MONTPELLIER, HERAULT

LE CAPTIVA


Hi,
I would like to recommend you a restaurant where I'm going now almost every day. I am in Montpellier for business and since the beginning, the quality of this restaurant is the same.
The chef and his wife are so nice and they work so hard every day to satisfy the clients.
It's located on a beautiful place under the pine tree, just in front of the cathedrale St Roch.

LES CABANES DE FLEURY, AUDE

LOU CABANAIRE

Restaurant Lou Cabanaïre
4, avenue de la Mer
11560 Cabanes de Fleury

Though I have never eaten here, I and friends have had light refreshments, and enjoyed its ease, and relaxed atmosphere, (chat with the owner if you can, he will tell you about the history of Les Cabanes and how they used to catch fish by putting a net across the mouth of the River Aude - look at the photos and information on the restaurants entrance). They serve fresh fish. It is worth investigating!

BEZIERS, HERAULT

LE CANARD BLEU

The owners of Le Canard Bleu used to run the 'Fin Fourchette' in Agde for many years. The owner cooks and his wife is front of house. The restaurant is only open at lunchtimes but is open every day 7/7 at the moment. They have two menus, one of 10 Euros and the other 14 Euros. Both are three courses with a choice of three starters and three main courses for the cheaper menu and a selection of five for the more expensive one and a variety of home made deserts or cheese.

The food which is Traditional French is excellent as is the presentation. Their house wine is a very reasonable 4 Euros a half litre. Parking can be a problem as it is all narrow streets in the area but it is a short walk from Allee Paul Riquet and well worth the effort.

The address is:

Le Canard Bleu
27 Rue des Petits Champs
Beziers

CAPESTANG, HERAULT

CAFE DE LA GRILL

We can personally recommend the 'cafe de la grill' in Capestang, in the village square, although basically a bar restaurant, with a large outside seating area, it offers excellent meals at very modest prices, it is very popular with the lunchtime locals, efficient service and good portions.

MONTAGNY LES BEAUNE, NEAR BEAUNE, COTE D'OR

RESTAURANT LE BERGER DU TEMPS

Hello,
I would like to recommend Le Berger du Temps, a restaurant in Montagny les Beaune, just outside Beaune proper. The food is prepared with great attention from fresh ingredients and all is  cooked slowly in the wood-burning ovens. Though they present their cuisine as from the old days, it is not heavy but very sumptuous. Their address:
 
 Restaurant Le Berger du Temps
14.16 Rue des Gravières
21200 Montagny les Beaune
Tel: 03.80.24.14.27

Thanks,
