L'Edelweiss is a new restaurant, opened in Montpellier by a couple who used to have a similar restaurant in Nimes. It specializes in Swiss cuisine, with a good background of traditional French food on the menu. Some of the Swiss specialities include fondues of all sorts and 'Pierres chaudes' my favorite, with either meat or fish and a variety of sauces. The quality of the food is excellent, and the prices very attractive. The restaurant is open for lunch everyday, and dinner only on Friday evenings. Last time I was there I had the 'Marché' menu for 11 euros, first course, main course and dessert. The first course was a lovely and very French paté made of pork and greens, served with a small salad on the side, the main course was fish with butter and lemon sauce and nice vegetable sides of a baked potato and some green beans with shallots. Dessert was a very unusual and good cold terrine of citrus fruits in honey jelly with a scoop of gingerbread ice cream. Everything I just described was 11 euros. One of my current favorites, you won't be sorry to tried it. Call to make reservations, last time I was there, people had come all the way from Nimes for dinner!
