Alexandre - Garons

This restaurant is well worth the journey. The food is spectacular, and the staff are all very friendly and accommodating. The only issue we had was when sat outside for our aperitif, you are right next to Nimes airport runway so can be noisy for a minute of two as planes come and go. We will definitely be returning, really special place. Michel Kayser even drove us back to our hotel, how many 2* chefs would do this for their clients!? Amazing service.

We ate here recently with three other couples, expecting to be WOWed by the food, wine and service. Only the food held par. We opted for the wine paring on the 8 course menu, thinking that such a fine establishment would pair the wines in interesting ways (and despite the fact that two of those in attendance are major wine geeks who could have dissected the long list with no problems). While the overall service was generally lacking for a michelin starred restaurant, the wine service was worse than even some lowly bistro. The pours were highly inconsistent, some glasses received a centimeter of wine while the neighboring glass was poured 1/2 full. The server often sloshed the wine into the glasses, often missing and dripping on plates and tablecloths. There seemed to be no logic to the choices- the first wine poured was re-poured for the second course despite the flavor profiles being entirely in conflict with the food. And this happened twice! Four courses only had two different wines. This is unheard of in fine dining, as far as I am concerned. Further, the wine would often be poured so early it would be warm by the time the food arrived, or so late we were mostly through the course we had in front of us. Again, unbelievable for such a restaurant. But worst of all- the wine was so incredibly pedestrian and mediocre we were stunned. The second major ding against this establishment was a bit out of their control but poorly managed as far as we were concerned. The week had been beautiful dry and perhaps a bit too hot. We started the meal with everyone else in the garden. Unfortunately, thunder boomed in the distance and rain was clearly on the way. Instead of moving us inside, the servers clearly rushed us into the fish course, dropping the plates onto our table just as big fat rain drops were hitting. Most of has taken one or two bites when the skies opened and we all jumped up and ran inside. Fortunately they were prepared (in theory) with the same amount and size of table inside as out. But setting up tables for the entire population of diners proved well beyond their capacity in a timely manner. Meanwhile we sat at a bare table with no wine, no water and in a sweltering dining room. The AC did not make a dent in the conditions of the room for the rest of the meal. When service finally resumed, we were presented with the next course! When paying these prices, we all expected to be served the fish course again. Or a new and different course. But we never imagined that they were going to just skip past an entire course. Again, the rain was not their fault, and they did try to get service up and going as quickly as possible. But this could not have been the first time they had to do such a thing (clearly they either served the entire restaurant outside or in, based on the conditions). To have not been better prepared, or even more gracious in the inconvenience, was just another ding in our experience. To end on a positive note- the food was borderline amazing, with a high degree of sophistication and expertise which, had the rest of the experience been anywhere NEAR, would and should have left us speechless. Sad that nothing else even came close.

I booked for a surprise birthday with the team's complicity. I have only one word: perfect! from our arrival to our departure, everything was done to please, to treat and surprise us. from aperitif to dessert, to explosions in the mouth, to flavours, associations, sensations. An exceptional moment! Our taste buds are still in awe. the two stars are widely deserved and the establishment really worth the detour. a beautiful garden, a very cozy room, an original dishes and a team of remarkable kindness! You must not hesitate to push the doors of this beautiful place for a crunchy trip! Bravo!

An excellent address. the setting is superb, the reception is very warm. staff and bosses put their customers at ease very quickly and the kitchen is divine. We had a very good time.

A wonderful gift "sublimated natural" .. from the arrival this star seduces you with its park composed of splendid centenary trees ideal for aperitif and coffee. service is very pleasant, full of smiles. The dishes are beautiful and burst into the mouth. a very nice address.
