Culinary specialities in Nîmes
If you're staying in Nîmes, a visit to Les Halles is a must: a festival of delights to be savoured without moderation! You won't want to miss the Picholine, the olive of Nîmes, an olive with abundant, firm and sweet flesh that can be crunched green.
As a starter, or as an aperitif, you'll succumb to tapenade (a paste of black or green olives mashed with anchovies) or anchoïade (anchovies mashed with olive oil and garlic) spread on toasted bread.
As a typical Nîmes dish, you can try brandade de Nîmes (cod brandade), or Gardianne de Taureau, bull marinated in red wine.
Nîmes has many specialities, including fougasse, a delicious bread pastry with lardons, different from the fougasse of Aigues-Mortes or Saint-Gilles, a brioche glazed with sugar and leavened with orange blossom, a fougasse unique to the region! Another speciality is the petit pâté nîmois: a small round box with a tasty pâté underneath.
In short, a stay in Nîmes will be enough to satisfy your taste buds!
