L'Orangerie - Béziers

We booked for lunch and were not disappointed. It was a lovely summers day with a festival feeling and the restaurant sits in a bustling side street of the main 'allees'. The food was not over fancy but honest , well cooked and delicious. We had a chicken escalope and a smoked salmon salad. The local wine list impressive and the one we chose an excellent addition.

I had a mid-week lunch here in February. Unfortunately there is no 'menu de jour', so I had to order à la carte which pushes the price up considerably. I chose a tartare de saumon as a starter and the plat de jour which that day was a poulet basquaise.Both were correctly prepared and the service was pleasant and efficient, but the price of the plat de jour at 14€90 was more than the price of an equally good full menu such as can be found nearby.Another serious fault is that there are no toilets on the ground floor so anyone with mobility problems would be in difficulty.In short; reasonable food and service, but a 'meny de jour' and a fair price and toilets on the ground floor are serious omissions.

Fantastic lunch.camembert to start followed by burger with frites and salad with a superb bottle of rose finished with coffee. Lovely surroundings and friendly waitress

We stopped in Beziers on our trip from Nice to Saint Castin. Road-tripping through La France. Great food, great, friendly service, superb weather - Merci!

Tucked away off the beaten track in the old centre of Beziers this bistro has a bar and a few small tables downstairs and a good-sized main dining room upstairs
