The best French cuisine restaurants Montpellier

A true institution in the heart of the city, 1789 is a small culinary revolution. The restaurant seduces gourmets thanks to its three distinct areas: the sheltered terrace, the main room and the lounge bar in the basement. Gourmands particularly enjoy dining under the beautiful vaults of the house, very typical of the Ecusson area. Above all, they are delighted to discover a modern seasonal cuisine orchestrated by Chef Nicolas. His recipes are based on local recipes and are offered with or without truffles, the house specialty. It is available raw, cooked, in mousse, cream, juice or puree, for your greatest pleasure.

If this pretty smart canteen is a little far from the center, it undoubtedly deserves a small detour. Cordial, the lovely dining area raises the Catalan colors and has a corner fireplace, quite appreciable in winter. For the summer one will choose without hesitating the patio, refreshed by the bamboos and the pines, very calm and really resting where the tables of coloured mosaics bring jollity to the place. The cuisine is of inspiration Catalan and more largely Mediterranean. As starter, one will be able for example to taste mussels cooked au gratin with the garlic and parsley butter or carpaccio of Scallops has the lemon grass, ginger and lime. For the dish, small cuttlefish roasted with their aïoli or paves mature rumpsteak, compotée of shallots to the red wine. The à la carte of the desserts is very full and will not disappoint, with inter alia a macaroon with cream raspberries light with the litchis freezes limoncello, a flash with lemon-yellow basil, sorbet citrus fruits ginger or mid--cooks with the black chocolate, foams mascarpone and dress pink. The place is worth really the effort to move away from the historic center.
