Mediterranean cooking, entirely homemade
A short menu, in step with the seasons
At Les Complices, homemade isn't a marketing line: it's the starting point. Every dish is made on site, from the very first step to plating, in an open kitchen with nothing hidden. That standard is what gives our plates their honesty.
The menu is kept deliberately short to follow the market and keep every ingredient fresh. It turns with the seasons, never settling into routine — clear, generous plates made to be shared, in a relaxed and thoroughly Provençal setting.
