Here is a very personal guide to eating out in the Herault.

Notes:- 1.The Languedoc pulls down the shutters and hibernates during its short winter. Check first whether the restaurant you want to go to is open.

2. French factory law heritage means that unlike their Spanish neighbours French stomachs work to a strict time schedule 12:00 - 14:00 lunch 20:00- 21:30 (latest) dinner do not dilly dally or you will be disappointed and hungry.

Apres la Deluge

5 RUE MAR PLANTAVIT Pezenas 04 67 98 10 77

This used to be recognised as one of the top restaurants in Pezenas, good food, nice ambience with honky tonk piano often playing in the background, friendly but slow service. Limited choice menus range down in price from their 35 euro ’Menu de Terroir’. Slightly disappointed on a recent visit and think that it is wiser to visit in the off season.

Les Palmiers

COUR LES PALMIERS 10 BIS MERCIERE Pezenas 04 67 09 42 56

Hidden away in the old town, this restaurant is not open in the winter months as all seating is in an open courtyard. reasonably priced with an interesting menu making good use of spices. Well worth a visit.

Le Nouveau Printemps

2 RUE CALQUIERES BASSES, Pezenas 04 67 98 12 71

On the corner at the end of the antique shops road and below the big parking, this restaurant is run by the ex owner of the Auberge du Chateau in Margon. Very good food at resonable prices. Well worth a visit.

Le Bateleur

5 PLACE LEDRU ROLLIN, Pezenas 04 67 98 19 96 Good food well presented makes this restaurant, near the Stephenson Cafe in Pezenas’s main market street, a lunchtime delight.

La Terrasse

2 PLACE GAMBETTA, Pezenas 04 67 98 25 11

Jovial host, good friendly service, good food, huge portions (if fish is your favourite dish, avoid eating for at least two days before ordering their huge and varied fish platter!), good service. This restaurant is in the square with the tourist office in the old town.

Le Zebra

????, Pezenas

Very friendly service, nice atmosphere, not many tables but huge portions at reasonable prices. This restaurant is habit forming. Forgotten the address will complete it when I can.

Hostellerie de Saint Alban

31 ROUTE AGDE Nézignan l’Evêque 04 67 98 11 38

Gastronomic restaurant, good food and presentation, good friendly service, quite pricy. Pleasant setting.

Le Bontemps

PLACE EGLISE Magalas 04 67 36 20 82

Bought up the old Boucherie and Magalas now boasts a gourmet restaurant. Good food good wine, chefs in white and flashing kitchen knivess now the style! Worth a visit, book early because it is booked up a long way ahead and try to persuade a rich uncle to pay, cos it is not light on the pocket...

Restaurant La Maison

9 AVENUE LA GARE Tourbes 04 67 98 86 95

Honest food, good wine, friendly service, sometimes live music.Restaurant worth visiting.

Auberge de la Tour

AVENUE PEZENAS Valros 04 67 98 52 01

Very good traditional French cooking a ’terroir’ restaurant. Good service and good wine list.

    Le Palais des Roses

    323 bd Saint Fructueux - 34400 LUNEL Tél 04.67.83.03.24 ou 06.71.95.10.03

    How many of you long for a decent curry, we have discovered a rather nice Indian restaurant in Lunel.it is called Le Palais des Roses.

    This is the closest we have come to finding an Indian restaurant in France that serves curry’s like we used to get in England. Don’t get me wrong I adore the French food but do occasionally long for something a little spicy. Ask for the hot sauce to accompany your curry, it is dynamite
