Eat in Euromédecine, Montpellier

Soulenq ★ 4.3

Soulenq turns a former plant nursery in Montpellier's Euromédecine quarter into a wood-fired bistro and 400-reference wine cave with a big terrace.

Tip: Buy any bottle from the cave and drink it at the table for 10 euros corkage; the name is Occitan for the harvest-end meal.

Soulenq ★ 4.3

Soulenq feeds Montpellier's Euromédecine quarter from a converted nursery, wood-fired plates on a terrace beside its own 400-reference wine shop.

Order: Wood-fired vegetables with a cave bottle.

Tip: Aim for an early-evening table: the kitchen side closes with the shop at 22:00 and the terrace fills at sunset.

Soulenq ★ 4.3

Soulenq doubles as caviste and restaurant in Montpellier's Euromédecine quarter, more than 400 grower wines beside a wood-fired kitchen and terrace.

Signature pour: Any cave bottle at the table for 10 euros corkage

Wine focus: 400-plus references from vigneron growers

Food: Wood-fired Mediterranean bistro plates

Tip: Shop the cave like a wine store, then pay 10 euros corkage to drink your bottle with dinner on the terrace.

Soulenq ★ 4.1

Soulenq runs a Mediterranean kitchen and a wine shop from the same Euromédecine address, so anything on the caviste shelves can be opened at the table.

Order: A Languedoc bottle chosen off the caviste shelf, opened at your table.

Why locals love it: A restaurant and caviste pairing out at Euromédecine, well beyond the tourist ring, where the wine shop and the kitchen share a Languedoc list most centre-city rooms cannot match.

Tip: It sits north-west of the centre near the hospitals, a tram ride rather than a walk.
