From its discreet façade on a quiet side street, you'd never guess that this restaurant is home to an impossibly romantic lamplit courtyard garden and some of Nîmes' most inventive and artistic high-end cooking. Dishes use premium produce from Languedoc (fresh fish, pork, veal and oysters, among others). Pick from its long and choice selection of French wines.
