Jacques and Laurent Pourcel are at the helm of the restaurant of the lavish 17C Richer de Belleval Hotel located in the heights of Montpellier. Beneath head-spinning ceiling frescoes or on the exquisite courtyard patio, it is a joy to (re)sample the culinary talents of the Montpellier twins in which every detail is puzzled and preened over as they finetune Gallic recipes adding their hallmark creative stamp. We warrant that Richer de Belleval, botanist and founder of Montpellier’s botanic gardens, would have appreciated this gourmet score!
