GIMENEZ SABOUCO

When you feel like you haven’t been out for a month due to the rain and cold, and you finally get a decent dog walk in, and you walk back towards home via the Polygone Shopping Centre and decide to stop and people-watch in one of the upstairs bars. A happy hour board catches your eye. Okay, here! That’s innovative! You stop with your pooch and ask for a glass of Sauvignon. A paucity of other people both within the establishment and outside leads to not much people-watching, so the bill is requested. Unfortunately, it seems it’s the customers role to get up and go inside and find the till to pay the bill. One glass of Sauvignon, €6! No Happy Hour price there! And more than the average town centre price too! And here is where this whole sorry story could have been saved, but arrogantly wasn’t. To be admonishingly informed that the Sauvignon wasn’t in the Happy Hour wine, but the Chardonnay was, and that this was clearly written on the board outside. Yet to not be informed of that upon ordering… not cool. Not cool at all. To then be patronised for my incredulity at the price, to the point of being told to look at my receipt where “Madame, it clearly says €6”! Tired of this attitude towards customers in the hospitality industry, one’s brain immediately turns to Google reviews… taking a photo of the happy hour board, I notice that actually the happy hour wine is a Viognier and not a Chardonnay. So even the ‘patron’ising chap inside was wrong! Is it any wonder that so many of the restaurants are boarded up along that upper Polygone promenade, with this seemingly homogeneously haughty attitude to clients? Is this rooted in lazy, unrecognised zenophobia? Or touristophobia? An assumption that my business doesn’t matter because I am but a fleeting Euro in their dwindling coffers? Well, that’s rather disingenuous of them. I’ve probably lived here longer than that ‘patron’. Although I have to say, unless the hospitality attitudes pick up, I won’t both staying for another

The waitress chahineze is the best waitress I've seen in France. She is so smiley and friendly. Lovely night and great food 😍

I don’t recommend this place. Too expensive, food is not nice at all. Service so so. There’s much better places in the city rather than this place…

Excellent food and very friendly service. Many thanks Serge.

Went with 3 adults, terrace in the shade. Very good food & kind staff for a good price. We can certainly recommend the shrimp, white sangria and virgin cocktails! We only took a bunch of tapas to share, but main courses can also be ordered. A parking ticket was given on our way out that reduced the price of 2 hours. Good experience!

We had a wonderful evening 1/7-2024, coctail, wine, food and service very good and we will be back :-) only thing that was missed, was the kit's of the kids

Just passing through Beziers, really surprised to find this wonderful little tapas bar perched on top of a shopping mall. Waiters professional, really friendly and great food. Will return next time passing we are in Beziers!!

Very very good. Probably the best around. Not expensive, good and tasty lots of choices , beautiful and very friendly employees. More than worth it. ☆☆☆☆☆
