When you enter everything you see is smart, modern, restrained and precise, with touches of real originality. And rather delightfully, exactly the same can be said of the cooking. I absolutely loved every aspect of this lunch.The service is perfect⦠friendly, relaxed but observantly attentive, imaginative, immensely informative. In fact the young waitress and waiter would both be strong contenders for my private âserver of the year awardâ.The no choice approach to the surprise menus is great. I love having the decisions taken away from me. It can be 2, 3 or 4 courses, as you wish and we took just starter and main. The starter was probably the best tomato-centred dish I have ever eaten. It looked like nothing much more than a slice of giant tomato on a pastry base with a few herbs and flowers on top, but is was so much more than that, simply bursting with intense, complex and surprising flavours. The chicken main was one degree less remarkable, but extraordinarily well thought through and executed.That was already good value for 25 Euros but there were two waves of amuse-bouches beforehand. I asked for one glass of white that would work with both surprises and they served a very classy Cuvee âINâ from Mas Conscience for a mere 7 Euros. Then a 3 Euro coffee came with a wonderful plump hot madeleine â so much better than all the fiddly mini lemon tarts etc that so often appear at this stage as an excuse to bump up the coffee charge to something more aggressive.So yes, Iâm struggling to find even the tiniest criticismâ¦. Not a predicament Iâm accustomed to!... Indeed, if Pastis were close to my home, I could cheerfully eat here twice a week!!

Slightly late on a Sunday night scouting around for food and getting cranky with hunger we happened upon Atelier St. Roch and were rewarded with lovely service and some dishes that lodge happily in the memory weeks later. Particularly good were the baked Hake dish and the Fig Tart with honey and Thyme. Don't hesitate.

Playfood, Verrines Restaurant, urban, chic and well designed. You can compose your meal with a choice of little dishes, served in small glasses, made in the spirit of local, nomadic and contemporary taste, to share and discover. At the foot of the Opera B

I read about this restaurant and made a reservation before we left for vacation, as the seating is limited. All menu items - savory and sweet - are served in clear glasses. the flavors and combinations of ingredients were creative and inventive. A person can order as many cups as they want - I ordered all savory dishes for myself, and was very full after 5. This was unlike any restaurant I had ever been to before. It proved to be a memorable dinner which was enjoyed by all.

A group of us were in Montpellier and wanted somewhere to eat. There was a general agreement that seafood would be nice and the hotel found this restaurant for us.It was an excellent choice. The patron was a most helpful and quite amusing fellow and nothing really was too much trouble. He spoke some English too which was a help for some of the group. Eating seafood in France is rather more "hands on" than in the UK so tearing crabs apart was something of a novelty for some of the group and showing them the dead man's fingers a real necessity. The oysters were absolutely excellent. They had about five or six different oysters on sale so there was a real choice. Then came the main courses - well an awful lot of food and some of us had over-ordered.It was not cheap but seafood is quite expensive and you do want it fresh but actually it was worth the money.The restaurant itself was fairly basic with no frills but the food certainly made up for it. In the warmer weather you can sit outside but it was just not quite warm enough the evening we visited.

Reviewed By RhodriMawr
As visitors discover, Montpellier has a huge range of restaurants, cafes, coffee shops, pizza parlours, creperies, curry houses - you name it. This one is genuinely special. It's a small place north of the Hotel de Ville with a couple of tables outside and a couple inside. The team comprises the chef in his open-plan kitchen and the lady who runs front-of-house who is genuinely charming. We kicked off with a bottle of Puech-Haut St Drezy, a local top-grade cuvee, for 30 euros ( a steal) which was bright violet in the glass, tight, rich and austere all at the same time. It reminded me of a Pomerol, driven by fruit and bright colour. What a bargain for the price. I then had lamb chops - sweet, rich and fragrant with rosemary from the hills nearby and accompanied by a pleasant ratatouille crusted with a farinaceous crumble. My wife ordered the monkfish - a beefy big sirloin of no-nonsense monkfish atop a timballe of unctuous risotto with a rich chorizo broth around the side. A really compelling combo. This sort of cooking is why you come to France to enjoy. The price was ridiculously low, best wine, coffees and calvados included. I am a very picky and critical person when it come to spending the hard-earned in restaurants and this place deserved every euro,

Chef Charles Fontès and his team certainly lived up to expectations and the good reviews. The setting is very idyllic (although the lighting on the terrace could be less intense) and the service very welcoming. We opted for the tasting menu, which corresponded to most dishes on the à la carte menu. Particularly enjoyable was the foie gras de canard poélé aux égrumes, turbot sauvage and the pigeon filet. With only a few minor errors very nice and personal service. We even got a tour of the wine celler afterwards.

I arrived to this busy little restaurant tonight (Sunday Evening) with four of my friends. We had come across this pizzeria though trip advisor and we were delighted with the first impressions! It seems to be a family run pizzeria, with an open kitchen so you can watch your pizza being made right in front of you! The service we received was one of the best we have experienced yet in Montpellier. All the servers could not do enough for us! (This included complimentary deserts and one of the servers running to the shop to get the cans of Coke Zero we ordered!) The pizza was delicious, and very generously proportioned. Very reasonable and a huge selection on the menu. The chef also made some very good suggestions for us based on the menu also. Overall a very enjoyable evening, delicious food and fantastic service. Would highly recommend and we will most certainly be returning!!!

I was taken here by friends with no expectations, to leave having thoroughly enjoyed my lunch. Décor is fairly modern, including some of the tableware which catches the eye more than being practical. Waiting staff are very professional and explain dishes and wines. Food beautifully presented and cooked. A bit far from the centre of Montpellier if you don't have your own transport.

Great Moroccan restaurant,Good quality food ,Warm welcome Average ambiance Good prices The only issue is that the opening times are limited especially at night Thank you very much for your comments. I understand for the opening times ,but we had to make a choice, in the morning i start around 7.30 am 8am to do the bread , than to do the dessert ,etc and in winter times as it's very busy i have only about 1/2 hour break until closure time so if we're opening late , it will be difficult for me to carry on .But in summer time it's not that busy, so maybe you're right , we've got to think about it.But thank you again .
