Montpellier Eating & Drinking
Just as the sights, the restaurants of Montpellier are also cherished by the tourists coming here, offering courses with smell of the sun, the garrigue, Cuttle-fish Palavas, the Langurdoc bouillabaisse, the supion, stuffed mussels, rouille, Sete tielle (kind of a tiny pie containing octopus in tomato sauce), Lou cararaoulat etc. Local special wines, the exceptional Coteaux de Languedoc and others bring diversity to this sandstone land.
The Tamarillos, owned by Philippe Chapon, among France’s well known dessert chefs (Double Champion in France), offers very unusual dishes, differing from others like foods based on fruits and flowers theme, taking care to guarantee the variation. The outcome is striking as the eating place itself is decorated with dramatic and dazzling mixture of light and color. Many colorful lights shine through glass top tables as well as through the glasses and plates making the place more beautiful.
Phillipe, being a professional, acknowledges his working years in Guy Savoy in Paris, France as a Dessert chef, Patisserie and obliged to Savoy for learning modesty and pride for his job and for constant strive for excellence from him. So the visitors should not at any cost miss the great opportunity to taste Chapon’s dessert.
