The best restaurants Languedoc Roussillon

A stone's throw from the heart of Saint-Gély-du-Fesc, Le Mélagais is the place to meet carnivores of all kinds. Patrice, the chef is a grill specialist! It welcomes its guests in the authentic setting of an old refurbished stone remission in an original style that mixes the metal with more traditional materials such as wood or terracotta. On the map, there is a fairly classic kitchen, but it has the merit of honoring excellent local products such as YAAAA, Aubrac beef coast, trilac or duck ducks from the southwest. To accompany these rich pieces of meat, Patrice remains in the tradition register by offering aligot, home fries or seasonal vegetables. Fish lovers reassuring themselves, grilled gamlow XXL and wolf to romarin are also part of the game.

In India, Puja is the ritual prayer; in Montpellier, it is a restaurant not to be missed. In a typical oriental decor, you sample indian or... mauritian dishes! On the menu: fried squid or eggplant, samosas, Tikka Massala chicken, Pakora and nans with cheese or garlic. This is for the trip to India, and if you prefer a stopover on Mauritius island, taste the fish Cari (tomato and coriander) for example, or with semolina puddings called Sooji Meva. In Puja, the meal is copious, tasty and affordable, with the added bonus of a very welcoming staff.

Housed near the Prefecture, the Empanadas Club is the temple of Latin cuisine in Montpellier. Opened in 2014, this address was the first to ride the wave of the Argentinean specialty. Today, it has a solid reputation and acts as a safe bet, so much so that it is number 1 in France's best-known delivery site. As the address is quickly filling up, many customers buy their meals to take away or online. However, two years ago, the house opened the Mosquito Latino in the adjoining business, a Latin bar where you can devour the bites of skill and drink cocktails from South and Latin America.

Enter this dangerous looking den, a crew member of the pirates will lead you to your table, at the foot of the tower, in the den of the boat or the gaols of the ship. In addition to the imposing decorated surroundings of death's-heads, the storm and the cannons echo by surprise in the middle of the meal, and three times in an hour, the lights display. A long list of eclectic cocktails brings the highlight of to this festive atmosphere. On the menu, there is something for everyone: salad-meal, pasta, pizzas, meat or fish. For dessert, the house opted for very classic: chocolate, crème brûlée or a scoop of frozen Bounty, composed of ice cream and chocolate, a sorbet and chips with coconut, and whipped cream. Children love this.

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.

Over the years, the Galion remains a good address! As a good fox, we sat on the terrace of Galion, which we were told the greatest good. Of course, we are well placed on the small terrace above the canal, but we will recommend you to settle on the bottom, if possible, because the aisles and coming from the pier are not very pleasant for the one who wants to take a quiet dinner. Moreover, you won't be enjoying a slightly oppressed wait for all those who queue to come and taste the specialities of this restaurant, which found its fans. The specialties of the house are, of course, bouillabaisse (served only for two people), shells, including peel plates, fresh fish grilled. Oysters, shrimp, mussels, almonds, clams, snails and langoustines are at the menu, fresh, fragrant and tasty. But carnivores will be able to enjoy a generous map. So if you are in the queue of those who patientent and wait their turn, do not despair, your expectation will not be vain.
