in Nice
Welcome to Le Plongeoir, a waterfront restaurant in Nice. Nice has many attractions which represent all the charm of the French Riviera, colourful houses, a port, long beaches and pebble coves with blue water azure. The extraordinary Le Plongeoir restaurant is perched on a rocky promontory surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea.
History
At the end of the 19th century and throughout the Belle Époque, a fishing boat nicknamed 'The Inflexible' was planted on this rock more than 6 meters above the water. Connected to the mainland by a footbridge. This place quickly became one of the most popular bar-restaurants on the Riviera. In 1941, The Inflexible suffered damage and had to be destroyed. Later René Livieri, an architect built a diving board on 3 levels but it soon ran into disrepair and was destroyed.
In 2015, thanks to Marc Dussoulier, a new restaurant was created in this legendary place.
The gourmet restaurant; around 25 to 30 euros for a starter, 37 to 45 euros for a main course and 15 euros for dessert. The breathtaking sea view offers wonderful sunsets.
