Soulenq

SOULENQ is a Mediterranean bistro in Montpellier that combines a convivial restaurant and an extensive caviste under one roof and is noted by the Michelin Guide (Selected, modern cuisine). The kitchen uses fresh, raw ingredients delivered daily and builds relationships with local producers and trusted suppliers to showcase seasonal products and terroir-driven flavours, while an in-house team of sommeliers oversees 400–500 wine references. Since the team took over in 2020, SOULENQ presents creative, approachable Mediterranean dishes with generous hospitality and simple, well‑executed cooking; it stages themed evenings, wine tastings, workshops and live events, offers tailored menus and privatisation for corporate and family events, and permits customers to buy bottles at caviste prices with a fixed corkage fee. A warm, relaxed bistrot atmosphere fills a vibrant dining room and a dedicated cave/retail area, with a sunny terrace and convivial, informal seating designed for sharing and discovery. The vibe is friendly, unpretentious and oriented around wine and social dining. Modern Mediterranean bistro cooking highlights seasonal, locally sourced daily produce from regional producers and pairs creative, approachable flavours with sommeliers for food-and-wine pairings. Specialties include tartelette with confit beef; grilled pork chop (côte de cochon grillée); crozets with truffle; île flottante with truffle; and dos de cabillaud (cod loin).
