Gault&Millau's review

18/20

Prestige Restaurant We're regularly called upon to answer the question many people ask: what is a great table, and what are the tangible, indisputable elements that set it above the rest? We're sometimes tempted to cite a few addresses by way of example, rather than launch into long speeches. And this beautiful ochre and red rendered house, just a stone's throw from Nîmes and its airport, can be taken as a yardstick. It's not the most luxurious, nor the one with the most unforgettable view (but the garden, though bordered by a busy road, is delightful), but you're bound to have a wonderful time here, because the products are always top-of-the-range, the cooking dazzling and the service top-notch. Let yourself be carried away by the "eight emotions" menu, which begins with a dazzling amuse-bouche based around pink radish, then coaxes you with magnificent Mediterranean shrimp and cauliflower (with a smoky cream that will bring tears to your eyes) before knocking you over with the controlled power of a creamy Galician sea urchin, Jerusalem artichokes and bergamot. The desserts are magical (and presented on a custom-designed cart on wheels that opens like a precious chest before the wide-eyed customers) and the cellar, packed with superb references at fair prices, is unbeatable in the Languedoc wine region. Michel Kayser, who this year celebrated forty years of Alexandre with his wife Monique, can be proud of the history, the transmission to his young teams, and the durability of this unique house.
