Mon fils and I are spending a lot of time checking out tasty bites in Uzès. We’re on the way to Lyon, the “stomach of France” and we want to make some comparisons. The 5-star restaurants in Lyon are hardly within our budget; nevertheless, we’re ready for some extraordinary French cuisine.

Here are some of our food finds in Uzès

The high quality of the food and meal presentation at this unassuming restaurant was a total surprise. If I’ve walked past their door once, I passed a hundred times without thinking about going in. Now I know better.

Here’s a closer look at that pork dish…

Vieux Cafe d’Aniathazze is another place we’ve enjoyed visiting a couple of times lately.

It’s located across from the Tourist Agency and is almost always filled with locals and tourists, inside and outside. In fact, I thought it was a bit “too busy,” so I usually sought out more out-of-the-way places.

That changed when I walked by one day in the late afternoon after not having eaten since breakfast. I was starving! Since it was between mealtime, there were no customers at the restaurant; only a few waiters were sitting outside eating pizza. Walking close enough to them to catch their eyes, I motioned by rubbing my stomach with my hand that I was hungry. One of the waiters spoke up, in pretty good English:

“I’ll fix something for you to eat,” he said. “Let me finish my pizza.”

He stood up, seated me at a nearby table, and headed into the restaurant. In a moment, he returned with a beer in his hand, which he sat in front of me.  In a few minutes, I was gulping down a piping hot beef and cheese sandwich with fries on the side.

Pizza at Vieux Cafe d’Aniathazze is really good, especially the 4-cheese (with Roquefort!), and this 4-seasons is colorful and might be tasty.

 

 

 

 

 

The salads are pretty special too, like these greens with bacon topped with a lacy crêpe “cup” filled with warm goat cheese.

Yep… I’m ready for taste-testing Lyon. Bring it on!
