LE MINERVOIS BEL

LE MINERVOIS BEL - 2 rue des Écoles, 34210 Olonzac

Le Minervois Bel is a new experience. We were introduced to it by Swedish friend I have learned to know through blogging about Languedoc. As they live nearby we decided to meet at the very good restaurant Le Minervois Bel in Olonzac. It is a traditional French restaurant and the food is excellent. The prize is very reasonable and the environment is pleasant and so is the service.

We had our lunch in the garden which is very nice in the summer. There was no problem whatsoever to change certain things on the set menu. This was really a pleasant experience and I am sure we will return soon again.

Revisited 2013: We came back with some other friends that live in the village. This time we sat inside, which is very pleasant in the winter. The food and service was as good as last time and as we sometimes have special demands we were pleased that it was no problem at all to do alterations from the set menu.

Revisited September 2013: As always the food was very good and the service pleasant. As this is a gourmet restaurant it is surprising that they do not let you taste the wine - just put the bottle on the table. They also place the small starters and sweets in the end on the corner of the table and let the guests distribute them. Not a serious thing, but not what you expect.
Again we had the bad luck to be in the same restaurant as an American party. We were a number of people in the restaurant - English and French -  and the noise level was very low. The Americans came in and made it totally impossible for anyone else to communicate. I do not understand why grown up people must behave as they were on a stag-party.

Revisited May 2015: We had the menue of the day. It was absolutely perfect and we were sitting in the nice garden.
