La Terrasse du Mimosa

La Terrasse du Mimosa | Montpeyroux

Define La Terrasse du Mimosa?
Is it a wine bar, a wine shop, a restaurant? The three ! And much more: a place to live.
On the village square of Montpeyroux, between the open halls and the refreshing fountain, spread here and there wooden tables and chairs, benches and barrels which set the tone: relaxed and warm welcome. Wine by the glass in hand, a bottle in an ice bucket, seated or standing, the aperitif begins at two, then at three, then more, people here come by, stop, chat and leave. A flow that animates the wine bar, like a play in several acts, according to the colorful characters passing by. The wine bar is above all a place of village life, where one-night tourists have the impression of being there forever.
We discuss the blue sky of Montpeyroux, as unique as that of Klein or the Sun King (nothing less!), and especially the wines that we share, from a menu developed with special tenderness and recognition. for the winegrowers of the Terrasses du Larzac, by the big boss: Clotaire Gaillard. Wines from elsewhere too, from other regions, even from other countries. Sure values, novelties, it moves, it lives, on the shelves of the cellar.
Finally, you can settle down, settle down, outside or inside in an artistic-Mediterranean setting, in the tone given by a fresco by Flipo, or in a slightly more intimate way on the first floor. Make way for the queen plate on which the local product is king. A dish never lasts more than a month, because the season changes and so do the products. The Mimosa terrace is therefore also a place of life because creation is never frozen there, but constantly adjusted and questioned. A walk in Lozère and the chef returns with a salad bowl of chanterelles that he will fry for a few evening dishes. A few pork presses obtained thanks to privileged ties he has with a supplier and here is a plate that sublimates this pink cooked meat accompanied by a few skilfully cooked artichokes.
