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!)

Halloween, Noël, Saint Sylvestre ou Saint Valentin, chaque fête est prétexte à l'ingéniosité artistique des gérants. Au menu, les incontournables grillades au feu de bois accompagnées de patates à la cendre, sans oublier le requin grillé ou la portion de frites d'ananas en dessert. En solitaire ou à plusieurs, le lieu seul vaut presque le détour.

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!

The food is on the affordable side (starters are under 5 euros and mains anywhere between 9 and 14 euros). Located near the conservatory of music, "Le Boeuf" (which means both "beef" and "music jam" in French) feature live music every week and a jam session once a month. Lot of talented local artists come over to jam. they have an outdoor patio area. Cheap drinks. Recommended!
