Pink radish, first dish. No addition of salt or citrus. Crisp on top had gone soft and chewy. Brunoise raw radish underneath. Soft flavours, boring first dish. No fiery radish notes. Prawn, 2nd. Prawn shell puree, gritty, again no salt. No pure enjoyable Prawn head flavour. Cauliflower garnishes, no salt or flavour. Cauliflower vail, covering the prawn tartar tart just tasted of nothing, over set with the gelling agent. Prawns were nice. Some cubes of jelly, which again I have no idea of the flavour it was supposed to be. Enjoyable smoked almond cream. 3rd, tomatoes. Big dice tomatoes, with a cardamon and cocoa tuile, I think it was cocoa. The tuile was nice, intense and strong, worked well...
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. Food: nothing exceptional nor memorable, bland tastes, creams and mousse EVERYWHERE give the impression that every dish is the same, in texture but not only. Two plates were even visually quasi-identical (maybe a choice of the chef, but not one of interest for us). 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.
What a meal. We had the 8-course dinner, and what a treat it was. I can not even decide which course was my favorite because every single dish was outstanding. Really cute is the Bibliothek des Gourmandises . The wine pairing is reasonably priced and well-matched.
What an experience. The food combination is amazing. All taste are genially balanced and the wine matching package is a must. The decor is fabulous.
