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 g...
Unusually perhaps, we had not reserved or expected to stop at Alexandre 's restaurant . Friends were arriving at Nimes airport and we were ahead of time to pick them up. Signs led us to Alexandre 's and we happily found a table for 2. The ambiance was exquisite, beautiful views on all sides with flowers and banners of fabric in bright blue.

We did not see the 2nd star here and we don't understand how it can have been kept this year. Actually, we definitely had more interesting and tastier experiences in 1-star restaurants in the region.

Atmosphere: potentially nice terrace but, perhaps due to covid, our table was almost in the garden and under a tree: a barrel of bugs hit us, our table and even the plates during the evening. The staff offered to move us inside before...
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.
