Épices et Tout

Épices et Tout in Alès is led by Quentin and Aurélie and offers a modern, flavour-driven approach to dining. Since 2017 the restaurant displays a Toque from Gault & Millau and a Michelin Bib Gourmand. It serves evening meals and a weekend midday menu and maintains a carefully selected wine list that favours regional producers. The family-run setting is welcoming, with a warm, convivial atmosphere that reflects the owners' personal hospitality. The kitchen presents fresh, seasonal and largely local products on menus that change with the seasons; every dish is prepared in-house by the chef and carries a "homemade" label. The team adapts recipes to accommodate lactose-free, gluten-free and vegetarian requests where possible, underlining its commitment to local sourcing and made-from-scratch cuisine. Specialties include grilled trout with squid-ink risotto, white wine and saffron cream; crispy confit duck with spiced carrot purée and old-fashioned mustard jus; grilled Laval-Pradel snails with persillade and black garlic cream; scallops with butternut purée; Black Angus onglet with truffle shavings and zitoni; and chocolate mousse served warm with honey marshmallow and popcorn.
