The story
At the heart of Nîmes, within the historic Margaret Hôtel Chouleur, Gigi, Table Méditerranéenne offers a dining experience that draws deeply from the flavors of the region. The restaurant’s menu is built around Mediterranean cuisine, reflecting the sun-drenched landscapes of Provence, Camargue, and the Cévennes. The setting is equally compelling: the hotel itself is a carefully restored 17th-century residence, with a monumental staircase, a library, and a courtyard that evoke the quiet elegance of the city’s Roman heritage.
The kitchen focuses on fresh, seasonal ingredients, presenting dishes that are both refined and rooted in local tradition. Guests can choose from a set lunch menu or a full dinner service, and the restaurant also offers a chef’s table for those seeking a more intimate view of the culinary process. The atmosphere balances the formality of fine dining with the warmth of a welcoming table—suited for private parties, events, or a simple evening out.
Gigi’s recognition by the Michelin guide underscores its commitment to quality and consistency. The award, earned in 2026, places the restaurant among the recommended addresses in Nîmes, a city already celebrated for its Roman arenas and the nearby Pont du Gard. For travelers exploring the region, Gigi provides a natural pause: a meal that captures the essence of Mediterranean cooking without pretense, served in a space where history and modern comfort meet.
