If you know the meaning of the title, then you'll know what we're on about straight away.
Gather its Greek for Nudist, or Naked....  but unable to confirm.
I've yet to find a guide to Cap d'Agde that doesn't mention this superb restaurant as one of the top spots to eat, but when searching for it on Fab in its own right, not a mention, so thought we'd address that.
Owned and managed by Alexis and Rudolphe, Ghymnos is found at the edge of the Heliopolis shopping centre, and runs either side of the walkway through the shops. One side is kitchen, till, and around space for 60 guests, the other side is a large glass extension allowing a further 100+ guests to be seated.
Offering 3 main selections of food, their Salads, Pizzas and their Grills. All great value, and cooked in front of you on open grills or in the massive pizza oven. Prices range from 6 Euro's for a mixed salad, 9 euros for a Margherita pizza, and 8.50 for Chicken Nuggets, through to 13 Euros for a Caesar or Salmon salad, 13 euros for my favourite Mexican pizza (ask for the chilli oil) and 44 Euro's if you fancy sharing a Prime Rib of beef for 2. Also look out for their infamous Couscous evenings....but will leave others to chat about that as never tried.
Wine list is great, local wines from the Languedoc region, and often some excellent hidden gems available from behind the counter...well worth asking for.
You are served with an aperitif on arrival, and within minutes your meal will be ready. Its fast and furious, the staff don't stop and are all superb at their jobs. If you get in the way in the walkway between the two sections, expect to be mown down by a waitress handling 3 plus pizza's at speed! The queue to get a table tends to start around 8pm, and by 10pm they are closing down, but for those few hours this team works their butts off. Great to watch in action.
Also open at lunch times, and if old info is correct, probably the only place to eat in the village during the winter. Over time you'll become good friends with staff and owners. Good memories, great ambience, excellent viewing point, fine food and wine.
Its a 10/10 from us. |
