Le Jardin des Sens

A celebrated Michelin-starred showcase in Montpellier for the cooking of the Pourcel brothers, where foodie pilgrims are nourished spectacularly by brilliant reinventions of Mediterranean flavours.

11 Avenue Saint Lazare, 34000, Montpellier

Le Tracteur

Keep an eye peeled for the rusting orange vintage tractor that marks the location of this unpretentious and intimate restaurant in a converted farm building. Tabletops are made from old wine-cask ends, and an open kitchen serves a simple three-course menu that changes daily depending on what the chef finds in the local markets. Two choices for each course include seasonal comfort food such as velouté of squash with cep mushrooms and duck’s liver.
