Restaurant coté terrasse — Restaurant in Lodève

This one is kind of difficult to rate. I would have given 3.5 if possible, but this is not an option. Everything started off quite nicely having turned up without a booking, thr waiter who welcomed us suggested to return 20 mins later and a table would be available. The restaurant is very small and only has a handful of tables set under a large canopy to keep the sun at bay. The setting itself is cute but I would say it is nothing out of the ordinary. After about 10 minutes wait we were finally handed some drinks menus (food menus are on the table) by one of the waitresses who was clearly not amused to be there. Anyhow we made our choice of drinks and food and waited... It was clearly difficult for the staff to keep up, but it was a pity not to have least been greeted with a carafe of water considering the heat and the wait. After about 20 minutes we finally managed to place our order, again without much of a smile. Drinks then turned up and were quite nice (mojito with season fruit). As for food we had made a selection of one of the menus at 21€ and when it came, the starter was very nice (perigord salad and an aubergine paté - dariole d'aubergines) . After finishing the starter we waited again and the funny thing was the waitress came around asking if we were ready to order deserts, to which I pointed out that we were still waiting for the main course. A little wait and no apology or smile later the main course came. This again was very nice although nothing special (chicken strips with a taragon sauce, chips and some very nice seasonal vegetables). After that we debated whether we would take a desert or not, but we decided to only take a coffee considering the slow service and the clear lack of enthusiasm. All in all food wise, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the place, everything is nicely prepared and the setting is pleasant and a but out of the way of the hustle and bustle of the town center. The major downside, and unfortunately a key element to any restaurant meal, is poor,...

We visited this restaurant on a rare evening out, excited after reading so many positive reviews. Unfortunately, our experience didn’t quite match the high expectations. While the atmosphere was nice and the staff friendly at first, we felt uncomfortable when we mentioned that our food was overcooked. Rather than addressing it with care, it felt like we were being a burden for simply wanting our meals done right.

To add to that, the dessert we had been looking forward to was sold out—and so was the beer my husband ordered. We understand that things run out, but both instances were handled in a way that left us feeling more like an inconvenience than welcomed guests.

It might have just been an off night, but for us, it was disappointing—especially for what was supposed to be a special evening. We expected more given...

Delicious food and variety of choices; you can sit only outside so for sure it's a great place when the weather is nice. There are also kittens wandering around which makes it super cute, but when it comes to interiors/design it is not a very typical or a beautiful place - it has a specific vibe that maybe not everyone will be fans of. Staff speaks English, so they can translate everything from the menu (as there's no eng...
