L’escale de Fonfon

The story

On the banks of the Rhone, not far from Valencia, at the small Port de l'Epervière is the Escale de Fonfon, a fish restaurant. An authentic environment in a warm setting, the establishment has a unique panorama in a place of absolute tranquility which is reminiscent of the atmosphere of the Vallon des Auffes.
Here, you will be immersed in the world of Fonfon, distilling the flavors of Provence and the Mediterranean. A climate conducive to relaxation and the pleasure of the senses. Between the sea and the mountains, overlooking this small river port, you can enjoy the famous Fonfon bouillabaisse served according to the family tradition or you can enjoy fish just grilled on the plancha. Fresh products, always seasonal, in a 50’s atmosphere, photos on the wall and collector’s items that take us out of time and make you share the family universe so present in all the attentions. Travelers are our guests and, during a stopover, we take care to leave them the memory of a memorable experience, a bit of “home”.

The world Alphonse and Jean

The Alphonse and Jean group has its roots in the small fishing port of Vallon des Auffes in Marseille.
Based on two establishments - CHEZ FONFON and CHEZ JEANNOT - created by the Alphonse and Jean MOUNIER siblings in this picturesque district of Marseille, the Alphonse et Jean group has today gone beyond the family setting to become a true signature.
If the foundations were laid 70 years ago with the creation of a Marseilles culinary institution - CHEZ FONFON - based on the expertise of local fishermen, the life journey of the two brothers from Marseilles – and then their descendants - has allowed the birth and development of new emblematic places.
The Fresh fish and bouillabaisse of Chez Fonfon, the pizza and the setting of Chez Jeannot, the «on the go» from Chez Viaghji, the traditional cuisine of Escale in Valencia, the butcher’s shop of Pépé Guido in Samatan (Marseille), the wine estate of Les Césars in Tulette draw more than the contours of a group.

They define an ART OF LIVING.
