Le Questel, a warm and friendly place to dine

Open since February 2017, the brasserie and its dining room have become a genuine institution in Nîmes, reflecting the colourful personality of the restaurant’s owner, Jimmy VIALLE.

Having already had a rich and adventurous career in the gourmet restaurant sector, Jimmy, fell in love with the square on which the future Questel would be located, while strolling around the city one day. After lunch on the terrace of the former restaurant on the site, and then, later, a dinner with friends, the Questel was born! Why was the Brasserie named “Le Questel”? Charles Auguste Questel was the architect who designed the Saint Paul Church (just a stone’s throw from the restaurant) in the 19^th century. So, the name is a little nod to such an illustrious person.

Le Questel will soon be celebrating its 5^th anniversary! Those five years have been an extraordinary adventure, a wonderful five years with a fantastic team working to provide the restaurant’s customers with a real treat for the taste buds. The word “cosy” describes the restaurant perfectly. Eva, Victoria and Stéphanie are there to ensure all our customers receive a warm welcome and great service. Come and discover this beautiful brasserie and enjoy its seasonal produce and warm, welcoming atmosphere.

A magical moment to be shared with family or friends!

Fresh and original cuisine

Tasty surprises, delicious cuisine….and wine paired perfectly with the food served. We use fresh, local and seasonal products to create original menus, renewed every 3 months. Your taste buds will thank you for the experience.

This is the very philosophy of the Head Chef Pierre Vérot and his team. Wines from local producers and further afield, cocktails created by our amazing barman Lionel, or even Champagne, are the perfect way to accompany our fine cuisine. The Wine and Champagne list reflects the image of the Brasserie, a balance between small and large producers, blending tradition and modernity, but always with the same goal of delivering quality, experience and passion. While our barman Lionel loves the great classics, he will also surprise you and take you on a journey around the world with his cocktails and carefully-selected products.

You will undoubtedly fall under the spell of this “bistro” cuisine with its generous dishes at lunchtime, as well as carefully-prepared evening meals to share with family or friends, such as our Tapas à la française! French cuisine, yes indeed!!!!

**" Maître Restaurateur " certification, WE DID IT!**

In April 2022, two of the QUESTEL Brasserie’s team obtained the French “Maître Restaurateur” certification.

Jimmy VIALLE, the Director of the Brasserie and Pierre VEROT, the Head Chef, were both awarded this title.

These two distinctions a real honour, which we are delighted to be able to share with you!

The Maître Restaurateur title is awarded by the French Ministry of Trade and Crafts and acknowledges restaurant owners and chefs that are committed to following an eco-responsible approach in order to provide traditional and innovative culinary dishes.

“In today’s society, people are increasingly looking to eat healthier, local products, but the notion of transparency is not always genuine, and it can be difficult for consumers to know exactly what they’re really getting.” With this in mind, the Association Française des Maîtres Restaurateur applies the values of creativity, proximity, and in-house cooking using fresh, seasonal products on a day-to-day basis.
