Restaurant in Béziers, France
Two Bib Gourmands. Solid value. Book ahead.
Pica Pica holds back-to-back Michelin Bib Gourmand awards (2024 and 2025) and a 4.5 Google rating across more than 1,300 reviews — the most evidence-backed value dining option in Béziers. Chef Nadia Agsen runs a Mediterranean kitchen at the €€ price point that outpunches its tier. Book here before spending more elsewhere.
Pica Pica holds two consecutive Michelin Bib Gourmand awards (2024 and 2025), which tells you something concrete: independent inspectors have returned, found consistent quality, and flagged this as a place offering good cooking at a fair price. At the €€ price point, this is the strongest value-anchored argument for a special occasion dinner in Béziers. If you want Mediterranean cooking with a credible kitchen behind it and you are not looking to spend at the level of Calice or L'Alter-Native, book Pica Pica first.
Pica Pica is a Mediterranean restaurant in the centre of Béziers, on Boulevard Jean Jaurès, under chef Nadia Agsen. It is not a large-format dining room with an extended tasting menu — it is the kind of place where a two-Bib Gourmand run signals a kitchen that knows exactly what it is doing within a focused register. The Bib Gourmand designation specifically rewards quality cooking at accessible prices, so you are not paying for room theatrics or a fifteen-course progression. You are paying for well-executed Mediterranean food that Michelin inspectors considered worth singling out two years running.
The address on Boulevard Jean Jaurès places Pica Pica in central Béziers, within reach of the old town and the Canal du Midi area. For visitors combining a meal with an evening in the city, the location is practical. The broader Béziers dining scene is covered in our full Béziers restaurants guide; for accommodation pairing, see our Béziers hotels guide.
Two Bib Gourmand cycles is meaningful context for a celebration booking. Michelin's Bib Gourmand is awarded to restaurants where inspectors find cooking of real interest at a price point that does not require justification in the way a one-star or two-star dinner does. For a date or an anniversary where you want a kitchen with a track record rather than a gamble, Pica Pica removes the uncertainty. The 4.5 Google rating across 1,333 reviews — a large sample for a mid-tier restaurant in a city of this size , reinforces that the kitchen performs consistently, not just on inspection days.
At €€, the bill for two at dinner will sit comfortably below what you would spend at L'Ambassade (€€€) or Calice (€€€), both of which operate at the next price tier. If budget is a consideration for your occasion, Pica Pica gives you Michelin-recognised cooking without crossing into the upper tier. If you want to spend more, Calice and L'Alter-Native are the natural step up within Béziers.
Specific hours are not published in our current data, so confirm the kitchen's last seating before you plan around a late dinner. In French provincial dining, kitchens at this level in a mid-size city like Béziers typically take final orders between 9:00 and 9:30 PM, but this should be verified directly with the restaurant. If you are planning a late arrival after a visit to Béziers's old town or the arena district, call ahead to confirm. For after-dinner options in Béziers, see our full Béziers bars guide.
Booking at Pica Pica is rated Easy. Given the Bib Gourmand profile and the 1,333-review volume, it will fill on weekends and during the summer season in the Hérault , book a few days ahead for Friday or Saturday dinner and further out during July and August when the region draws more visitors. Mid-week and shoulder-season bookings should be direct. No website or phone number is currently listed in our data; search the venue name and address directly to locate current booking options. Dress code is not specified; a smart-casual standard is appropriate for a Bib Gourmand-level dinner in France.
For regional context on Mediterranean cooking at a higher price tier, Mirazur in Menton and Arnaud Donckele and Maxime Frédéric at Louis Vuitton in Saint-Tropez represent the ceiling of the format in the South of France. Closer to this price tier in intent, La Brezza in Ascona offers a comparable Mediterranean register. For Bib Gourmand-level cooking in France more broadly, the standard is set by kitchens like Bras in Laguiole and historically by houses such as Auberge de l'Ill in Illhaeusern and Flocons de Sel in Megève.
Within Béziers, the natural comparisons are La Maison de Petit Pierre at the same Mediterranean and €€ level, and La Table de Jean for a further local option. The full competitive picture is addressed in the comparison section below.

