The best restaurants Nîmes

Nîmes does not escape the very trendy taste of sushi, sashimi. Last creation, at the back of 2010, this new chic and contemporary snack, held by a French addict completely addict. Its raw and maki fish are tasty because sliced and made on site. No industrial delivery. But all this has an invaluable price: time. Count wide and, at midday, if you're in a hurry, waiting for its different pieces, which come to the gouttes, it can stress! If you want to forget his watch, you still have Zen with the Sakura formula, always announced by miso soupe soup and a tough white cabbage salad. Then arrivent, rice boulettes covered by a fine slice of salmon, tuna, sea bream, cuttlefish or shrimp. Maki, rolls of rice, are cerclés from a leaf of nori algae containing also salmon, tuna, cucumber or omelet. In sashimi or gunkan, no rice but more generous raw fish slices, served in an algal leaf. With the famous wasabi (relevée green mustard), marinated ginger or soy sauce. From time to time it is good and healthy.

This is the restaurant of the Best Western Hotel L'Orangerie held by the Pringalle family. But the semi gastronomic proposals of chef Erik Bache-Wiig and the pleasure of lunch or dinner in this green setting at the gates of Nîmes prompt us to recommend this table, even if you are not a guest of the hotel. Near the national 113, discover this park with century-old trees, protective trees, which keep you safe from road traffic if you decide to eat outdoors. On the plate, the land of the regions of the South is inspirational: foie gras, selle of lamb, fragmentation of Saint James, duck aiguillettes and serving the chocolate pyramid in liquorice, a recipe that comes straight from Uzès. Soon, the opening of a wellness area and a wine tasting shop and regional products.

Since there is a myriad of kébabs and sandwich in cities, there are also a plethora of pizzerias where you can eat locally or to take away. Fast urban catering is a lot of fun, especially with the public for whom the traditional restaurant is out of budget. Young people, students, employees are enthusiastic about pizza, especially when you have to run at lunchtime and be at work or in college, having barely taken the time to eat. The Mignon Pizza, with its handcrafted pasta, is a range of 38 pizzas that the map has been displaying for nearly twenty years, restaurant that has developed in Nîmes since it opened its third teaching. We're far from camarguais gastronomy, but it's not the same rate, and it's, don't have a fear of words, much better than a MacDo!

On a night street in Nîmes, where you can be served late, Lakayna is the oldest Maghreb restaurant in the city. Maintained by a Kabyle family, for nearly 20 years, this restaurant has maintained its course with the creation of a day tea salon in 2010. The beautiful display of pastries at the entrance makes it really tempting to try. Bois, octagonal, octagonal tables, colourful curtains, oriental music and oriental music, you will find North Africa in all its evocative decorum. The traditional and family kitchen is supervised by the Sympathique Sympathique, which likes spicy flavours, often sweet-salted, and the ras el hanoud (curry, cumin, turmeric). Pastillas, laminated to meat and cinnamon, hello and tagines, home specialities are served dildo. Lamb, chicken, merguez, hefta (white viande) or fish, seafood accompanied by a semolina of common wheat, vegetables and legumes (chickpeas). The gourmands will continue with desert cakes or faisselle to honey. All accompanied by a mint tea, of course.

Still so many fast-foods in Nîmes, especially on the top of Gambetta Boulevard or on the Rue de la République. Most of them are of Maghreb origin. There are few Turks who have set themselves on this ground, yet as everyone knows it is the Greeks then the Stambuliotes who invented the famous Oriental sandwich. Aydemir Anahtar, located in the capital Gardoise since the 90 s, opened its snack in 1994. Since then, the success of his formula is not dément. He and his employee do not have the same to prepare and toast Halal meat, guaranteed 100% veal. They know how to choose wheat breads and cakes at a good supplier in Avignon and, finally, they pass the white sauce, a smooth mixture of sesame cream, yogurt, garlic and herbs. In short, it is good and rich especially if, with the kebab kebab, you ask for filling (salad, onions, fries). Some prefer garlic-flavored garlic boulettes and herbs (köfte), or Turkish sausages, turkey steak, and merguez with fries or crushed wheat. Take the Turkish nougat (helva pistachio) at 2 € the slice.

