Some options for apéritif and eating in the centre of Montpellier
The area around the Corum and Place de la Comédie is packed with bars and restaurants, of varying quality and prices. The historic centre (the ‘Ecusson’, up rue de la Loge on your right when facing Théatre de la Comédie) is particularly atmospheric and enjoyable to stroll through.
