Lovely small restaurant and one of my faves in Clermont. Typical local Auvergnate food. I ate here…read moretwice during my stay in Clermont and really truly enjoyed both meals. They were amazing exquisite and food was prepared perfectly. Meal number 1 I was recommended by a dining colleague that to try the terrine. They bring you the whole loaf out with bread and you can sample and eat as much as you so desire. Also served with the terrine are small pickled gherkins pickles and olives. Awesome appetizer. Then I decided to have the Mediterranean seafood salad. Super filling and loaded with Seafood. It was decadent and downright amazing. Meal number 2 Indecided to go with the terrine again and then a steak with blue cheese sauce. They asked how I liked it cooked and my reply was the chefs recommendation. Man.....This was the best steak i had been served while in Clermont (I believe I ate it 3-4 times in a month). Huge serving, juicy and delicious. See folks some guys can eat steak every meal. Im more of a seafood guy so for me to say the steak was amazing really it was superb. The blue cheese sauce on the side was a great add touch. On both visits the restaurant was quite busy and the people working the tables were running everywhere. They looked a bit exhausted and service was a bit slow but this is typically how French restaurants run. See dinner is not a fast meal. It usually takes 2-3 hours. I'm more one who prefers a faster meal. These however are my NA habits. Overall a superb restaurant. Come check it out and hopefully you are not dissapointed.

Wow, what a find.

Dessert was absolutely divine - best dessert after "hunting Michelin stars" in Paris and in the valley for 10 days. The best part was the effort put forth by chef's wife who helped us navigate the dishes in English - there is an English menu but chef's specials change often - which added to the charm.
