Empanadas Club

About

Nestled just behind Montpellier’s Prefecture, Empanadas Club has become the city’s quintessential Argentine cantina. From its vibrant, color‑filled dining room to the aromas of fresh empanadas drifting through the air, the restaurant transports diners straight to the streets of Buenos Aires. Founded in 2014 by Adrien Sanchez Valero—who spent several years in Buenos Aires before bringing a taste of Argentine hospitality to France—the restaurant quickly earned a reputation as a convivial lunch spot and lively evening venue. The founders’ love for Argentine culture shines through in every detail, from the décor to the menu. The menu showcases classic empanadas, ranging from traditional beef and chicken to specialty fillings such as four‑cheese, spicy beef, ham & cheese, and a monthly “Surprise of the Month” that changes with the seasons. Complementary offerings include a selection of Argentine wines, Quilmes beer, homemade cocktails, desserts like Alfajores, and vegan or vegetarian options for those with dietary preferences. Open from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. and again from 7 p.m. until midnight (or 1 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays), the restaurant caters to families, couples, and solo travelers alike. Reservations can be made online or by phone, and the friendly staff ensures that every visit feels like a personal invitation to experience the best of Argentine cuisine in the heart of Montpellier.
