Le Cristal sur Beziers

We had a wonderful dinner celebrating our 20th Valentine's Day at Le Cristal restaurant this year, and it was a real treat. We received a warm welcome. Despite the Valentine's Day dinner rush, the service was friendly and efficient. This was our third meal here, and each time it has been a delight. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Do you eat local food everywhere you go ✈️? I try to, even though my son always fights me over this. 😅 The thing when I'm in France 🇫🇷 (and even though I'm French) is that... I don't really like French cuisine. 😅 Well, I love what's simple about it, typically what you can find at a brasserie, but I don't eat dairy so... Try to remove everything with cream, milk, butter or cheese from French cuisine and... there's not much left! 😔 OK, maybe I exaggerate... 😜 Now, try to go to the city you don't know (Béziers in this case), to find a French restaurant that offers food that I like (no dairy), that's still open at 2:30pm and that has tables available! 🫡 That's how we ended up at Le Cristal (@lecristalbistrotbeziers), without really knowing anything about it. We just walked by it and went in... well out, actually, cause we ate on the terrace. 😉 Again, simple local food: we shared an 🥩 entrecote and a 🦑 squid casserole. The entrecote was correct. I can't really complain about it but I won't remember it either. The fries 🍟 on the side were not great though... I never understand how they manage to serve bad fries... 🤔 The squid was ok too but slightly overcooked and not very tasted (probably frozen). 😐 The terrace was nice, not too close to the cars and quite quiet. Even though we were on the terrace, the service was nice, fast paced and attentive. 👏 That was an expensive meal IMO though: €50 each for 2 mains (including 1 dish of the day: the squid) and 2 coffees, for such a quality, in a small town like Béziers and on a week day is just too much. 👎 Quality & taste: 6/10 Quantities: 8/10 Atmosphere: 9/10 Originality: 5/10 Ratio price / quality: 5/10 Service: 9/10 How I felt afterwards: 7/10

A restaurant right on the main square, with very good food, although the menu isn't huge. Better a few well-executed dishes than many poorly executed ones. The service was fantastic, very attentive and professional. Great atmosphere.

We regularly eat at this restaurant during our lunch break. Really good

A very warm welcome and excellent service, fresh ingredients, and exceptional homemade dishes. I introduced my Albanian wife to French truffles, and she was delighted. She also ordered a tiramisu, which she adored, having lived in Italy and therefore being quite knowledgeable about it. We highly recommend this restaurant!

The dish was beautifully presented and of high quality. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I highly recommend it.

We just had a drink, what a pleasure to see such friendly servers! Thank you!

A fernominal coffee, in an absolutely gorgeous location. Staff are super kind and generous. Very professional. Its a must

The cannelloni with sausage meat were not great, too greasy and not tender; the gratinéed cheese was too hard. Otherwise, the service was quick, and the staff were very helpful and friendly.

Excellent waiter, I recommend Franck!
