Wonderful ambiance, great service and above average food for Montpellier (not the citadel of haute cuisine in France). Would happily return. Be sure to book in advance; the restaurant is tiny.

Great hearty but not heavy food. Appealed to both young hipsters and families. The menu was not available in English, but out daughter was able to translate.

We accidentally came across this restaurant whilst walking around Montpellier trying to find a nice looking restaurant that may serve at least one vegetarian meal! I am so glad we found it as it turned out to be the best meal we had in Montpellier! We were seated outside on the square, and the staff were very friendly and attentive... More

Nice restaurant, with the terrace outside among the other restaurant around. The menu has several "cocotte" as the name of the restaurant. We tok the 3 course menu which was definitely enough food. There was many new meals in à la carte, innovative mix of spices and seasonal ingredients. The mix and the presentation were both inventive and good looking.... More

Ate here on a Thursday night in August; prebooked; table waiting for us outside in the little square. Great food; had the house wine which was very acceptable and the 3 course dinner at 26 euros. service excellent. Would happily return, were there not another 400+ restaurants to explore!

Nice little restaurant about 5 minutes walk from the main square. Food was beautiful. The wait staff were really helpful and were forgiving of our minimal French. Food was reasonably priced and service was prompt. The menu requires you to order entree + main or main + dessert or entree + main + dessert. 22 euro for main + entree/dessert... More

We really liked it here. It's situated in a funky little "square" (kinda triangular) and serves great food at a decent price. Three courses are €26 and included an amuse, bread and water. A decent local red was €14. My carpaccio was superb, lovely meat, nice basil dressing and my wife's "crumble" was an interesting veg starter in a delicious... More
