Les meilleurs restaurants en Nimes

01/09/2024: Last night, we had an absolutely deplorable experience at the Ô Panda restaurant in Nîmes. We were a group of six friends, and despite booking in advance, the service turned out to be a complete disaster from start to finish. When we arrived at 9:45 p.m., we were seated at our table and the waiter came to take our drink order. After an interminable 20 minute wait, our drinks finally arrived, but again, nothing went as planned. Instead of the Monaco I ordered, I was served half a peach with strawberry syrup on the side, a clear error. In addition, the lemon beer that we were expecting turns into a simple 50 cl beer, without any trace of lemon. Faced with these errors, we politely point out the problem to the waitress who, instead of apologizing, allows herself to laugh and openly make fun of us. She then goes back to the bar to correct her order, but returns with a Monaco without lemonade (so, not a Monaco) and another FuzeTea instead of beer. This situation is becoming ridiculous: after 40 minutes of waiting, we still haven't received our drinks correctly, and we haven't even started eating. When we were finally able to start our meal, after so many adventures, a waitress came to our table after only 15 minutes to ask us if we had finished with the salty, because she was about to remove everything. We reply that we are not finished yet, but we are ready to move on to dessert to make it easier for them. Barely two minutes later, she comes back, interrupting us in the middle of our discussion to urge us to move on to the sweet stuff because she had to remove everything. His intrusive and unpleasant attitude, after the multiple service errors, really exasperated us. We expressed our displeasure by letting him know that we had never been treated like this in a restaurant. His reaction? No apology, nothing, other than a casual "Ok fine, do that" when we told him we would rather leave than suffer this unacceptable treatment. In addition to this deplorable service, the quality of the all-you-can-eat buffet also left something to be desired. The bins were almost all empty, and nothing was restocked. For a restaurant that prides itself on offering all-you-can-eat service, this is simply unacceptable. In conclusion, Ô Panda in Nîmes is a place to avoid at all costs. Between disrespectful service, repeated errors, and a dismal buffet, this establishment has clearly lost the sense of hospitality and respect for customers. A real shame.

01/09/2024: Hier soir, nous avons vécu une expérience absolument déplorable au restaurant Ô Panda à Nîmes. Nous étions un groupe de six amis, et malgré une réservation effectuée à l'avance, le service s'est avéré être un véritable désastre du début à la fin. À notre arrivée à 21h45, on nous a installés à notre table et le serveur est venu prendre notre commande de boissons. Après une attente interminable de 20 minutes, nos boissons finissent par arriver, mais là encore, rien ne se passe comme prévu. Au lieu du Monaco commandé, on me sert un demi-pêche accompagné d’un sirop de fraise à part, une erreur manifeste. De plus, la bière citronnée que nous attendions se transforme en une simple bière de 50 cl, sans aucune trace de citron. Face à ces erreurs, nous signalons poliment le problème à la serveuse qui, au lieu de s'excuser, se permet de rire et de se moquer ouvertement de nous. Elle repart ensuite vers le bar pour corriger sa commande, mais revient avec un Monaco sans limonade (donc, pas un Monaco) et un autre FuzeTea à la place de la bière. Cette situation devient ridicule : après 40 minutes d'attente, nous n'avons toujours pas reçu nos boissons correctement, et nous n'avons même pas commencé à manger. Lorsque nous avons finalement pu commencer notre repas, après tant de péripéties, une serveuse se présente à notre table au bout de seulement 15 minutes pour nous demander si nous avions fini avec le salé, car elle s’apprêtait à tout retirer. Nous répondons que nous n’avons pas encore terminé, mais que nous sommes prêts à passer au dessert pour leur faciliter la tâche. À peine deux minutes plus tard, elle revient à la charge, nous interrompant en pleine discussion pour nous presser de passer au sucré car elle devait tout retirer. Son attitude intrusive et désagréable, après les multiples erreurs de service, nous a vraiment exaspérés. Nous avons exprimé notre mécontentement en lui faisant savoir que nous n'avions jamais été traités de la sorte dans un restaurant. Sa réaction ? Aucune excuse, rien, si ce n'est un "Ok très bien, faites ça" désinvolte quand nous lui avons dit que nous préférions partir plutôt que de subir ce traitement inacceptable. En plus de ce service déplorable, la qualité du buffet à volonté laissait également à désirer. Les bacs étaient presque tous vides, et rien n'était réapprovisionné. Pour un restaurant qui se targue de proposer un service à volonté, c'est tout simplement inacceptable. En conclusion, Ô Panda à Nîmes est un lieu à éviter à tout prix. Entre un service irrespectueux, des erreurs à répétition, et un buffet lamentable, cet établissement a clairement perdu le sens de l’hospitalité et du respect des clients. Une véritable honte.