The only Armenian restaurant in Nîmes, or in the department, the Keep Grill is the case of the Petrosyan family, which settled in the plot quarter in the 2010 th century. At the moment, the large glass refrigerator which welcomes you at the entrance gives a snack-bar air instead. But the smiling service of the boss, quick to explain the map, reassures you. Close to territories, Armenian cuisine is used by its Turkish neighbour, while developing its Russian side. Charcuterie, marinated égumes, grape leaves, laminated to meat, cheese… entries are without great originality. You can catch up on dishes, kievski, lamb boulettes or huge herbal sausages, which you can ask with boulghour and bohemian house. This eastern version of the ratatouille is served with great reinforcement of coriander, courgettes and aubergines. Lamb ou or beef, kébab adana and the famous dolma (cabbage, pepper and stuffed eggplant) also have spicy flavors, cumin, coriander, nutmeg. To discover!

Small room but broad ideas at Claude and Eliane, people from the North arriving in Nîmes to the Mont-Duplan district. Amateurs of exoticism, this is where you have to come when a little stuffed of the southerners kitchens, you are looking to discover another formula, which keeps the body. We warn you immediately, here we are among the ch, football fans (go lens!), amateurs of mussels-fries, of course fricandelle, that is, sausage cut in two in the direction of width. The royal is served with bacon, elongated of cheese or the Ch'ti plate, i. e. haché steak with double slices of lard, melted cheese, fries and salad. Get to the big appetites! For those who do not want to go down, there is always the chicken to the Provençal.

In this old walk, held by two sympathetic ladies, Danielle Aubert and Lucette Soubeiran, we feel, from the beginning, a small, familiar aroma that emerges from the cooking plates: it is chestnut flour, which adds to the dough of buckwheat or wheat, makes it more fragrant. Summarily presented but copious, these pancakes can satisfy the great appetite. Tradition and regionalism on salt with some originality of armoricaine inspiration, such as the galette galette to crayfish sprinkled on leeks or the galette of Saint-Jacques walnuts caught in a fatty liver sauce. As a sweet side, discoveries are also legion. Bold, successful sets that build on a, map.

The Nîmo-Nîmois can tell you that the only advantage of this Chinese restaurant is its privileged location, its large terrace, which will fit into the crown square. It would be without counting the excellence of its Cantonese cuisine. You can draw on the cute map and discover amazing agreements. You can also, without trying to make the original, satisfy you with tasty nems, noodles, crunchy vegetables and noix nuts, a complete my or half-chicken in. You will not be disappointed by the thousands and a way to cook duck, fish, beef, crustaceans: impeccable presentation of the dishes, courtesy of the service, advice on the dishes, speed up to relevance on the choice of regional wines. The Hongyun is one of the best restaurants in Nîmes.

In search of a completely Iberian atmosphere, the Casa Blanca is certainly the address to be missed! The atmosphere, décor, dishes and warm welcome make you travel to Andalusian land. At the corner of Fresque Street, the Casa Blanca uses the entire ground floor of the arched building (ex-Truie which is a former nîmoise canteen). We're going back to the bar to discover a burial of rooms with whitewashed walls, cool in summer. In the patio, the groups like to find themselves and carry out the soul of the feria all year round. The southern cuisine is inspired by Andalusian family preparations. The tapas have character. The abundant list sings Spain from land: chorizo iberico de Bellotta, espinacas con garbanzos, patatas aliñadas… The copiers in the wood fire use only Mebrac or Lozère meat. False beef filet, lamb chops, blends… good slices accompanied by the legendary house purée, a crushed potatoes of Provençal tomatoes. Iberian products, Andalusian grandmother cuisine, Languedoc wines, unpretentious desserts. At the Casa Blanca, we got it for his money. An authentic restaurant of the Ecusson, with a young, festive and flamenca atmosphere.

