Le Bouchon et l'Assiette has held a Bib Gourmand for years and is among the most reliable contemporary tables in Nîmes. The cooking takes Languedoc and Provençal ingredients — lamb from the Cévennes, Camargue rice, garrigue herbs — in a refined modern direction. The dining room is small, simple, and unfussy.
The lunch menu is excellent value; the evening tasting menu is the full statement. Reservation essential; the room is small. Wine list emphasises Languedoc and Rhône estates.
