a wonderful experience; a meal in a gothic arcitectural setting - a 5 course meal. When we looked outside to the munu we found it a broad choice and decided to try it. The real surprice is that each course has 3 options and that you don't have to choose, you get all 3 of them. It was a wonderfull... More

La Diligence is situated in the heart of the old city and offers splendid surroundings in vaulted rooms. The menu is rather limited, but offers a choice of terroir inspired dishes with a modern twist. The quality of the food is good and the price is fair. The cheese trolley is fine. The wine list offers a wide choice of... More

This restaurant is located in one of the lovely streets of the old city. When you push the door, the cosy atmosphere of the vaulted dining room, the stupendous collection of whisky brands displayed on the various shelves and the nice welcome from the staff set the tone for an excellent dining experience. The three-course menu of the day was... More

This restaurant was recommended to us by a French woman who had lived in Montpelier. The food was beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. The restaurant itself is in a very old building with vaulted ceiling, and the service was great. They took time to explain to us what the dishes were, and we had some delicious wine. If you are...

I have been to this restaurant several times and its always meets up to my expectations. One time I couldn't decide on what to eat so I decided to try the menu dégustation and tried a bit of everything that was on the card, which was one of the best culinary experiences I ever had. I would recommend this restaurant... More

Food was served nicely and was very dilicious. We had enough to eat, which is not really a given considering the price class. Not only was the food good, we also enjoyed an excellents Muscat wine and a very surprising red wine. The waiters were all friendly, sometimes even funny. I would certainly go there again if I were to... More

We loved this restaurant. Although the prices are not low, we felt it was good value for what we got. The service was excellent, the food delicious and the atmosphere intimate and relaxing. Despite the quality of the food and surroundings, it did not feel stuffy or uptight. I would not hesitate to recommend this place for couples, business or... More

We loved this restaurant, beautiful inside and the menu had a good choice my husband loved his meaty dishes. Unfortunately, my experience of restaurants in France was not good as being vegetarian seemed to cause a lot of hassel....but this restaurant was extremely accommodating and provided me with some great dishes. Presentation was 5 star and staff very friendly.
