Heng Lay sur Montpellier

05/09/2024: The Mandarin restaurant, hidden in the small streets near the Observatory, is a real gem that deserves to be discovered. Despite its discreet location, it was a pleasant surprise. The service is provided by a single person who, in addition to taking care of the kitchen, carefully ensures that each customer has an excellent culinary experience. His kindness and attention to detail added a human warmth to the experience. The Peking duck soup was a marvel, rich in flavors and perfectly balanced. The spring rolls, for their part, were fresh and crispy, just the way we like them. But my real favorite was the Cantonese rice, undoubtedly one of the best I have tasted, with authentic flavors and an impeccable texture. To end the meal on a sweet note, I tasted apple fritters, which are clearly worth the detour, and the banana flambé, simple but tasty. In summary, Mandarin is a hidden gem that I highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic Chinese cuisine and attentive service.
