I had the terrine de foie gras. Always a favourite. It was a good portion with a fig jam. It was the best part of the meal. My main was pizza, Reine. The toppings were good but the crust was chewy. Good service and very polite. An enjoyable meal but not memorable. Probably a 3.5

Brasserie- Restaurant located right next to Faison Dore. You would think by walking by that for…read moretheir terrace - patio that Le Lion and Faison Dore are one place as they butt up against one another. Faison Dore has the red awning and Li Lion is the green awning distinguishing the two places. On my time here in Clermont I've eaten here three times. The pizza really is fantastic. On my first visit I had one of the pizzas (can't remember the name) with cured ham and olives. Cheese was generous serving and the pizza was overall awesome! Serving size is quite huge and delicious. Also, if you don't finish it they will wrap it up for you to go. Secondly the salads are equally delicious. They are big servings, fresh veggies and very filling yet you have the feel that you consumed something healthier. Both visits I selected the Cobb salad as it came with a generous serving of blue d'auvergne chicken, lardons and loads of veggies. The inside of the restaurant has that sort of grotto feel to it. Yet it's warm and cosy. The outside terrace- patio is great on nicer days yet beware as this is where many smokers will go and park themselves. Overall if you are not bothered by the smokers it's a great experience! Food is a notch above Faison Dore next door.

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.
