Marché du Lez, Montpellier

1348 Avenue de la Mer-Raymond Dugrand, Montpellier, Occitanie

Description

The Marché du Lez in Montpellier mixes restaurants, bars and cafes, stores, foodtrucks and a flea market (about 20 stalls) all sprinkled with street art. Visitors can enjoy outdoor public spaces and a rooftop terrace for a meal, a drink and the occasional events (mostly musical).

Access & Transport

The development is located 4km southwest of the city centre. The closest tram stop are 'Pablo Picasso' (3) 500m away and 'Port Marianne' (1,3), 1.1km away. By car, take exit 29 or 30 on the A709. There are three car parks nearby, the closest one is paying and the other ones free.

Instructions & Recommendations

At the time of this review, the timing for the flea market was Tue-Sun from 10h00 to 19h00 and that for the restaurants is every day from 12h00-14h30 for lunch and 20h00-23h30 for dinner. Street food stalls/trucks are also open every day. Adults may want to combine this attraction with a visit of the nearby Château de Flaugergues and families can look into the aquarium of Planet Ocean World.

Meta review

Online reviews are mostly positive but often with some caveats and the concept draws comparison with the Time Out Markets venues in cities such as Lisbon. The place is at its most lively in the evenings, the quality of the F&B varies and there are recurring comments that the price-to-quality ratio is not trending favourably and that the music indoor is too loud. As for the flea market, not many mentions of it and the occasional comments give the impression that it has become secondary and there isn't much there.

Environmental & Social

No environmental or sourcing data so we deem this to be marginally negative (structures and electricity). Socially neutral

Conclusion

An enjoyable casual venue best experienced with a group of friends but not quite a tourist attraction. Probably better recommended for residents of the greater Montpellier.

Key positive

Variety of F&B and store options

Cool outdoor spots & atmosphere

Key negative

Not always the best value food and drinks

Disappointing flea market section

Suitability

Accessible to visitors with reduced mobility and suitable for all ages (but best for teenagers & adults)
