Monique
Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin
€€€€
Having left Duende in Nîmes, Julien Caligo has returned to his native Vaunage, setting up shop in a converted farm building that has been transformed into a contemporary dining space. The venue pays homage to his grandmother Monique, who passed down the fundamentals of cooking to him. Offering excellent value for money, the lunch tasting menu is a masterclass in technical skill. To start, focaccia with sweet Cévennes onions and a tartlet with smoked pike roe, followed by bonito, quinoa crunch and green asparagus – a starter with real bite – then hake, pressed pig's ear terrine, a bold and frag

Le Saint Hilaire

On the edge of the Cévennes, chef Sébastien Rath and his wife Gwladys are breathing new life into this old inn with a garden terrace and a lovely bright dining room decorated in a palette of soft hues. The chef's love of local produce never wavers, be it the ingredients (trout from Les Fumades fish farm, pigeon des Costières, fruit from the surrounding orchards, wild herbs etc), the cutlery on the tables or even the jeans manufactured in Lozère for his team! The blind menus reveal the inspirations of the seasons, every dish echoing the chef's sincerity and dedication.

Duende

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. The superb wine list of over 1,000 referenc

Le Patio by Lou Caléou
Modern Cuisine, Farm to table · Bib
€€
This restaurant centred on a charming patio used to be a wine storehouse and is now run by chef Guillaume Dercourt and pastry chef Amandine Sabot. The cooking is resolutely modern in style and draws playfully on the traditional French repertoire – fish rillettes with herbs and cream cheese; roasted scallops, creamy Camargue rice risotto with Parmesan and a sea urchin emulsion. Round off your meal with a delicious Paris-Brest. You're sure to fall hook, line and sinker for this place – not least for its gorgeous patio with old stone cobbles and featuring an olive tree!

Creative · ★ Michelin
€€€€
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.

Skab

€€€€
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

Jérôme Nutile
Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin
€€€€
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

La Réserve Rimbaud
Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin
€€€€
“Montpellier the Gifted”, as the city likes to bill itself, provides the backdrop to this well-hidden restaurant on the banks of the Lez. Slightly off the beaten track, it boasts a divine riverside terrace shaded by plane trees – a refreshing haven in hot summers. This modern and sophisticated Reserve is located in an old country house, an Ali Baba’s cavern of gourmet delights, unearthed from the little-known repertory of Languedoc-Roussillon. Former second of Alain Dutournier at the Carré des Feuillants, Charles Fontès signs intelligent compositions that revolves around the ingredient. Subtle
