美丽的假日公寓在尤兹，带阳台

In a picturesque village not far from the Pont-du-Gard, Denis Martin (ex The Marcel) and his wife Joana have set up shop in a handsome limestone building. The chef crafts spot-on, expressive dishes, in which lamb from Les Baux, Mediterranean seabass and the rich Occitan terroir take centre stage – to be savoured on the terrace or in the bright interior. A champion of regional produce, the chef crafts a festival of spot-on, well-balanced dishes. The weekday lunchtime menu is excellent value for money. Why not stay overnight in one of the attractive guestrooms and enjoy the swimming pool? In a n

Courgette flower soufflé, trout, sorrel from the garden and chanterelles; blue lobster roasted in its juices, white polenta with basil; verbena-infused apricots, red and black berries: Jean-Paul's seasonal cuisine wins diners over with its precision and generosity. Sandrine's solicitous welcome, the impeccable service and the hushed atmosphere in the two cosy lounges – just like home – add to the appeal of this restaurant nestled in a peaceful village a few kilometres from Uzès. Another highlight is the show cellar with its superb selection of local wines.

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

Young chef Hugo Mercier, who has worked at La Table d'Uzès and La Table du Castellet (during the Christophe Bacquié and Fabien Ferré periods), has learnt his trade in the finest kitchens! This conscientious chef is passionate about what he does, as well as being a stickler for house-made dishes and keeping things seasonal. That means he makes all the sauces, ice creams and other preparations himself. The lunchtime set menu, in step with the market stalls, changes every week. It is complemented at lunch and dinner by a more ambitious set menu, which is renewed every month – and even a vegetaria

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.

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

Chef Krishna Léger, who was a fireman before turning to cooking later in life, regales us with bistronomic fare, in which he blends local ingredients with globetrotting influences: Thai-style beef salad with guacamole; lamb confit with spices and carrot mousseline. Given the ultra-fresh ingredients, generous helpings and sensibly priced predominantly organic wine list, this eatery will lure you back, again and again!
