Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française en Montpellier

08/06/2026: Excellent lunch, friendly service and beautiful setting on Place de la Comédie!

06/06/2026: A staple of the Place de la Comédie, this restaurant ticks all the boxes of a classic: immaculate white tablecloths, a constant stream of waiters, and a lively atmosphere from morning till night. As for the food, it's more about efficient service than a memorable gastronomic adventure. The food is adequate, but nothing more. The real show, however, takes place in the dining room. The tables are so close together that you end up sharing much more than just space: conversations, anecdotes, political opinions, and sometimes even your neighbors' vacation plans. Between the person who speaks loud enough to liven up the entire room and the one who seems convinced you've become their confidant, the immersion is total. As for privacy, it's measured in centimeters: knee to knee with the next table, you quickly discover that conviviality isn't an option, but an obligation. The waiters, brave amidst this joyful cacophony, do what they can. In fact, it's not uncommon to have to repeat your order several times, as the noise level rivals that of a train station on a busy holiday weekend. My advice: opt for the terrace whenever the weather permits. You'll enjoy the lively atmosphere of the square without having to glean the details of your neighbors' love lives. A pleasant experience, provided you accept that the menu also includes, free of charge, the conversations of other customers and that you're not expecting fine dining.

27/05/2026: Incredible burger!!! One of the best burgers and fries of my life: Highly recommended!

24/05/2026: Very helpful and considerate if you have allergies. The food was delicious.

09/06/2026: A very warm welcome 🥰 Thank you to Carine and Stéphanie 😊☀️

25/04/2026: A truly wonderful experience... the welcome, service, and value for money were all top-notch! I recommend it 200%!

26/05/2026: We were there with two babies and received a very warm welcome, friendly service, and thoughtful touches for the children (high chairs, a table in the shade, etc.). The meal was very good for a very reasonable price.

20/05/2026: I went to this brasserie when I arrived in Montpellier for the Ascension Day long weekend. I was looking for a place to eat and stopped here thanks to the daily special on the chalkboard, which was a good price at €18.50 for a main course and dessert. The service was very quick and the waiter was super friendly. The dish was very good, however, the fries were just overcooked, so they were much too crispy and hard; you couldn't really taste the potato. I still recommend this place for its terrace, its menu, and its good value for money.

23/05/2026: The service was impeccable and the waiters were very friendly; we received a very warm welcome. However, our meal was spoiled by misogynistic and inappropriate remarks made on the terrace by what appeared to be the restaurant owner and a friend. The entire terrace could hear these comments about the restaurant's employees, which was very disturbing and gave the restaurant a bad impression. It's a shame, as it completely contrasts with the professionalism of the staff.

17/05/2026: The service was terrible. The waitress spilled drinks down my wife's back. No apology, not even a napkin to wipe her wet back. The fries were lukewarm. The food was mediocre. Philippe should take back control of his chain.

18/07/2024: I would like to express my opinion following your response, the products are not of quality in 3 of the 4 bakeries of the chain that I have been able to do, moreover in the 4 bakeries the welcome was not necessarily great l One of this boutique has raised the level a little but nothing more.

14/07/2024: A good bakery mix cake spanish and other countries

06/06/2026: Lamb skewers at €7 for three tiny pieces of meat—the prices are outrageous and the quality is poor! The frozen fries were bland and uninteresting. We would have eaten better at a kebab shop. Get rid of the skewer menu; it's a waste of money, and keep only the main dishes.

12/05/2026: If you love kebabs, this is definitely the place to go; it's a Montpellier institution. I LOVE IT!

21/05/2026: A very good experience at this brasserie, with a very pleasant outdoor terrace.

20/05/2026: Excellent service at this great restaurant, especially from the very attractive and well-built young bartender Raphael.

24/05/2026: The food is really horrible. I asked for it to be sent back and redone. The dessert had chunks of sugar, they forgot to brûlée it sufficiently lol. The coffee is really burned. The atmosphere was nice.

19/05/2026: It felt like we were bothering the waiters to place our order, and there's still no customer Wi-Fi in French restaurants in 2026. It's impossible to hold a business meeting under these conditions. We went to eat elsewhere.

17/04/2026: After a recent visit to Patapain, I was deeply shocked to learn that your company has still not committed to ending these cruel practices, and this clearly tarnished my customer experience. Knowing that sows can be confined in cages so small they can't even turn around, and that piglets undergo tail docking, castration, and teeth filing, is unacceptable. Columbus Café & Co and Pret A Manger have already made this commitment: when will Patapain take action?

15/04/2026: After visiting your bakery a few days ago, I discovered that pigs raised for your supply are subjected to cruel practices. Sows are confined for nearly half their lives in cages so small they cannot turn around, and piglets undergo tail docking, castration, and teeth filing. As a customer, this severely tarnishes my experience at Patapain. When will you commit to meeting the Pig Minimum Standards?

11/10/2025: Very pleasant atmosphere, and above all, top-notch equipment, an accomplice to our surprise arrival for a surprise birthday, a great welcome for our table of 12! Thank you 😘

30/09/2025: We spent a pleasant evening at the restaurant this Tuesday evening. Top-notch food and service. I'll be back!

24/06/2025: Very clean room, very comfortable bedding Pleasant stay

23/06/2025: The hotel is very quiet and comfortable. I had a pleasant weekend there. The only minor criticism I could make would be the lack of a coffee machine available.
