Bistrot des Terrasses — Restaurant in Lodève

Overall good experience. The staff is very friendly, they speak good English and helped us to decipher the menu. 3 different people, including the chef himself, came to our table to inquire if everything was OK. This tells me that they do care and that impressed me. Hence, I would like to say what I think about my dish (grilled chicken skewer with dried apricots, curry sauce, salad and fries). I'm no chef but I do have an idea of what works, so take it for what it is.

The chicken-apricot-curry combination works really well. Personally, I would have liked to be more daring with the seasoning of the chicken. It needed a bit more "kick". Also, being chicken, it is naturally a lean and dry meat. The curry sauce was very good, but not enough to balance the dryness of the chicken. Fried potatoes were good too, but just added to the overall dryness. Maybe it would work better with some Basmati or Jasmin rice. The salad was good and a much needed relief for the palate.

So, forgive my rather long comment. It's 5am, I can't sleep and this was floating in my head. 😅 Keep up...

Went here yesterday and I got to say the food was amazing! Best food I have had in a long time. For starter I chose beef tartare which was heavenly tasteful. For main I chose the entrecote, and that was the biggest piece of meat I have ever seen, it was so tasty, you could really taste the quality of the meaat, but I wished they would offer two sizes of steak, maybe a smaller cut (I would have been happy with half of the size of the steak) and had to give nearly half of it away. For dessert I had lavender cream brulee, which was AMAZING, the party I was with all enjoyed their dishes, I can't wait to come...

Hands down! This is the best burger I've ever had! Got the bliss point of sweet and citric with pickle and home made sauce. It wasn't greasy nor too salty, yet packed with flavors from the meat covered in melting cheese and airy bun, all just too perfect! The fries were exceptional too, it was fried in beef fat so it gives a special taste/aroma to the already delicious fries. This is my second time coming to the area, out of all the amazing restaurants this region offers, I chose the exact same restaurant and same dish as last time, because...