30/11/2025: This place is a disgrace! They make fun of the customers and their employees, especially the new ones. What is the world coming to?! They'll recognize themselves; they're the two oldest in the bakery. I'll never set foot in there again, nor will I give them my money, because they are truly haughty and disrespectful. Ugh! I confirm the other reviews that say the same thing. Where is the manager? Plus, their tarts are undercooked, especially the pastry. They don't taste very good... a real disgrace. And on top of that, these women are like radar guns, watching and peering everywhere. No need for security cameras, as if we were about to steal! The saleswoman serves you with her mouth full, and on top of that, she puts the chocolates on the shelves without gloves! That's completely unhygienic.

23/11/2025: This Sunday morning, I went to Villaret's for Sunday breakfast: croissants and brioche. It was 7:40 a.m. I walked through the shop; I was the only customer. The display wasn't yet set up. I was facing four saleswomen who didn't see fit to interrupt their conversation. Almost a minute passed before the youngest of them deigned to give me a half-hearted greeting. I asked for croissants and brioche. "With sugar or praline?" she asked. "Don't you have any large plain brioches?" I then inquired. The red-haired saleswoman then intervened, telling her colleague, "Wait for the large brioche, I have orders..." After two minutes, and after the saleswoman who was helping me found the right size bag for my two croissants, she asked her colleague again, I received a negative response regarding the purchase of the brioche, because there were orders... it was 7:45 a.m.! I've been a customer of this bakery for over fifty years, but this is the last straw. I left the croissants and went to Grasset in Les Halles. A well-stocked display, a smile, plain brioche. Villaret, you've definitely lost a customer.

03/08/2024: We came here by chance and saw Mojito and Daiquiri banana on the menu. These were perfectly prepared, one of the best mojitos I have ever had. The prices of the cocktails are very democratic. Decided to come back later to eat. This was also very good! Good service and pleasant atmosphere. Highly recommended!

02/08/2024: We really liked this restaurant, the waitress is great, we had a board of cold cuts and cheese, a bowl of fries and a bowl of salad. Simple and good food.

07/07/2025: Back again 2025. The new system for ordering and serving works well and the food and drink is as good as ever. Went back this June, 2022. Definitely improved service and pastries and drinks as good as ever. I wonder how the small staff would cope with a rush but pleased to see some return to form. My one-star review of a year or two back follows. What they serve is still pretty good but the service is laughably bad; rude, disinterested, error-prone. One can hardly believe that the managers of this place have let it slip so far from its former eminence in the vicinity.

05/07/2025: Great place for brunch - had a delicious iced café au Lait with coconut milk and the eggs Benedict. The price was very reasonable. They made my bacon crispy just as I asked, which is not something a lot of places are willing to accommodate, so I was extremely grateful. All the staff we interacted with were lovely and kind. The negative reviews I saw seemed to come from entitled or impatient customers. We saw several ourselves who didn't seem to notice the signs on all the tables stating you need to order inside. The interior is beautiful anyways so it's a great opportunity to look at the original architecture. If we have time I'll definitely be back for another iced café! Thank you so much!

15/06/2024: Very very little meat, and not good at all. It's not free though. I would rather starve than eat at your place, sir.

04/06/2024: Filthy whether it's the kebab or the fries. To flee

01/10/2024: Excellent cuisine and pleasant service 😊

29/09/2024: Reservation for 8 p.m. arrived at 8:15 p.m. and table given. 1st and last experience. Thanks to the waitress

22/11/2025: The welcome and service were very friendly, the food was very good, and the value for money was excellent!

22/11/2025: Very warm welcome, excellent brandade nimoise, a great find

21/09/2024: After waiting 1 hour. Dry, cold burger. The spoons to eat the ice cream were missing. Decrease in quality of service and food.

21/09/2024: Eating this day waiting 45min and missing a drink and salad cutlery, I went to see a manager her only word sorry to us your order is lost she told me. Especially since on the application the order was ready not even a gesture, not at all commercial, I will not go back and in addition toilet not very clean with no toilet paper.

24/11/2024: Strong point: the restaurant is open on Sunday evening, a day when almost all restaurants in Nîmes are closed. Weak points: the diverse cuisine but not excellent and even less exceptional, the very long room service, the lack of staff

20/11/2024: A small Indian restaurant in the center of Nîmes, close to the arthouse cinema Le Sémaphore

21/11/2025: A very good hotel. We had a breakdown on the road and they accommodated us quickly and cheaply. Excellent service and facilities. Both the food and the rooms were great. We would definitely stay longer.

02/09/2024: Very warm welcome, excellent meal, just served a little too quickly. We had the main course at the start of the appetizer. The servers are very friendly.

01/09/2024: We went there with a reservation for the all-you-can-eat seafood buffet and there were only oysters and mussels that evening! Not even allowed a commercial gesture or anything! What a shame! As a result, 5 customers are lost for your establishment!

26/09/2024: Very good restaurant when it opens brightly on May 19

09/09/2024: Prices a little high on ice cream... the service is very good.