Pizza on site, to take, or to deliver.

Audrey, Marion and Elodie, three Sparkling Sparkling, know how to wear this lesson with smile and good humour. The big slate, at the entrance to their restaurant, announce the colour of the dishes. Undresses on. Jars in jars are irresistible. Recipes are house and season fruits and vegetables… everything served with madeleines of course!

Julien is the conductor of this resolutely well integrated and recognized establishment in Nîmes. Here, the shades of grey blend harmoniously with the lighting, and add to this place the touch of modernism that corresponds in every way to the cuisine concocted by the chef. Julien, former kitchen assistant of the Arpège, masters cooking perfectly and knows how to add the inventive touches that enhance dishes. Add a wine list of more than 70 regional references. A stone's throw from the Maison Carrée, this is a gastronomic stopover not to be missed

Carlos Gardel and Maradona dominate the wall, the national flag, the Latin music, the decor is planted: La Pampa is the Embassy of Argentina in Nîmes. A small restaurant, which is located in the beginning of 2000 in a rue de Nîmes, where the world tables hold the top of the pavement. The cook will vary the offers around the specialities of his country, long influenced by successive European immigration, especially Italian. Morcillas and faïnas (chick patties) are topped with generous beef pieces, the soup in the quinoa is beside a spicy sausage. The very popular empanadas are small, salted slippers filled with meat, cheese, vegetables, etc. There are plenty of possibilities. In the room, Romi informs customers about menus or wines, which are also American. The Malbec dominates and allows you to taste this French grape for a long time under-exploited in our region. But before, ask a maté to discover the typical drink of Argentina. A dépaysante address where the reception is nice.

Near the Semaphore and the Prolé, this Indian restaurant is the perfect relaxing place, the little Zen space where dinner after a film or concert. Here after 22 p. m., you are still receiving a smile and without pressing. Typical dishes from Northern India such as biryani (chicken, fish, shrimp, lamb or vegetables…) are cooked with rice in sauce sauce. To savour its finesse, taste basmati rice nature, just sauté oil and cardamom. All vegetarian dishes, the soup of lentils (dhal), potato curry, green beans, spinach (aloo palaak) are associated with the famous Nan, the white flour that the French appreciate to the cheese. The nan with vegetables is more subtle in the mouth. The waitress in shimmering sari, her magnetic smile, Indian classical music offers an authentic change. At the walls, a permanent exhibition of the travel images of a young Nîmois in the 60 s and memories of a mythical India that the Ganesh, in all simplicity, did not betray. Le Petit Ganesh, rue Off is a snack of Indian specialities, held by the son of the house.

Upon opening in 1964, this restaurant is called Le Carlino, the name of its first owner. Since then, his successors have kept the name and the formula: a service of pizza and Italian cuisine. In a large rectangular room, with exposed stones at the walls, bright green woodwork and white beams, tables are adjustable, allowing group meals or intimes. In the other adjoining room, the pizzaïolo is active in the face of its wood oven, the essential accessory for successful pizzas. After enjoying regional salads, plats ravioli dishes, beef lasagna, gnocchis or soup with tomato sauce, basil, you can choose a pizza directly. For example, Vesuvio (mozarella, ham, peppers and aubergines) or Calabrian (beef, tomato, mozarella, cumin). Fine pasta, homemade sauces, spices on fresh ingredients (around 10 €). Very good chocolate foam, also home.

