What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners rave about La Marmite's exceptional food quality, impeccable service, and cozy local atmosphere. The restaurant is praised for its affordable prices, especially the three-course lunch menu, and its unique natural wine selection. While the menu is concise, with limited daily specials, the kitchen's care and attention to detail shine through in every dish.
"We are a couple on our honeymoon and had previously eaten lunch out at a restaurant every day of our trip through Iceland, Amsterdam, and Brussels. All at top rated places.
This was the best lunch meal we have had on our trip so far. Everything was perfectly cooked and the ingredients fresh. You can feel the love from the kitchen and the attention to detail that they put in to every preparation.
It was also extremely affordable for the quality of the food. A wonderful meal."

"Small restaurant in the centre of Nimes. Service and food were impeccable. Great wine and desserts. There are only 2 dishes of the day available in the menu, so no kids menu, nuggets, steak haché etc. But the staff and the chef will find a way to serve a nice dish for children based on the daily menu. The two dishes we had, a steak dish and a vegetarian chili con carne, were amazing. Definitely going back soon!"

Restaurants in Nimes
On nice days, the lively scene in the dining room spills out onto a spacious terrace, though both are lovely places to enjoy something from the short menu of home-style dishes that's made even more irresistible by the fact that nothing on it costs more than €17 (three-course lunch menu, €16). Look for such comfort foods as spelt risotto with veal and cèpes or pork caillettes (meatballs) with chard and pickles; for dessert, consider the melting chocolate mousse cake that's just like the one grandmère makes.
