Diners love the creative surprise menus and the charming ambiance, whether dining indoors or outdoors.

"It is a Michelin 1-star restaurant and recommended to make reservation in advance. Restaurant starts at 8pm.
There is only a set 5 course menu at €75 per person, and if you choose to have wine pairing, another €45.
The food was presented beautifully with explanation of the ingredients. The ambience is good overall."

"So, this was my first time at a Michelin Star restaurant, and it for sure lived up to the hype. I ate at lunch, and had the full menu (4 courses) for 55 euro. Totally worth it. Everything was delicious but the stars in my opinion were the 2nd main (veal 2 ways, which had a sauce that I literally just wanted to eat by the spoonful. It reminded me a bit of a mole, it had chocolate and coffee notes for sure) and the dessert (apricot cake, ice cream, panacotta and various creams and sauces). I didn't do the full wines, because I still had things to do that day, but the staff did recommend a lovely local white that was just my taste. As a lady dining alone, I found the staff to be very accommodating and thoughtful. A really great experience, you should for sure go for it."

If you sit inside, you’ll be treated to exposed stone walls and pristine white tablecloths, and if you sit outdoors, you can gaze up at the magnificent Sainte Anne church.

L’élégante salle aux accords blanc beige met en valeur les assiettes concoctées par les nouveaux propriétaires du Pastis qui se sont connus chez Michel Bras : Daniel Lutrand et Jean-Philippe Vivant. C’est le marché et l’inspiration qui les guident pour élaborer le menu surprise servi au déjeuner et au dîner. Ajoutez à cela un menu qui décline des accords mets-vins et vous comprendrez que le Pastis mérite largement son étoile au guide Michelin mais aussi sa place dans la sélection du Fooding (catégorie Cuisine d'auteur)

Daniel Lutrand (in the kitchen) and Jean-Philippe Vivant (in the dining room) met when they were working for the Bras family in Laguiole. You can therefore book at Pastis with your eyes closed. Especially since the pretty decor in stone, metal, blond wood and smoked glass and the evening menu at 50 € (to which the more adventurous among you will add 30 € for the food-wine pairing) will delight the aesthetes doubled as gourmets that you are.
Montpellier (updated 2024
Michelin-starred Pastis is a simple but superb restaurant in the old city. I had lunch there on my first visit to Montpellier, in a very tasteful dining room that I would say is possibly the most beautiful beige space I’ve ever seen, the acceptable face of taupe. The menu here’s a surprise one (no swaps, unless you have allergies) but every one of the surprises was very pleasant indeed.