An address that combines traditional cuisine with traditional dishes on a place that is literally turned to the lunch break. As soon as it is fine, the terraces animate. Between Rosemary, Délicafé, Blender, Casa Chica, you have an embarrassment. Here the sandwiches are accompanied by salads whose seasoning is made home (well!). Spreads, carpaccio of zucchini, roasted peppers with olive oil, candied tomatoes Spanish tapas, an assortment that sings at Midi. More cooked are day dishes (fresh meat and fish/fresh vegetables), sesame oil and Italian pasta. Great map of teas and coffees. 

In the sweeping of the sushi-bars that hit Nîmes, the fact that a national chain finds a room in front of the Bullring, instead of the Libanim square, is symptomatic of the underlying trend. A nice restaurant, design decor, where noon and evening we come to eat maki trays, sashimi, classic sushi or chirashi (fine slices of raw fish in a large bowl of vinaigré rice). The interest of this new restaurant, besides the pleasant place, is the possibility of eating something other than raw fish. Then ask for a large bowl of grilled, Japanese rice-bottom sesame or yakitori formulas (skewers beef au, boulettes and caramelized chicken slices to soy sauce). Entrée or wakamé salads, an Asian legume that resembles the small beans and desserts (cheese-cake au, financier financier, lemon macaroons) are also original. The missing link between the Shogun and sushi-bars.

So discreet on the street of the Republic that a narrow sidewalk panel must announce it, this Saigon Palace is more often open than it is suspected. It is that the antichambre (a basin and false suspension bridge) distances from the bustle of the street the beautiful square square. Then, please do not hesitate, you will have the insurance to eat Asian, quietly and for cheap. Vietnamese, Chinese and Thai cuisine in various formulas will be served by the stove itself (mother) while her daughter took the order beforehand. Salad with soy shoots, nems, bo! (full dish), dau cuôn (Vietnamese rice pancakes), Saint-Jacques shells in citronella, pot with seafood, saté beef on hot plate, everything is tasty. This restaurant, just a few steps away from the arena, is still very popular. Litchee on the cake, a little psychedelic jazz rock music during the meal.

Amateurs of orientalism, exoticism to the Thousand and a Night may be disappointed by discovering Le Djerba. A terrace under bâche (winter), a counter that holds more than a snack than a real restaurant, this is for the basic decor… For the rest, i. e. the essentials, what is on the plate: no mistake, we're at the right address! The couscous, of course, from the simplest (vegetables, bouillon, wheat semolina) to the most royal, such as the Berber served with five meats (chicken, sheep, merguez, boulettes, kebab) are served in beautiful terracotta plates filled with semolina and chickpeas and vegetables raised in spices, notamment in particular. And if Mohammed Bencherifa has had his place for a long time on Victor Hugo Boulevard, without doing more salamalecs, there is one reason: Its kitchen of Magrehb (grill, salads, tajines, oriental pastries) and its mint tea are really good.

The first Réunion restaurant in Nîmes, Le Straw en Queue has been quietly located in the city. Its mysterious name is borrowed from a beautiful marine bird, an emblem of the island. A family case where you feel the presence of the mother, a good cook that flies over the recipes of the Indian Ocean and the son, nice to service. In a very wise atmosphere, the by a chaloupé musical background, we discover a multicultural map that regularly enriched new specialities. As an aperitif, ti-punch, with rum Carts, agricultural distillery of Réunion, always accompanied by a mixed plate of hot starters: samoussas, pork ravioli of Chinese origin, not forgetting sweet peppers, delicious pucks to chickpeas, grass and corn, a little bit but not too much. There is a white and red cabbage salad and the famous sausage rougaille, a typical Réunion dish, a seasoning made of onions, chopped cabbage, spices (curry, turmeric), basmati rice and a pink lentil puree, with Indian inspiration. And, dessert, exotic fruit salad, coconut pie, Bourbon vanilla ice or tiramisu? Look for the mistake!

