Elementaire sur Montpellier

18/01/2026: Okay, but nothing exceptional for this chain restaurant. It does the job. Well located, next to the city center. The setting is clean. We didn't have to wait, but it wasn't very busy that evening (it was raining). The service was good and friendly, but they missed some key details even though it was late (chipped plate, no food warmer, didn't offer extra fries, cleared the table a bit too quickly...). The food is good, with the usual minor flaws of this chain (meat a little tough, desserts a bit cheap). We still had a pleasant time; it remains a reliable option.

12/01/2026: I'm a regular at this bistro, but this time the experience was disappointing. We waited 25 to 30 minutes for our salmon tartare, which is hard to understand for a cold dish. Meanwhile, our friends had already received their main courses (duck breast and beef) and had to eat without my friend. We asked the waiter several times about the status of our order, and each time the answer was, "It's coming." I had to get up and go see the head waiter before our dish finally arrived in 3 minutes… We also asked for extra fries and salad. After another reminder, the waitress replied "yes" in a very unpleasant tone, as if we were bothering her. Admittedly, we insisted two or three times about the dish, but we were patient and understanding for a hot meal… not for a tartare, which should be served quickly. Note: They offered my friend a free dessert when her main course arrived late, but she didn't want it. Ultimately, since the extra salad was chargeable, they gave it to us for free. It was a nice gesture, but it doesn't make up for the lack of organization. It's a shame, because I usually enjoy this place, but this service really spoils the experience.
