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.

Great place to dine close to the city center. Very diverse menu with a very good steak. Last time I…read morevisited, I ordered the special of the day Salmon dish. It was cooked perfectly, not overdone like many restaurants.

Great place if you want some authentic food from the region such as Truffade (cheese mashed potato…read moretype of dish) or other specialties from Auvergne. I did take out but the place inside is cute and staff is friendly. Super cheap and delicious. If you order the Truffade make sure you ask for a side salad which is not included and will go perfectly with the dish. They also have daily desserts. I got some kind of chia pudding... super fresh and tasty. A must go and check out! Enjoy!
