"St Jean du Gard in the Cevennes, on the river Gard, is not a town where you would easily find a good or excellent restaurant. Many have closed over the years due to the banking led recession so to find this little gem was a real discovery.Outside, the restaurant (and indeed it is also a hotel to boot with rooms from £54/night) does not look very exciting. Entering the front door the place seems at first quite dead (we were there at about 7.30 pm). There are however plenty of dining tables and chairs indoors, scattered in several rooms. However, in the garden behind the restaurant, there sits an enormous oval shaped conservatory. It was here that we chose a table to dine. There were several menus at differing prices and also á la carte choices. The service was very responsive and although as a party of 4 adults and English, there were no hiccups in ordering. It helps enormously however to try and speak the language, usually appreciated. The service was prompt and attentive, the wine list very good. However, after having chosen a 3 course menu, we were quite taken aback by the sheer size of the plates and food thereon. A starter 'salad Cevennes' was so large, including plum tomatoes, ham, filo pastry, salad, pimentos, peppers, sauce etc. that is was surely enough to be a full meal. Next came the main dishes, ranging from fish/crevettes to meat or vegetarian. The baked potatoes were wrapped in foil with a garlic butter fill and the courgettes were filled with a tomato based paste. There were egg based vegetable pancakes, very moist and tasty. Again the food presentation was exemplary and imaginative.Before we had ploughed half way through our meals the conservatory began to fill up with locals. The atmosphere was very convivial and buzzing. It was some time before we could contemplate our dessert and coffee as we were that full. And by the way, this was a Wednesday night!I have attached some images of the food and presentation. I believe the menu was about €20/person excluding wine/drinks."
