The Polygone in Beziers near the train station is about as modern a
shopping experience as you will find in the region. There are dozens of
little boutiques trying their best to be trendy on two floors surrounding an open atrium. There are chains like chocolatier
Jeff de Bruges and book/CD/DVD/crafts vendor Cultura. There's a major grocer, a
cineplex, and even a bowling alley. And, of course, a food court. On
the roof. We passed up Subway and tried Me Gusta Tapas.
It's a
nice space with outdoor tables, tables enclosed by glass but still with an
exterior feel, and an indoor room. Comfortable chairs and well-spaced
tables. Friendly service, attentive without being intrusive. Some
English.
We both ordered from the tapas menu. Cathey chose the eponymous
Me Gusta Tapas, one of several assortments. The full plate included green olives, black olives and cucumber with bits of
feta, chicken wings, grilled red and green peppers, bread slices spread
with garlicky diced tomatoes, Serrano ham, bits of pork on a skewer, and
fried potatoes with a house sauce. Cathey especially liked the crusty croquettes of creamy
mashed potatoes and bits of ham. I had meat - Serrano, chorizo, and
bellota - along with the tomato bread and a small green salad. Meat.
Lots of meat.
All in all, if not dazzlingly inventive, the food was fresh, tasty, and filling.
With
a glass of sangria for Cathey, a Spanish beer on tap for me, and a
coffee for me at the finish, the total came to 45.90 euros. Given a coupon that was worth 3
euros for parking, well worth the price for a hefty, enjoyable, leisurely food court
meal.
