This restaurant is in the heart of Montpellier. We made a reservation for 4. We waited about 5…read moreminutes before we get our table. The waitress was polite and food was served about 15 minutes. We ordered the local dishes like duck, fish and meats all are very delicious. Be sure to have someone who can speak french with you because not all locals can communicate in English.

Genuinely surprised to see this is rated any less than 4 stars!…read more It was a fantastic meal with INCREDIBLE value. For 22€ you get a simple salad, great quality steak with a phenomenal dipping sauce, delicious thin-cut fries. Then you get the steak & fries all over again! No idea how it's 22€ with that quality of meat. The meal IS simple. In fact there is no menu. But they do what they do -- steak frites -- really well and there's no doubt about it!! I will say they go a LOT more rare than you say so I would ask for it more cooked (and then you'd probably get what you do want). I like my steak medium and definitely got it rare. I had to send it back more than once until I said okay just make it well done, and then it was perfectly medium. Not sure if this is a trait in all of the city, but pro tip! Enjoy.

. We just got back…read morefrom l' Entrecote. Went on basis of a Yelp review, our first visit. Nestled amid a sea of carnival-type semi fast food joints, this is a unique and good prix-fixe' steak place. Style is butter-seared lightly cooked heavy beef back-strap; steak is then thin-sliced warm & returned to a lightly-seasoned molten butter filled chafing dish for diners to remove at their own pace so it stays WARM. Cautions: Make sure waitresses have your desired degree of done-ness accurately. Go early or face a long waiting-for-table que. Also, languages in-use are a patois, which we are very familiar with, but still got misunderstood. Confusing restrooms needed attention. Meal is good quality & good value. We skipped dessert for a. gelato place about 4 doors down. The gelato was primo. Were we living here, l' Entrecote would be on our "several-times-a-year" list. Rick .

This is probably one of my favorite steakhouses in town. The meals are awesome, they're very tasty…read more It's a classical restaurant not very original, but the prices are really good. They even have a loyalty card program and a -20% off when showing your student id. So if you're a student you can eat a great meal in a nice restaurant without spending a lot! I say you give this place a try!

From the owner: L'autre Hyppopotamus de Montpellier Créée en 1968, la chaîne de restaurants au décor rouge et métal…read mores'est spécialisée dans la viande grillée. Pantagruélique, non ? Hippopotamus est apprécié surtout par les amateurs de viandes : carpaccios, tartares de bœuf, steaks, entrecôtes, onglets sont à déguster à n'importe quelle heure de la journée, au travers d'une dizaine de formules. Poissons, recettes exotiques et plats végétariens sont aussi à la carte, car Hippopotamus veut suivre la tendance en matière de goûts actuels, et surfe comme beaucoup sur la mode world-food. Côté déco, le concept mise sur le style contemporain, composé de murs de briques et de lumière tamisée, un décor qui se veut feutré et très classique. Pour les cinéphiles, on notera la formule Hippo Ciné qui offre une réduction sur une place de cinéma, c'est un des atouts de la chaîne.

Went for lunch today and our waitress was Coralie! She was amazing considering how many table she…read morewas taking care of!! Husband had the original cheeseburger which was delicious! I had the carpaccio creotia which was so tasty and delicious. She knew enough English to help out us American's who speak little French! She was friendly, patience and funny!! Highly recommend her if you can sit in her section! This is our 2nd time back and would go again in a heartbeat and ambiance, great tasting food and service was 5 stars!!

The owner tells us that his is the sunniest terrasse in town and so we sit outside. They have a wonderful concept for selling wine called by the Ficelle. You get a whole bottle, but only pay for what you drink. We drank the whole thing. With the wine they serve a small dish of tapenade. I think it was the best I have ever tasted. I started with a small squash soup for a healthy introduction to the meal and followed it with foie gras au pain d'épice. I thought I was going to get foie gras with gingerbread toasts, but no, the gingerbread is incorporated into the foie gras and it was absolutely decadently delicious. (Just a note that pain d'épice is actually bread and not a gingerbread cookie.) The salad is just fresh lettuce with oil and balsamic vinegar, but the lettuce is so fresh that it looks like they brought it directly from the garden to the plate. My wife had an excellent quiche with duck confit and mushrooms. In addition to delicious food, the ambiance was also delightful with huge welcomes for the locals and a bit of a festive atmosphere as guests enjoyed the early spring sunshine.

The food here is incredible. My friend and I just happened to be walking down a random street when…read morewe passed by this restaurant, and when I saw the cool wall art that they have of a pig in a suit and bowtie I knew we had to go in. I love pork, so I figured we could give this place a try, and boy am I glad we did!! The menu is pretty simple and straightforward, you can order meat (we got pork, but others ordered beef) and you can order some sides... we chose to get the garlic bread, corn on the cob, and loaded potatoes. Everything was finger licking good. ...(and I really hate licking my fingers because that's what moist towelettes are for, but neither my friend nor I had time to even think about asking for a moist towelette because the food was just too good.. we couldn't stop ourselves from pigging out- no pun intended). Just do yourself a favor and stop here if you're in Montpellier. But make sure to call in advance and make reservations or go early because they're very popular! (For all the right reasons!)
