Le Cena, Modern French restaurant in Montpellier, France
Le Cena is a modern French restaurant in Montpellier located beneath ancient stone vaults. The dining room features oak tables and soft candlelight, creating a refined space for meals.
The restaurant occupies a building with medieval stonework on Place Pétrarque, with architectural elements spanning centuries. These historical structures have been incorporated into the current design of the establishment.
The name comes from the Latin word for dinner, reflecting a connection to French Mediterranean cooking traditions. Diners experience this heritage through modern preparations that showcase regional products at the center of each plate.
Reservations are strongly recommended, especially for dinner service Thursday through Saturday between 18:00 and 20:30, and for Sunday lunch between 12:00 and 13:15. Booking in advance helps secure a table at this popular spot.
Chef Clément Briand-Seurat creates a single changing menu that shifts continuously, transforming local ingredients into innovative dishes like mushroom consommé. Diners experience a completely different meal each visit with no menu choices.
