La Planque

La Planque is an elegant yet cozy multi-level restaurant where the waiters get consistently top marks for their service. There's a downstairs room that's preferred by local businessmen and private parties, as it's soundproof and secluded. The open kitchen is the focal point of the space. The lunch menu is small but considered: A memorable choice is the charred squid served with chorizo, creamy polenta, and a lemon and celery salad. The wine list is excellent and includes a range of local options. The cocktails are worth dipping into as well: one a delightful concoction includes rum, cider, lime, maple syrup, and mint.
