"Mouthwatering food and lovely service! Their season-changing menu leaves one open to spontaneity. A must-visit."

"This was our second time visiting Nîmes and our first time dining at GAMEL Restaurant, which was a 4 minute walk away from the Air BnB we were staying in.
The service from the friendly and helpful staff was exceptional, and the food served was to the highest standard! My wife had two courses and I had three. Everything on the plate served a purpose and complimented the whole dish. You could tell that the chef gave a lot of thought to using seasonal ingredients.
Our waitress was very knowledgeable and took the time to describe each dish and the recommended wine to pair. We both finished with a digestif. The Japanese whiskey was sublime. 👌🏾
I would highly recommend dining here and we intend on returning during our next visit to the beautiful city of Nîmes. ❤️"

Cinq restaurants à tester à Nîmes, des Halles aux étoilés
Sur une placette arborée ornée de guirlandes, Cristian Moisa et sa compagne, Morgane André, réduisent les jus, et les tarifs. Menu à partir de 19 euros pour une cuisine efficace qui a beaucoup de goût, même pour les plats les plus simples comme cette savoureuse tomate pailletée de jambon serrano. Le chef est aussi un virtuose des sauces, très concentrées, comme il le prouve avec sa gardianne de taureau.
Nîmes: The ‘secret’ French city with a denim legacy and world champion burger chef
I spend my last evening at Gamel, the kind of perfect, cosy, provincial French restaurant on a little square you dream about. The diners and owners are all wearing jeans. Indeed, it is a jeans kind of town: casual, relaxed, unpretentious, hard-working and a very comfortable experience.
Les meilleurs restaurants de Nîmes
C'est notre chouchou des restaurants bistronomiques à Nîmes. On sauce toujours son assiette chez Gamel. D’ailleurs ce mot de l’enfance rappelle que le repas est un moment d’abandon, celui où l’on redevient un peu un animal de plaisir.
