Nelson might not traditionally be synonymous with fine European cuisine, but Le Plônc is swiftly changing that narrative. This petite, 20-seat dining room delivers an inspired degustation experience that has already earned it a reputation among New Zealand’s best. Adorned with the captivating photography of local legend Craig Potton (whose gallery is conveniently next door), the restaurant marries art with gastronomy. Each course is an elegant French-inspired creation, impeccably paired with divine wines. The result is an evening of refined indulgence that leaves a lasting impression and firmly places Nelson on the culinary map.
