Half coffee shop, half natural wine bar, in the Écusson. The owner is from the Aubrac, and you feel it in the wines, the boards, the whole spirit. The terrace is tiny, and that's exactly the charm.

A Korean fusion bistro run by chef Amélie Young Min, sitting on the beautiful Place de la Canourgue. Inventive plates, bold flavors, sunny terrace: one of the coolest spots in central Montpellier.

Around thirty works by the most famous cat in street art, free entry in the heart of Montpellier. The kind of exhibition that gets people talking even if they never usually set foot in a gallery.
