Augusta, Wine bistro in Montpellier, France
Augusta is a wine bistro in Montpellier serving natural wines alongside carefully prepared dishes such as aniseed hake rillettes and fried octopus with cumin-spiced carrot purée. The kitchen focuses on simple, flavorful preparations that complement the wine selection.
