Duende! Come and see how the arts of bullfighting and flamenco dancing have set fire to the imagination of Pierre Gagnaire. The fine dining establishment of the Hotel Imperator has its own separate entrance, in line with the chef’s independent spirit. Premium ingredients, proven technical expertise, spontaneity and originality. The tasting menu pays a subtle tribute to the finest produce from the Gard and the Mediterranean region (Baron des Cévennes pork, vegetables from small market gardeners, fish from the Mediterranean) in subtle, delicate dishes.

This gourmet bolthole located behind the Arènes, just opposite the Musée de la Romanité, is run by chef Damien Sanchez, a local boy with stints at the Cabro d'Or, La Réserve de Beaulieu, Christopher Coutanceau in La Rochelle and, finally, in his hometown alongside Jérôme Nutile. Damien’s cooking hits the spot every time, thanks to a strong focus on vegetables and crisp, vibrant flavours that showcase regional ingredients: shrimps from Grau-du-Roi cooked in stock, bavaroise of broccoli and a spring roll of green cabbage stuffed with shrimps; lightly seared John Dory, grilled squash and a honey

This magnificent 15C town house is home to a fine dining restaurant which sports a plush velvety interior and a huge counter separating the room and the kitchen. Former second of Georgiana Viou, chef Luka-Tao Debenath deploys his creative streak in appetisers like a grassy runner bean jus followed by a starter of brioche bread roll stuffed with garlic-laced brousse cheese, lemon and mint, crunchy beans, samphire and garlic flowers. This may then be followed by grey mullet breaded in fig leaf and served chilled with garden tomatoes and fresh herbs, a tarragon bearnaise sauce and a tomato water.

Veteran chef Jérôme Nutile is far from a rookie: "Meilleur Ouvrier de France" 2011, he notably presided over the heyday of Hostellerie Le Castellas, in Collias. In his Nîmes headquarters, a converted farmhouse, he celebrates the seasons: melt-in-the-mouth leeks cooked over Camargue fleur de sel, fondant of wild salmon confit; the iconic French hare ‘à la royale’ cooked two ways - in the style of Antonin Carême and Senator Couteaux's recipe, beautifully executed and equally tasty. Add to this slick friendly service and a fantastic list of regional wines, and you have everything you could ask fo

In the annex of his Michelin-starred restaurant, Jérôme Nutile offers a market-fresh slate menu. The culinary line-up takes a new look at textbook Gallic classics and smacks of bistronomic creativity. Examples include creamy artichoke soup jazzed up with truffle oil and foie gras; a half duckling cooked over embers with a honey and thyme sauce; fish of the day from Grau-du-Roi fish auction; a sweet-toothed creamy vacherin with chestnut ice cream and a blackcurrant coulis.

You will need to ring the bell at this discreet townhouse in a narrow street near the Carré d'Art in order to gain access. The self - taught chef composes lovely creative cuisine, striking out and experimenting with at times surprising combinations. His wife is behind the superb selection of wines, which showcases the Languedoc - Roussillon.

This contemporary brasserie – part of the Musée de la Romanité – is perfectly in tune with the architecture of the building. It offers an unobstructed view of the Arènes de Nîmes (or amphitheatre), as well as a seasonal menu overseen by Michelin-starred chef Franck Putelat. Tuck into true traditional French cuisine: egg meurette (in a red wine sauce); calf sweetbreads and mashed potatoes with Maury jus; trout meunière; and even the iconic crêpes Suzette...

"Drink, eat, share" is the mantra here at Gigi, the charming bistro alongside fine dining restaurant Rouge. The chef is a fan of putting his own spin on hearty dishes designed for sharing: sea bream ceviche with sweet pepper, coriander and apple; rib of beef, gratin dauphinois, braised baby gem and a robust jus; jasmine tea and passion fruit pavlova... On fine days, dine in the pleasant main courtyard.