What exactly is Halal meat? For meat to be Halal, the animal must be stuck in accordance with the precepts of Islam. Hence the controversy! But by this the idea of community fast food, this type of snack is calling. In any case, to see all these young people, in the beautiful days, who settle on the terrace of the snack, at 21 Gambetta Boulevard, we say that the formula has the merit of existence. At the outset, she was able to fédérer her audience. there are fans of the famous hot sandwich (especially not grilled or crunchy), with its Biggy-burger sauce that looks like Big Mac sauce from Mac Do! But the average ticket is higher than that spent in other international fast restaurants.

The only snack of the 7 Hills, with relocated and large surfaces (Leader Price, Bio Coop, Asia Market) is at the height of this somewhat alternative shopping centre. If quiches, bogeyman and other pizzas remain in normality, it's good hot pasta dishes, served in cornet, with homemade sauces, rich oak, vegetarian, meat or fish and the wide variety of original, cold or hot sandwiches that make the difference. For example, grassland (Serrano, salad, goat, fresh mint, hazelnut, sauce in cereals bread) or Canadian végétatien (brie, rockets, sprouted seeds, maple sirot in poppy bread). Also wraps, seasonal soups, salads, lentilles, quinoa seeds, etc., classic desserts and quantity of fruit and vegetable juices, smoothies, green tea… the map brings added value on the diet.

All here is in agreement with the traditions camarguaises! The bull is present and the brandade, specialty of the heritage nîmois, is also impossible to circumvent. The reception is cordial and friendly. Member of the Brotherhood of the restaurateur of trade of Gard, the cuisine of this restaurant is traditional and authentic. The roots of Provence are asserted here decor with the dish: warm colors of the walls patinated with old or specialties which decline eggplants, zucchinis, tomatos, olive oil, tapenade, brandade, all here has the meridian accent. With rooms of variable capacity, the restaurant is as well adapted to the private conversation as with the great banquets, from 50 to 500 seats!

To dine in a London bus, you would have thought of it? An innovative concept from the ideas of Audrey, who found his niche after resigning from the police. A daughter of two cooks, she finally perpetuates the family's culinary tradition by juggling the taste of home fact and local fresh products. At noon, choose the English base (English muffin with cheddar, an egg and salad). Keep on flat on chicken blanquette and potatoes in the oven. In dessert, feuilleté feuilleté with caramel votre your meal. Another day you will have rabbit legs in honey and rosemary. Dessert and entry will depend on what it finds to the market.

A table!

The Epicurien has the chance to live on an historic square in old Nîmes, in the picturesque area of the Littré Island, with the strong medieval and Renaissance. The Moroccan restaurant can set its tables in the courtyard and enjoy a terrace, where you feel cut off from the urban world, quiet in the shade of the venerable linden. The map offers the oriental specialities you love: The royal hello of the four meats, a feast for the eyes and the taste buds, is reserved for the big meat appetites. Végétarien vegetarian, very colourful, compensates extensively for the variety of its vegetables, legumes and cereals, which it does not have in meat. The creamy lamb mouse stew has salty sweet flavours with cinnamon perfumed prunes. Other grilled meat dishes, such as the honey of honey, lemons in candied lemons but also Moroccan salad and kémias are all alternatives to traditional hello-tajines. So do not hesitate, pass the porch and discover the intimate room of L'Epicurien, which - success oblige - gives you great incentive to book your table before coming: The weekend is often full!

Hard to go on this small street which, in its time, hosted an excellent pizzeria, whose amateurs still remember. Il Palermo left the place at Veneziano, Sicily in Veneto. The young and friendly welcome, the pizzaïolo acrobatics and the low prices attract the young people who celebrate Victor Hugo. Lasagna or truffles are honourable, but the choice of pasta is always limited. In the entrées of starters, the meats do not come all of the studios or the famous Italian grocery store of Escutcheon, but the roulé of raw ham or ham marinated with juniper berries are to be tested. Pizza question, they are copious and provided (you can even win the rest if you have too much!). Desserts are good: panacotta, tiramitsu or, more original, bunet, chocolate cake, with amaretto and bitter almonds. Marco also holds Le Tango, the restaurant opposite, with specialities of fresh pasta and Piedmont cuisine.

