Le Paresseur — Restaurant in Montpellier

A great innovative restaurant in the heart of the city's old quarter. You may sit outside or inside in a very comfortable setting and enjoy truly amazing food! Several dishes are innovative fusions and creations that mix the great diversity of French ingredients in very tasty dishes. Whether you're looking for tender meat, boneless meaty fish, carpaccios, pork or more, this place won't disappoint. Literally every dish is incredible.

The atmosphere is great, suitable for mid-size to large groups of friends as well as for couples. The decor is beautiful, a nice rustic-modern blend with just the right amount of light.

The locations is excellent, just a few steps from La Place de la Comédie which is the historic center. Parking is available close enough to reach within a 5 minutes walk.

The price range is standard for an upper mid-range restaurant. The staff are very friendly and professional and also English speaking to accommodate foreign tourists. Highly...

Entrée is creative but they don’t give my friends and me any impression. I don’t really like the entrée.

Nori et Tempura/Seaweed and Tempura: I cannot recognise what ingredient is used to make it and it is quite wired to eat “sweet” tempura with seaweed.

Asperges Vertes/Green Asparagus: The skin of the green asparagus hasn’t been peeled so it is very hard to chew them.

Salade d’encornets rouge de Méditerranée, mayonnaise épicée, kimchi/Mediterranean red squid salad with spicy mayonnaise and kimchi: Not spicy, not interesting and there isn’t kimchi inside

The texture of Bœuf d’Aubrac is OK but it tastes a bit weird. The caramelized onions are good.

The outside film of the Octopus hasn't been removed and some parts are overcooked.

Grilled small potato is good but it could be better if it is less greasy.

Service and the white wine are super good but the quality of foods and cooking skills need to improve to match “the price” written...

I’m sorry to say this was very disappointing. Despite the upstairs room being almost empty, we were shown into the basement where an overly bright fluorescent light fixture was dazzling in a space that should’ve been calm and somewhat vintage feeling with its exposed stone arches. Almost immediately we had to ask for the music to be turned down in this cave like space. The music was inappropriate as well as too loud. Our first course ceviche was good if small for the price. But all three main courses were served tepid and the fish of the day was inedible, full of tendons and stringy. I sent it back and it was replaced and the second time round the dish was warm but it was still not very well-made. We did mention our concerns as we left and were comped two glasses of wine But I certainly wouldn’t recommend the place nor...
