About this place Café de la Mer

Café de la Mer is the undisputed social centre of the Montpellier gay scene. Perched on Place du Marché aux Fleurs, a small square in the heart of the historic centre, its large terrace fills from mid-morning with students, locals and visitors enjoying coffee, wine and conversation in the Mediterranean sunshine. Inside is darker and more intimate, with a good cocktail list and a friendly, young staff. This is the bar where the city's queer community gravitates after work and before clubbing. On Pride weekend it is the essential starting point for every gathering.

Passion fruit lemonade, very refreshing but so sweet. I'll pass. Nice terrace though.

The waiter with the protruding ears (so you can tell who he was) was extremely unpleasant, arrogant, and unprofessional. It bordered on disrespectful, I'd even say it was! I suggest he consider a career change if customer service isn't his forte! Avoid at all costs!
