Montpellier has grown into a place where restaurants present different culinary traditions in both historic and modern spaces. The old town offers spots like Pastis and Le Jardin des Sens, which work with regional products. Other districts hold addresses serving Mediterranean cuisine, seafood, or Lebanese dishes. Some restaurants occupy 18th-century townhouses or castles, where French gastronomy meets old architecture. Menus change with the seasons and draw on local markets and regional suppliers. Alongside classic French cooking, you find Italian, Thai, and Middle Eastern specialties. The restaurants range from contemporary rooms to garden settings, from formal dining halls to relaxed bistros. Spread across the city, they offer different approaches, from small plates to multi-course menus, reflecting the culinary variety that has shaped Montpellier in recent years.
