Hôtel Restaurant L' Escale — Restaurant in Nîmes

Had a lunch here having spent the morning on the beach at Grau du Roi next door. Warm Welcome, opted for the three course prix fixe for two. What a treat the Assiette of Charciuterrie included a few things you would expect and some to surprise. The chilled black pudding was fab as was the Pork Pie lined with pate, these were helped along by a local wine and a huge plate of sweet pickle. Main was steak frite, or more like 12oz entrecote and a kilo of chips. the steak was superb rare to perfection, so good that most of the chips were abandonned. Deserts were the trad french selection as well as cheese. I think, with great service throughout, the three course for two, including a half of wine for €50 was great value, maybe a bit heavy for lunchtime but thats probably why a siesta was needed on the grass across the road by the waterway/canal! After this we gave the town a good look over this was very pleasant too, and then the 1€ train...

i could have added " at the very best price in town " to the opening line but that would have been too much.||||The hotel is not above the restaurant, but about 400 metres distant , over the bridge beyond the Tour Constance, so there is no noise at all. It is in an excellent location with public-parking around the back ( paying 07:45 - 20: 45 ).||||||My room ( 12 ) was very modern, large, light and airy with a large , fully-tiled bathroom and open shower: the air-condition was quiet and effective. The only negative was that the plugs are under the window and next to the bed, but not under the small table where would make it so much easier to work. There is also an indoor-courtyard with chairs, small shrubs in containers where you could sit and relax if you wished.||||||This was real value at € 53 in...
