The story
After eight years of consistent brilliance at L’Idée Saveurs, Chef Richard Juste and his partner Sabrina Delcros have opened Mahé. Their new restaurant in Montpellier is a larger, more comfortable space with a lovely garden, allowing them to welcome guests with the same passion that defined their earlier work.
The guiding principle at Mahé is respect: for the producer, for the fruit of their labor, for the season, and for the guest. Chef Juste’s modern cuisine is described as sincere and flavorful, with no fuss or pretension. The credo is clear: let the ingredients speak, and let the cooking be honest and direct. This approach has earned the restaurant a Michelin Recommended distinction, a testament to its consistent quality and integrity.
The restaurant’s new home is more spacious and comfortable than its predecessor, with a pretty garden for outdoor seating during warmer months. The atmosphere is one of genuine hospitality—warm, welcoming, and without any unnecessary frills. It is a place where the focus remains squarely on the food and the experience of sharing it.
