Lavista - Montpellier

The food was not special but the price was fair. The service was really fast and the waiter treated properly. The place is really amazing to stay and just enjoy the movement of people.

Represented good value for money, service slow, thirteen euros for three courses it is difficult to complain. We had duck and whilst it was not the best we have ever had it was acceptable.. The cheese board and the creme brûlée were a delight. The toilets need some attention to bring them up to a reasonable standard and in particular the lack of water for washing your hands. The tap was missing!

Located in Place Jean Jaures where there are perhaps 10 cafes serving lunch and dinner, we flipped a coin and tried Lavista. It proved to be a very nice selection. I chose the Beouf Tartare and my wife chose carpaccio of beouf. Both were served in generous portions and with Frites (french fries). The Tartare had a very rich flavor to it with many rich ingredients added. The Carpaccio was served only with drizzled olive oil. Both were from the blackboard in front fo the restaurant and each was 11.50 Euro. The inside of the restaurant is tiny and all of the diners were seated outside. The service was excellent, very efficient, unobtrusive and friendly. It was a very busy day in the city. La Halles is just up the road 1 block. Crowds were out but we were able to walk in and have a very enjoyable meal without waiting. The restaurant and staff were also very dog friendly. Go and enjoy a meal here.
