We were part of a group tour staying in West Nimes at a hotel with predefined dinners. I didn't want lasagna (!), I wanted French food. So we walked over to this little place for dinner. My daughter ordered a cheeseburger. While they said she couldn't specify how it was cooked (e.g. medium rare) it was a perfect medium, pink in the middle. My spouse ordered the duck. It was the best duck I've ever tasted, not greasy yet tender and juicy. And while the skin was not crispy because of the sauce, it was not fatty. I ordered the grilled beef. I have no idea what cut of meat it was (undefinable shape), but it was tender enough. I really liked their Charmelcia sauce which is on all their meats. It went well with my beef and the duck. The salad was the same we seemed to get everywhere - just lettuce, with a very mild dressing. I didn't translate that the fries are bottomless; the portion they gave us was plenty for the three of us. For dessert, I ordered the Ananas chantilly (ou fraises). I didn't bother to translate what it was; I thought it was bananas or strawberries (even though I know the word is "bananes"). She said they didn't have strawberries (not in season in late June?) so I had the pineapple. I would have preferred bananes, but it was refreshing. Our server was pleasant and efficient. She didn't speak much English (which I enjoyed) but with my limited French and hand gestures, we communicated just fine. My family was glad I found this place, to have an authentic French dinner. And you can't beat the "Formule Unique" fixed meal price of $15.90 Euros!

Everything is very good and reasonably priced. The service was very good. We came unexpectedly on a weekday evening.
Super pleasant exterior, top service, delicious meal 👌👍 thank you for the little attentions for my husband's birthday 🥳
Very good value for money, with very friendly staff. This is the 4th time we've come and we enjoy it every time.
Lunch on the terrace, warm welcome, pleasant server and dishes always so good especially with the famous sauce.