A few steps from the bullring and opposite the Daudet lyceum, this small Asian snack with its terrace on the boulevard has some advantages. The price of affordable menus and fast service. His tables at midday are being stormed by bands of happy high school students! Menus are well served and generally watering although the quality has nothing to do with other Vietnamese or Chinese restaurants in the city. Do not take the chicken-based menu, which is reserved for solid stomachs…

For the past Six Years, Jean-Luc Delpierro, also owner of the Unexpected in Langlade, serves traditional cuisine that is enjoyed in the west of Nîmes. With a choice of three formulas (full menu, à la carte or midi formula), the entire family is mobilized to seduce you. Couscous, paella, sauerkraut, cassoulet, veal head, snails, spider pig with herbs of Provence… The dish changes every lunchtime and it's 90% home. They will not be kept rigorous for the remaining 10%: with such a selection of traditional dishes, you can't do everything yourself!

Around the Semaphore, in this Quartier/Porte de France area, where the world's cuisines come closer, Nîmes shows a beautiful cosmopolitan face. In front of the Ganesh, the Rajput is the other good Indian restaurant, Rajasthan exactly, even if the boss is Pakistani. Here you will also be greeted after 22 h with a smile. The map offers a rich list of typical dishes, many white meats, skewers, tandooris, spicy fish, seafood or vegetarian plates (from 8 €). Everything is colourful and reasonably recorded.

Traditional gay restaurant, but not only, at the friendly welcome. A beautiful place that smells the old stones and flowery bouquets. In the kitchen there is a seasonal kitchen, varying according to the markets and the mood of the chef. It is good and fresh, and of course at a price: average ticket 30 €. A classic of "gay life.

Held long by a Couple couple, this restaurant is nestled in a very discreet alley of Escutcheon. The facade does not pay a mine. However, do not hesitate to push the door of this restaurant where it makes good eating Asian in the beautiful dining room on round tables with tablecloths and orchids in the vase. The map combines Chinese, Vietnamese, Lao and Thaies specialities. Pho soup, tom yan (shrimp and slightly spicy) and lap, rarely present on maps of other Asian restaurants, reassure the insiders. At noon, classic and copious plates (Vietnamese salad, nems, meat skewers, Cantonese rice) are at 8 € and 10 €. This restaurant won't be known: It is a good place to stay in the heart of the city.

Orientalisante decoration with white warheads, decorative tiles and wooden tables… no mistake, we're in a Moroccan restaurant, one of the best in the city. Low tables, cushions and soft light plunges you into the atmosphere of the Medina, especially on weekends when dancers animate the evenings or, during the summer, during green tea, which is taken on the terrace under the Berber tent. For traditional dishes, you can choose between several formulas, several varieties of couscous and tajines, of the simplest, the vegetarian, the most royal of meat, semolina, vegetables. In the entrance you can taste the pastillas (rolls of rolling bricks, stuffed with pigeon or chicken) and wines, which also come from the other side of the Mediterranean and accompany them very well. Finally, to extend total immersion, another mint tea is requested. Friendly staff like in Morocco!

For the good named Passage from Virginia, positive opinions converge and make that, in this périmêtre of Escutcheon, it dominates. She is Virginie Grangier and will not seek any control over the street. It is just that his open kitchen brings together the Mediterranean and the whole world at his table: Thai salad, small octopus octopus, canard duck and citrus fruit. The salads of the salads are inventive, playing on the sweet salé, herbs and spices are present while fresh pasta, al dente, fluffy with the flavours of the sea, makes Italy dream. Only incartatade, goat cheese… a rocamadour… would have preferred a small "! In short, a little excentrique restaurant, with its red vaults and its arty and vintage ambience, where the good festive spirit of the server and the original plates are at the meeting.