Yes, for a solo dinner in Béziers at the €€ level, Pica Pica is a solid choice. A Bib Gourmand kitchen at this price means you are eating well without a bill that requires a second person to justify it. There is no published counter or bar seating information in our current data, so contact the restaurant directly if you want to confirm the format for a single diner.
At €€ with back-to-back Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition, the value argument is direct. The Bib Gourmand is specifically designed to flag restaurants where quality exceeds what the price would lead you to expect. For Mediterranean cooking in Béziers at this tier, you are not going to find a more evidence-backed choice.

Group capacity is not confirmed in our current data. For parties of six or more, call the restaurant before booking to confirm whether the room can seat you together and whether a set menu applies for larger tables. In French bistro-level restaurants at this price point, large-group flexibility varies significantly by room layout.
No specific dietary restriction information is available in our current data. Given the Mediterranean cuisine format, vegetable-forward dishes are a reasonable expectation, but do not assume allergy protocols or vegan menus without checking directly. Contact the restaurant before your visit if restrictions are a deciding factor.
Yes, and it is one of the stronger arguments for a celebration dinner in Béziers at the €€ level. Two consecutive Bib Gourmand awards give you confidence in the kitchen before you walk in. The price point means the bill will not define the evening the way a €€€€ dinner might. For a birthday, anniversary, or date night where you want a credible kitchen without a formal tasting-menu format, Pica Pica fits. If the occasion calls for more ceremony, step up to Calice or L'Alter-Native.
There is no confirmed tasting menu format in our current data for Pica Pica. The Bib Gourmand profile is typically associated with a focused à la carte or set-price menu format rather than a multi-course progression. If a tasting-menu experience is specifically what you are after, L'Alter-Native at €€€€ is the more likely format in Béziers. Confirm the current menu structure with Pica Pica directly before booking around that expectation.
Bar or counter seating is not confirmed in the current data. Pica Pica is listed as a Mediterranean restaurant in a central Béziers location, but the room layout is not documented. If bar seating for a casual solo dinner or a late drop-in is your plan, contact the venue to confirm before heading over, particularly later in the evening.

Side-by-side comparison to help you decide where to book.
L'Ambassade is the benchmark for a formal occasion in Béziers and sits at a higher price point than Pica Pica's €€. La Maison de Petit Pierre is worth considering if you want a more traditional French register. Calice and La Table de Jean are closer in format and price, making them the most direct comparisons if Pica Pica is fully booked. L'Alter-Native is the go-to if you want a lighter, more casual meal.
Yes. At €€ pricing with a Mediterranean focus and a neighbourhood restaurant format, Pica Pica is a reasonable solo choice without a heavy financial commitment. The Bib Gourmand recognition means the cooking justifies a table for one. Confirm seating availability directly, as counter or bar seating is not confirmed in current data.
Yes, at €€ it is. Two consecutive Michelin Bib Gourmand awards (2024 and 2025) are a direct signal that inspectors rate the cooking-to-price ratio. Bib Gourmand is specifically awarded for good cooking at a moderate price, so the value case here is inspector-backed, not just marketing.
Group capacity details are not in current data, so check the venue's official channels before booking a party of six or more. Given the neighbourhood restaurant format on Boulevard Jean Jaurès and the Bib Gourmand profile, it is not likely set up for large private groups. For larger parties with a private dining option, L'Ambassade is a more reliable choice in Béziers.
No dietary accommodation details are published in current data. Raise this directly when booking, as Mediterranean menus often include flexible vegetable-forward dishes, but specific allergen or dietary protocols at Pica Pica are unconfirmed. Chef Nadia Agsen leads the kitchen, so a call ahead to discuss requirements is the practical approach.
Yes, this is one of the stronger cases for booking it. Back-to-back Bib Gourmand awards in 2024 and 2025 mean the quality has been independently verified across multiple visits, which matters when you are planning around a specific date. At €€ it is accessible for a celebration without the financial pressure of a full Michelin-starred restaurant, making it a practical special occasion booking in Béziers.
Specific menu formats, including whether a tasting menu is offered, are not confirmed in current data. The Bib Gourmand framework generally rewards restaurants with focused, well-priced menus rather than elaborate multi-course formats, so a set menu of some kind is plausible. Confirm the current menu structure directly before booking around a tasting format.
