Sète is a 44 000-resident Hérault port city built on the slopes of Mont Saint-Clair between the Mediterranean and the Étang de Thau oyster lagoon, nicknamed the Venice of Languedoc for its grid of working canals. Leashed dogs are welcomed on virtually every canal-side terrace along the Quai Général Durand, Quai de la Marine and Quai de la Résistance, where the local fishing fleet unloads daily and the tielle Sétoise bakeries scent the streets.

EUR 24-38 per main; tasting menu EUR 58
