That said, two of us had the salad and shared a cheese plate and were overstuffed. The cheese plate had 4 types of cheese and 6 types of meat, all delicious. The salad was filled with artichokes and sun dried tomatoes, and zucchini, and more. There were at least 15 things to choose from on the menu. Staff were limited to 2 so they were very busy. Our waitress spoke excellent English, was incredibly attentive given her table load, and was helpful and thoughtful. Her professionalism adds a star to my score.

You can feast on tapas, which although on the pricey side, are pretty tasty. There are some good cheeses and fishy options on offer, couldn't say what the meat options were like not being a meat eater. Nice place to come with friends, they sometimes have someone playing the piano which I enjoyed. Service not too bad although it can get very busy at the weekends.

This rewarding experience has enabled us to discuss, confront our opinions and learn more about wine while discussing with dedicated wine growers – as a result we are enthusiast to share with you our 50 wines selection. Always interested in the «terroir» approach, we then went to Lozere and Aveyron (two hilly nearby regions north of Montpellier) to choose our charcuterie and cheese selection focusing on proximity and authenticity – both values that are essential to us. We are proud to work with high-quality products from top regional artisans that are established very close to where we are located. To complete our range, we have also selected some deli meats and Italian cheeses.

I came here after dinner to enjoy a few tastings of wine and a small cheese board (too much for one person!). Was so perfect! I've been wanting to sample wines from the region but haven't made it to a wine tour. This place has self serve wine pours on tap. Coolest thing ever! You put a card in the machine then select your wine and size of pour (pours range from around .90-2€ for the smallest taste and 4.80 - 7ish€ for a full pour). They also have some aperitifs. I got to sample 5 wines and loved it! Some I liked more than others, but that's the fun of it! If you love the bottle you can buy it right there and drink it or take it home. Staff is super friendly and the outdoor seating area is great! Definitely stop by if you're into wines (and if you and you're partner can't agree on red or white :P)

I loved Glouglou. It's tapas style and would be perfect for a small group of friends or a nice…read moredate. Pros: -The self-service wine bar is amazing! You go up and fill your class with either a sip, half a glass, or a full glass. They had at least 20+ different wines you could serve yourself. -The interior of Glouglou is beautiful -Good service -The food was really good. I particularly liked the escargot, the gnocchi, patatas bravas, croquettes, and cheese plate. Notes: -There is no English menu -The cheese plate changes. We went to Glouglou twice during our stay in Montpellier and each time we got different cheeses. The first time it was amazing. The second time was ok, but not phenomenal. I don't mind that it changes, but it's just worth knowing it wasn't the same.

Usually 3 mains to chose from per daily set (along with 3 starters and 3 deserts). they use only fresh ingredients form the market. They cook traditional French food. The food is very delicate, fine, well prepared. The chef is very young but you can tell he knows what he is doing. Staff: very helpful, always willing to describe all dishes and their customization. A big plus for the pork wellington. They serve genuine "pata negra" smoked black pork ham from spain (see photo). Make sure you try it! Outdoor seating. Make sure you book a table or show up super early! A set costs about 28 Euros.
