The best French cuisine restaurants Languedoc Roussillon

Stéphane Lavaux's gastronomic restaurant is a safe bet in Agde with his precious companion who manages the restaurant with a smile and brio. The key words of this establishment are good, beautiful, simple and fresh. He could have played the sea card but he preferred to combine it with other pleasures. To make it local, we opt for a fine puff pastry of saithe with chorizo, aubergine and meat juice with basil. And the whole is sublimated by a beautiful proposal of wines of Languedoc Roussillon nobly put forward.

The house Avignon, one of the most beautiful of the old Sommières for its magnificent extremadura and its magnificent staircase of stairs by illustrious characters, houses a restaurant brasserie pizzeria. The new owners made the choice to mix in vintage, industrial furniture, like its chairs in formica to the advertising files of the 50 s or this magnificent bar of a métallier. In the entrance, the Black Chesterfield lounge flanked by two white pea chairs will allow you to wait for your guests or sip your aperitif. The Brasserie offers superb steaks unless you prefer a beautiful pizza. Let's hope that this establishment will experience a great success with Jérôme's hands.

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.
