Very small but intimate place but easy to find. The concept is that you choose from an array of pre- prepared dishes in small glasses at 2 euros each. Your choices ( record is 22 glasses!) are then microwaved and presented in a long holder and you tuck in with a spoon. Dishes too many to mention here but they... More

The staff were so friendly, the owner was particularly helpful! The food was amazing and really interesting- some really different combinations of food which tasted great! My friend and I enjoyed a great meal with a beer in a busy, yet relaxed and chilled out atmosphere! Definitely recommend dining out in Playfood- you won't be disappointed.

A great place to go with some friends or with a date, fine dining it is not, but fun with your food it most certainly is, and eating here is very different. Have to agree with one of the other reviewers, some dishes, (the lighter ones) are fab, two of six my savoury were pure stodge and frankly did nothing... More

If it weren't for the fact that we were the only ones dining with them that evening, I wouldn't share my knowledge of this wonderful, creative neighborhood gem. They take the tapas concept to another level with culinary art warmed in small vessels perfect for sharing or, frankly, insisting that dining companions get their own. :-)

We were visiting Montpellier on our honeymoon and had reserved a table for 2 at Playfood a few days in advance without any problems. When we arrived at 9pm, the majority of the dinner crowd had left and we were the only ones in the whole place! Even so, we never felt any rush to hurry our meal by the... More

If you want to try something different this is it. We had a great time here and JohnDaniel, the chef, really made us feel welcome and important and his english was fabulous. The food served in little glasses was surprisingly filling and it also meant you could try lots of different dishes. It doesn't open till late though, still not... More

My wife and I were really looking forward to eating at Playfood since all the great reviews. Unfortunately we were slightly disappointed. Out of my 7 'verrines' I can honeslty say only 3 were very good, the rest were just average. My wife said the same. We both felt the idea is great and when it works, it works great.... More

The restaurant is styish with a laid back atmosphere and lots of nice little details. The food was amazing especially the banana and chocolate muffin dessert which the owner very kindly shared the recipe for with me. The owner of the restaurant was very friendly, very enthusiastic about his restaurant and made the meal more enjoyable. If your in Montpellier... More

We stayed in Montpellier as part of our 'mini moon' and having seen all the fantastic reviews on Tripadvisor, we knew we just had to try Playfood. It's situated just outside of the main city but don't let that put you off going - the food more than makes up for the location! We were greeted by a very friendly... More
