Les Ostals — Restaurant in Béziers

What a lovely restaurant. The place was devided into 4-5 sections. One area has seated areas indoors. 3 areas were designated for patio-outdoor seating. There was also one area that was full of art. The bathrooms were at the entrance and very clean. The kitchen was viewable from the front entrance hallway. The menu was small and simple it has something for everyone. We came for lunch so the menu was limited. The dinner menu looked just as good! We each had an appetizer and a main. We ate the tomato with feta and the melon salad. They were super delicious and easy to share. We ordered the beef tartar for our main. We got the smaller portion (thankfully) and it was amazing. It wasn't what I expected though. I like my tartar in small cubes. This was ground beef in the shape of a hamburger. There was so much beef! We loved our lunch and would eat it again. The servers were friendly and spoke a few different languages. The wine was...

We ducked into Les Ostals for a cold drink on a hot afternoon. We stayed for hours, and the drink stretched to a late lunch, with dessert, followed by coffee. The food was fantastic - for a vegan visitor to France, the crudités and houmous were a godsend, while the meat eater among us was very happy indeed with the charcuterie. The sorbets were fantastic - the lime and basil flavour was tart and refreshing, while apricot and rosemary was a revelation.

The setting itself was beautiful. We sat - very gratefully - in the shade of the courtyard. The art exhibition was a bonus. Best of all, perhaps, was the conversation with Pierre (with his wife, he is co-owner of Les Ostals). We covered everything under the sun, it felt, from 'Rosemary's Baby' to the weather in Brittany.

Can't say enough good things about this place. It's a hidden gem. A little quaint courtyard with gobs of history that comes through in the centuries old walls. One of the oldest buildings in Beziers. We ate there on a Thursday midday and were seated immediately . We had the cream of corn soup and the ratatouille with beef. The food was awesome. All the veggies were fresh and all the flavors were well balanced. Nothing was over powering. We ordered local wine which was amazing. A Rosé and Cinsault. The tiramisu for dessert was second to none. This type of meal would easily be 3 times more expensive in the US but here totally affordable. Come to this place! They also have a rotating art show....
