Lost in a waste tract south of Montpellier at the Mas du Saporta (A9 Exit 30, Direction Palavas), this restaurant offers an excellent window into Languedoc cuisine at lunch with its EUR 14.50 menu du jour (entrée, main course, dessert; glass of wine included). The decoration is spare but the vaulted stone rooms are cool; the food is well prepared, regardless of where, and generous in quantity; the staff is helpful and service prompt. Dinner is by reservation only.Wine lovers, the most likely visitors, will note the adjacent boutique Maison des Vins du Languedoc. It offers a well-laid out survey and selection of the various appellations of the region, with regular tastings of featured wines. Customized tastings can be arranged in advance outside of peak summer season (July-August). Call in advance: 04-67-06-04-42.
