Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française en Nimes

06/05/2026: Excellent welcome, the owner is very friendly and charming, I highly recommend it!!

06/05/2026: I agree with my friend about the so-called mango-coconut smoothie; it was more like watered-down pineapple. The small mocha isn't what it used to be—please avoid it… The bartender definitely needs to change, and so does the waitress… This place is best avoided

08/05/2026: Traditional cuisine, impeccable service, the atmosphere of Les Halles market – everything came together for a fantastic lunch. The owner shared her recipes with us, as everything is homemade with love. She offered us lamb kidneys as there were only a few left, a gesture rare enough to be truly appreciated. The Mazet aioli with a large cod fillet and its memorable aioli sauce was perfect. The tripe à la marseillaise was divine with its hint of orange. And what can I say about the desserts... A dark chocolate ganache with olive jam or the enormous chocolate fondant – it's hard to choose! ✨

02/05/2026: Food is good but being ripped of 1 euro changes after paying by cash. I take it as tips ? 😉

27/11/2025: A great place to meet up with friends during lunch break. Perfect in winter with its enclosed, heated terrace, and in the height of summer with its beautiful garden. We love it! Always a warm welcome, and the team of women is fantastic! Fast service, generous and satisfying daily specials, and a small chalkboard menu featuring quality ingredients. If you're looking for quick but high-quality food in a cozy atmosphere, this is the place. I highly recommend it. However, since it's such a great restaurant, be sure to book your table.

24/11/2025: Traditional French cuisine with very high-quality ingredients (delicious local meat and drinks). I highly recommend it!

28/04/2026: A welcoming restaurant located near the center of Nîmes

22/04/2026: The food is very good, the portions are generous. Friendly welcome.

03/04/2026: Alexandre and Jacky, irresponsible service, always smiling and in good spirits, you are the sunshine of FOOD village, stay just as you are 😁

24/03/2026: Excellent meal, top-notch waiters!

16/05/2026: Generous and delicious main courses and desserts, everything is homemade, which is so rare these days, especially the fries. Excellent value for money. Super friendly service.

11/05/2026: Home-style cooking, quality on the plate without any fuss, at a very reasonable price. We discovered this place by chance, we'll be back.

02/03/2026: Probably the best padel in Nîmes. The setting is pleasant, the courts are well maintained, and the staff are very friendly.

02/12/2025: A very nice, friendly place for Padel or Tennis, with excellent Smash Burgers.

19/05/2026: The product was very good, however, the service from the waiter was not a smile, bordering on unpleasant. It's a bit of a stain on this kind of establishment, and it's not the first time!

19/05/2026: We're there every lunchtime. Everything is perfect. Top-notch staff. Varied cuisine. Impeccable.

28/10/2025: Strange experience. Negative points: The owner was smoking a cigarette outside the table at 7:30 pm when we arrived. There were two forks instead of one and a knife on the table. The table next to us wasn't fully set. There were stains on the tablecloth on the side facing the customer. Only one red wine was available (due to a delivery issue...) and it was served cold because "it's just come from the cellar, you'll have to wait a bit"... (if there were no other wines, why wasn't it at least brought to room temperature beforehand??). The scallop risotto was underwhelming, far from being a risotto, with barely two scallops on the plate. The starter was a trio of foie gras, including pan-seared foie gras served on a chilled plate. There was a 30-minute wait between courses (and there were only six tables). The desserts were uninspired and expensive, especially for a mass-produced chocolate fondant (15 euros, just the Metro brand fondant, and a scoop of store-bought sorbet). The owner was smoking a cigarette at 8:50 pm (in the company of the chef, so it's no wonder we waited 30 minutes between courses), so we went outside to ask for the bill. I asked where the restrooms were, and the owner said, "Wait, I'll go check, I haven't had time to clean them," and flushed the toilet in front of me... no soap. That's outrageous. Positive points: The welcome was still friendly. The food was well-prepared, the ingredients were good, but nothing was exceptional, even if the techniques and cooking methods were sound. For example, the scallop risotto was far from being a risotto, and inexplicably topped with the same garnish as all the other dishes (the same one I had on my tournedos Rossini): a mix of sautéed vegetables, including potatoes. About the risotto... The place is quite unusual. An experience costing 100 euros for two, but not worth it. A shame. 100 euros is a lot of money.

17/10/2025: Extremely good. Even at past midnight, you could eat. Lovely place. We were the only two that late night. Clear, cosy and romantic. Fresh products, nice attendance. Tasty. My girlfriend said orgasmic. Served by the Chef himself. Not as expensive as it should be. A place to recommend, no doubt.

18/04/2026: A nice and pleasant place to relax, however the prices are a bit high...

02/04/2026: Conveniently located on Boulevard Jean Jaurès, Café Pantel is something of an institution. Always lively, it's a popular spot for people to gather around a beer or a coffee, chatting about football or bullfighting. The food is simple and good. Friendly service.
