Bistrot Le Republique

On a recent trip I had an afternoon to spend in CadizI absolutely wanted to go to an authentic tapas bar.

This one deserves 4 and a half starsVery affordable tapasThe staff are friendly and very openNever waited more than a minute for service.

Beautiful restaurant very well presented ...and the staff are lovely ... I love trying new places to eat but I will be going back to try more off the lovely menu ... View menu

Loved this place. Small menu but something for everyone. Great value beautiful food and wine. Loads of fun with owner and my rubbish french. the gambas were delish but everything was great.

excellent eating to great trips, plus really friendly and helpful service. high points were the fried ducks; the turtle; and the hanger steak. everything just cooked. all have been boiled fantastic. for a narrow country who was hoping for a taste of French bistros, this was perfect.

perfect bistro small menu everything satisfied and beautifully presented and very good value. great people. the choice of the wee share can try a few without falling. we came here in 2019 (but have not verified it) we come back to NImes...again honestly, can wait. probably the best meal we had in France.

We were warmly greeted by Marie and her team. Fortunately, we arrived shortly after they opened. In just a few minutes the place was full. The patrons were all French except for us. That's another way of saying this is where the locals eat! Everything...we had was delicious. Only negative was the time it took to get our food.... at least 30 minutes. But, as mentioned, they were super busy.

Returned to this restaurant after pleasant memories of last year. Made to feel very welcome by the staff who remembered us from our previous visit.We used it as both a restaurant and a bar over three days and were treated to good food within a friendly convivial atmosphere. The real stars here are the staff, who cannot do enough to help, like taking time out to explain the menu (me not speaking French). They did this with all the British guests we observed. The only down side was it wasn't open on our final night in Nimes.

We really enjoyed lunch at the Bistrot le Republique. The welcome was exceptionally friendly and the food great. The langoustines stood out but everything was decent including a very nice local red. And at under 50 euros for two people, three courses, wine and coffee, what can you say? While it very French (pretty much all the clientele were local) the waitress was happy to translate. And there was no sense that as a tourist you were any less welcome than the locals. The place was full by 1230 so get their early and enjoy! View menu
