Entertainment in Montpellier

  1. A

    Chez Boris

    This friendly wine bar (tapas €4 to €11, mains €13 to €20), with its regularly changing dishes and wines to match, could just as easily feature as a recommended place to eat. Early evening punters slip in for an aperitif and perhaps a snack. Later, once diners have departed, Chez Boris is also a splendid spot for a last drink.

    Friendly staff will arm you with a map of gay venues.

    This is one of the many terraces that line the city's streets. Inside, the decor is bright and Mediterranean, the atmosphere young and convivial. Gay-friendly.
