Restaurant Vincent Croizard sur Nimes

05/09/2026: A wonderful experience! The dishes are prepared with high-quality ingredients enhanced by a personal touch (petals and microgreens). Our two dishes, the fresh salad and the andouillette sausage with mashed potatoes, were excellent. Special mention for the wine pairing. In short: don't hesitate! 😊

05/09/2026: There are restaurants where we go to eat… 🍽️ And then there are those that end up becoming a little piece of our history. ❤️ In Nîmes, many people know Christine and Lilian. For many years, they ran Le Fanfaron, in the Révolution district. An iconic eatery, just the way we like them: generous, flavorful, indulgent cuisine, with a touch of warmth… but above all, a place where you felt good. You discovered a thousand and one flavors there, you ran into regulars, you met up with friends… And for my children and me, it became a bit like our family canteen. ❤️ You know, those places where you don't just have memories on your plate, but also memories of life. So naturally, when Christine and Lilian decided to write a new chapter in their story by taking over Le Bistrot des Arènes, just steps from the Nîmes Arena, I wanted to follow this new adventure. And what do I particularly like about it? They haven't tried to become someone else. They've stayed true to themselves. Generous cuisine. Fresh produce. Local ingredients. Short supply chains. Local producers. And above all, that authenticity that's part of their DNA. But because their story doesn't end in Nîmes… 😉 They've also slipped a little piece of my Drôme region into their Nîmes cuisine. ❤️ Two dishes showcase our famous ravioli from Romans-sur-Isère. So naturally, when you're from the Drôme region and you find a little piece of home amidst all these flavors… 👉 It can't help but tantalize the palate and taste buds! 😂 And ultimately, I think that's precisely what makes them successful. Christine and Lilian have crafted their menu based on their own story. On their experiences. On their encounters. On their roots. On their desires. And it shows. Because great cuisine, like a great adventure, doesn't need to be like everyone else's. It simply needs to reflect the people who create it. This new adventure began a few months ago… So today, I simply wanted to tell them: Well done, Christine. Well done, Lilian. ❤️ Bravo for your courage, your hard work, and for bringing a little bit of the Fanfaron spirit to the Bistrot des Arènes. The Fanfaron may have moved… But clearly, the spirit is still there. And it's delicious! 😉 So if you haven't yet discovered their new address… Go there. Take a seat. Taste. And let their story unfold… one dish at a time. 🍽️❤️ 📍 Le Bistrot des Arènes — Nîmes Christine Audibert @featured Bistrot Des Arènes #BistrotDesArènes #Nîmes #RestaurantNîmes #LeFanfaron #LocalCuisine #ShortSupplyChain #FreshProduce #RomansRavioli #RomansSurIsère #LaDrômeÀNîmes #Gastronomy #GenerousCuisine #NîmesMyCity #GoodAddresses #FoodNîmes
