It is in the back of the Halles Castellane that the Mustang has taken up residence. Well established in the Écusson, it attracts a clientele of gourmands and soiffards from lunchtime to the night. They are seduced by Mustang's two terraces, its musical atmosphere, its food and drink menus, its entertainment... In short, its DNA! If its exterior is the main weapon of the place, it is quickly followed by the impressive menu of cocktails, beers and tapas at low prices. We also appreciate its interior decoration.

The world of Chapeau Thé is full of smiles and delights. It is the perfect opportunity to spend a convivial moment around gourmet proposals. In a bucolic setting worthy of a fairy tale, Marion and Mathieu orchestrate the place like virtuosos, so much so that the address has become a must in the town. A lively meeting place, the pie shop is the setting for numerous workshops, the home of a grocery corner and a cave of delights. You can eat - on the spot or to take away - the salads and pies of the house. Everything is homemade and served in a good mood.

This restaurant is worthy of a Hollywood blockbuster. Between Jack Sparrow's pirate and galion tavern, the brand is picturesque, relaxed and musical. This bar is one of the most atypical places in the resort. Daniel and his team, all proudly wearing their pirate clothes, go to this place with relaxed smile and smile. There is a very large selection of cocktails, from the most classic to the most extravagant. Thus, mojito, ti-punch, tequila tequila and other planters are on schedule. At lunchtime, tapas is available; and, from 23 pm, you can eat the day's suggestion. Regularly themed evenings are organized, such as the Creole or Sanitary evenings and Colombo who pimentent the evenings. Privateers friends, beautiful fiestas in perspective in this tip of the Caribbean.

Gone are the days of butter toast, scrambled eggs and filter coffee: here, you can enhance the pleasure with eggs Benedict with shredded pork on seeded bread, with an orange blossom waffle, mascarpone and fresh fruit, with moist pancakes topped with crispy bacon... You can also melt for a bagel, a mixed salad, a salmon-avocado-fresh cheese toast, a cookie, a bowl of fruit, a vegan or gluten-free plate. Homemade drinks and fine coffees are also available.

In the heart of the village, at the foot of a stone building, we discover this charming address with a warm atmosphere and a well cared decoration. Under the vaults, the welcome is friendly. One comes to settle down to share a bottle of wine on a high table, to shop at the wine merchant's to take advantage of this local business, but also to enjoy a convivial evening. We nibble on a plate of cold cuts, cheeses or a vegetarian option. We garnish a few slices of bread with spreads and we melt over a dessert in a glass.

This bar is named after one of Thailand's most beautiful islands. Outside, banquettes are set up under a Virginia creeper arbor, while tables face the Criée. Inside, you'll discover an attractive decor, surprising lighting, a plant wall and a highly effective playlist! Come sip cocktails and share tapas. Shrimp tempura, tinned sardines from Maison Janicot, some gyozas, baked camembert, eggplant caviar... And don't forget to take advantage of the DJ evenings to get your groove on.

Nestled in the courtyard of a private mansion accessible from Rue de la Loge, this address attracts families and students looking for an intimate place for a quiet break between two shopping trips. On the terrace to enjoy the freshness of the stones and the typical architecture of the Écusson or in the warmth of the well-tended interior, visitors find comfort, calm and homemade sweets. At lunchtime, the address is a restaurant and offers three seasonal dishes on the slate. There is also a range of organic teas, to take away in bulk.

As soon as we look at the window, we know that we are going to enter an unusual place. Imposing counter, high ceilings, antique lights, tables on the wall, we make a leap in the past. One of the very few bars that kept the atmosphere of the early th century. A real pleasure… and the boss is very nice - see section Restaurants.

Undoubtedly the trendiest café in Montpellier for more than 21 years! Non-aficionados will find this place a little too "showy". since Café Jo', as it is nicknamed by regulars, is primarily the meeting point of a trendy local youth who loves to show off and to be seen. But what type of Montpellier residents would dare to say they have never gone to Café Jo? At Café Joseph, you can enjoy the large terrace that extends over the half of Place Jean-Jaurès and an impressive concentration of young people permanently installed there! If you do not dance outside, a DJ is there to light up the evening regularly, and other events enliven up the bar throughout the year. As for catering it has incredibly been improved: the charcuterie boards to share or the Joseph hamburger is the specialty of the house. But we also like the breakfast in the quiet of the sunny place. The upperfloor of the café, with magnificent decoration, can be reserved for birthdays and other events. In a nutshell, if you look for the place that is a little mythical of the trendy Montpellier, go to Café Joseph, you will find your happiness. If you do not meet these criteria, you should avoid it, during the weekend, in any case.

This bar allows you to bet on horse races but also to watch sports events on the big screen. If you are a little hungry, salads, burgers and other dishes are offered. And at aperitif time, you can also order tapas which you can enjoy on its large terrace facing the port.

Feet in France and head in Spain! The Plaza is part of these places marking the breakthrough of Iberian culture in Béziers. Colour and gold walls, photographs of bullfighting scenes, a bar of azulejos and a genuine head of bull attached to the wall ensure the change. But beware of a priori, the Plaza is not reserved for Mediterranean macho.

For the morning coffee or lunch break, a rich clientele of men, women, young and old alike. The atmosphere is good child as in a true seville bodega. So if you go to the neighborhood, do not hesitate, you will be well received!

Just a stone's throw from Halles Laissac, we discover this charming beer and rum bar. Opened in 2017, the establishment is cosy, intimate and friendly: perfect for releasing the tensions of the day. Inside, the bartender offers a variety of beers that beer lovers are sure to appreciate! If you don't like beer, don't worry, this English pub-style venue with its modern musical ambience also offers a wide selection of rum. Thanks to his expertise, the barman will sometimes improvise!

On the Place Castellane, the Café des Arts spreads its bistro menu and cocktails on an impressive terrace. It has become a very popular spot in the city centre and is now a lively place. Hungry people and night owls love to go there because of its beautiful location at the top of rue Saint-Guilhem, its pleasant decor and its hearty dishes. The address is divided into three areas: the large terrace, the bar on the ground floor and the room upstairs, which consists of a few tables with tablecloths and stone walls.

With its large shaded terrace located just before entering the Héliopolis shopping mall, Le 1664 is a must. During the day or in the evening, it is always crowded and very often, concerts are offered. It is also here that you will have the possibility to follow the sports broadcasts. The other particularity of the 1664, is its incomparable card of alcohols which makes the pride of Zeus and Jean-Christophe. They offer at least 80 beers, whisky and rum, which will satisfy the amateurs, especially since there are some small wonders, to be consumed of course, with pleasure but in moderation. Right across the street, there is a bowling alley and there is also a game of bowls in the evening, sometimes even until closing time.

Le Fou du Roy, which Roby has just created, offers you two possibilities to enjoy an ice cream or to eat tapas at the aperitif hour.
