We had a wonderful meal at l'Olivier near Uzes, just 30 km away in June. I cannot recall why we skipped eating in Nimes but l'Olivier was worth the trip.

John -- you're not thinking of l'Oliveraie , in Beaucaire are you? At any rate my family and I had a lovely lunch there this summer, though I might not drive all the way from Nimes to dine there.

We also had an even better lunch at Au Plaisir des Halles, a Bib Gourmand (4 rue Littré F - 30000 NIMES Tel.: 04 66 36 01 02) which is walking distance from the sites. As I recall I had rascasse for the first time there. Wonderful. We have also heard good things about Le Bouchon et L'Assiette, but it had closed for vacation the week we were in the neighborhood.

While good, it wouldn't be worth it; I cannot find my notes from our prior visit to Nimes but you'll do fine.

There is a very good small simple restaurant in Nimes very close to the Maison Carré - recommended by the people in Auberge du Cedre (they have short list) but I think also perhaps somewhere on this site or perhaps on Graham Tigg's site.

yes - I've just found it as I checked the link - its the Vintage Café.
