First, let me put my rating in context. La Part des Anges is not a fine dining establishment and…read moreis not rated as such. It is a first class tapas bar and hang out and is rated as that type of restaurant. It is as good as I have seen anywhere in the world for a tapas bar. The tapas contain first-rate ingredients, are prepared fresh as you order, and are very generously servings relative to the cost. Likewise, the drinks are well made and fairly priced. The bar is comfortable, clean and has a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. If you don't speak French, both the workers spoke excellent English. Everything about this place is excellent from the music, to the workers, to the food, decor, and ambience. Want a comfortable, relaxed, welcoming place a bit off the beaten path to graze on tasty tapas in Montpellier? This is your spot. We'll be back.

We accidentally stumbled upon this restaurant thinking it was a different restaurant we had…read moreoriginally wanted to try. Luckily it turned out to be the best choice! From the looks of the restaurant, it has a down-home, country feel. I guess I was anticipating the food to be average. I was completely blown away with the quality and creativity of each item on the menu! I had ordered the veggie slaw as an appetizer, the pork shoulder as my main entree, and the roasted white eggplant for dessert. Everything was phenomenal! We had stayed in France for about two weeks and this restaurant was one of my absolute favorites, even including the fine dining restaurants we had eaten at. The wait staff is extremely friendly, knowledgable and helpful. He was very attentive and went above and beyond to make sure our meal was enjoyable. The entire experience was quite lovely. I highly recommend eating here!

Service is welcoming and accommodating for my poor attempt at culinary French terms. The Chef even came out to answer questions at three occasions. First up, a trio of amuse bouches called land and sea. I don't typically like foie gras but this was incredible. I would actually order this again if ever back in Avignon. The Parmesan biscuit was technically amazing, with such subtle flavor, crispy on the outside, and soft, light and creamy inside. The mushroom "egg roll" was crispy, flaky with great umami. The Jerusalem artichoke risotto was my absolute favorite; I'll likely dream of this dish and try to replicate the recipe. It's unlike anything I've had before, so creative, unique and insanely delicious. The artichokes were cooked perfectly , tender but still firm. The risotto was actually a thick, creamy foam, packed with bold creamy flavor and truffles on top. The sea bream was glistening with the crispiest skin, along with carrots and a silky champagne sauce. The veal was so tender with the most delightful sweet onion tart. The tart was surprisingly good with the best onions I've ever had. Kudos to the chef for shopping the market everyday for the freshest and highest quality products! The scallops were sliced beautifully and were balanced so well with the acidity of raspberries and pomegranates. We started out with the strongest amuse bouches, and Chef didn't disappoint from there, maintaining and exceeding our palette's expectations. Chef Mohamad deserves a Michelin rank!!

I went here eight years ago and it was really good. Wait staff were attentive, the food was good,…read morethe restaurant had great ambiance. Went back today and there must have been a change in owner and direction. The food was mediocre, there were only two wait staff for the entire restaurant and they could not keep up. The place was not full and they were turning people away which was good because they couldn't handle the volume as it was. We ordered the wine pairing, the wine server never brought our last wine, the other server apologized and brought us a liquor that was quite sad. Unfortunate because they still have a beautiful courtyard.
