Fodor's Expert Review L'Enclos de la Fontaine
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
Nîmes's fashionable postcorrida gathering spot is in the Art Deco Hotel Impérator, with warm-weather dining in an idyllic garden court. The food is hearty and delicious, with surprising Spanish touches. Chef Samuel Tingaud carefully structures his menu, sprinkling in dishes such as almond duck, dried cod stuffed in red peppers, and roasted lamb cooked in wild mint. Have an after-dinner drink in Bar Hemingway, so named because he loved to drink here.
