Le Vieux Siege - Béziers

Supper here last night. Food was excellent salmon tartare, bavette steak and goats cheese salad. A litre of house white for €15. Tough to fault. The issue was the surly waitress, bordering on rude. She just did not appear to like tourists. Which seems daft.

Ended up walking out as we sat down wanting to order food and the waitress started shouting 7 o’clock at us. It was 10 minutes to 7 so we assumed she was saying that we could not order until 7pm. No problem, 10 minutes is hardly a hardship. Then she came over and started shouting again and getting frustrated. We got up and left as she started swearing at us. We still don’t know what the problem was. Around 4 other tables were in the restaurant so there were plenty of other tables available to sit at, it can’t have been fully booked. There were knives and forks set out so they must have been serving food. Yes there was a language barrier but we were not going to pay to eat somewhere where someone was so rude to us.

While my stay in beautiful Beziers was very short I came across this gem of a restaurant, Its situated in a very beautiful relaxed square and the welcome and friendliness of the staff are very welcoming. I sat outside on the terrace on a lovely evening while Julia the waitress took my order. I ordered a beef steak cooked to perfection and a side dish of vegetables that were cooked in a lovely sauce.. The white house wine was delicious and the cheese board for my dessert was mouth watering.. The manager and owner of the establishment is a very welcoming person always with a smile on her face and is always there to attend to your needs. You won't be disappointed and the prices are very reasonable...

The kitchen, frame, reception and service ... Everything is perfect! A good address.

Very good value quality price. To be recommended. An amazing kitchen. Bravo!
