€€€Modern Cuisine, Mediterranean Cuisine
The Pourcel brothers have upcycled this former wine storehouse into a vast space where stone, steel and wood are blended in a smart neo-industrial vein. The dishes, which draw on locally sourced ingredients at their height of their maturity, are infused with inspirations from far and wide. As you peruse the menu ranging from super-fresh seabream, red mullet and seabass to fried potato cakes, rockfish soup or roast squid with tempura of squid head, houmous cream and lemon confit dressing, you will get an excellent foretaste of the “gastronomic bistro” spirit of this terminal.
€€Traditional Cuisine
On the ground floor of a building whose tree-inspired avant-garde design is by architect Sou Fujimoto, this restaurant serves a patriotic line-up of gourmet cuisine as its delicious veal liver, Madeira sauce and mashed potato amply demonstrate! White predominates in the 2.0 brasserie interior. Near the canal, the lush green patio draws the crowds like bees to honey, but many are also lured to the swish rooftop bar perched on the 17th floor, which commands a panoramic view over the city that stretches as far as the Mediterranean!

L'Arbre in Lattes is noted for its distinctive architecture and chic, quiet atmosphere. Service receives mixed feedback; while some praise the warm and attentive staff, others report inefficiencies. Food quality is polarizing: positive reviews highlight exquisite presentation, delicious sauces, and fine desserts, whereas negative ones cite bland flavors, lukewarm dishes, and poor value due to extra charges for sides. Although some find the wine list reasonably priced, others consider the overall cost high relative to the dining experience. The rooftop offers excellent views and cocktails, making it suitable for aperitifs. Ultimately, the restaurant appeals to those prioritizing ambiance and unique settings, but may disappoint diners seeking consistent culinary excellence or transparent pricing.
Suitable for diners prioritizing unique architecture and social ambiance; reserve in advance and check side dish policies.

Chef Clément Briand-Seurat has left the Pic Saint-Loup restaurant to open his own establishment (Cena means supper or dinner in Latin) beneath the ribbed vaults of a medieval edifice in the heart of historic Montpellier. A snug, romantic vibe, enhanced by centuries-old stonework and candle-lit rough oak tables, sets the scene. The chef signs a creative single set menu in which he endeavours to enhance the produce of local growers and breeders thanks to flawless craftsmanship (chutneys, oils, crumbles, crackers and whipped siphon concoctions). His knockout mushroom consommé and ‘stroll in the w

In the historical heart of the city, near the covered market of Les Halles Castellane, this restaurant has the look and feel of a loft, with plants, soothing colours and soft music.

€€Modern Cuisine, Creative
Sharing is the name of the game at this small restaurant near Place de la Canourgue, so let's partake in the pleasure of lovely creative dishes made with high-quality, environmentally friendly Occitan ingredients – fish soup, rouille, cucumber, celery; veal, purple beans, basil, hazelnuts, served cold carpaccio-style; figs, ricotta and honey for dessert. At this pleasant eatery, even the sourdough bread is made in-house.

At the helm of this spacious, light-filled bistro in the heart of Montpellier is Cédric Sangenito, a chef with a seamless CV and a firm grasp of classic techniques. His modern, somewhat inventive cuisine features Japanese barbecue cooking and lacto-fermentation. He highlights good fresh produce, especially seasonal vegetables from market gardeners, to which he devotes a surprise menu at lunchtime and in the evening. The menu is updated every week – although the rum baba, the emblematic dish of the house, is a mainstay (in various guises). A diligent and professional team is at your service.
