The story
In the heart of Montpellier, at 11 rue des Trésoriers de la Bourse, Hôtel Pinard presents a focused French dinner experience that has earned a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence. This recognition underscores a commitment to a carefully curated wine program that complements the kitchen's output.
The restaurant opens its doors from Tuesday to Saturday, with evening service starting at 18h on weekdays and an earlier 16h opening on Saturdays. The atmosphere, as suggested by the name "Pinard" (a French slang for wine), leans into a convivial, wine-centric spirit. The approach is direct: guests are encouraged to reserve by phone or via Instagram direct message, keeping the interaction personal and uncomplicated.
While the restaurant's own website keeps the narrative tight, the Wine Spectator award speaks to a serious dedication to the vine. For those seeking a dinner rooted in French cuisine with a wine list that stands out on a global stage, Hôtel Pinard offers a deliberate, quality-driven evening in Montpellier.
