Found this little place on my recent passages through Ussel. I hadn't found any Asian food for at…read moreleast 70 km in all directions, so I though it is worth a mention. I've been here twice, both times on a Monday evening. A few tables of people each time, but restaurant very quiet, clean & tidy. Menu is pan-Asian, mostly Chinese dishes, some Vietnamese and Thai selections. I saw a neighboring table eating Vietnamese fresh spring rolls. The owner, a nice older gent, is Cambodian. I'm pretty sure he'll make you anything you ask if he has the ingredients in the kitchen! Soupe pekinoise (hot & sour soup) was very nice. Calamari in spicy sauce was rather good, but showed more restraint (in flavor and portion size) than you might expect from a US-Chinese restaurant. Dim sum I ordered were uninspired, but hey, consider the deep-France location. Closed Tuesdays.

Une bonne adresse pour découvrir ou faire découvrir à moindre frais l'exotisme d'une cuisine qui a su s'européaniser pour satisfaire les papilles les plus frileuses.

Yet another (name your Asian country) restaurant which offers a pan-Asian selection of appetizers…read moreand main courses. Riviere des Parfums bills itself as "Vietnamese," but in fact it has some Chinese selections (like dim sum, for example). This is not (repeat: not) a formica table, bright light Vietnamese "dinette" you'd find anywhere in So California (for example), but instead a proper restaurant. It bustled on a recent Friday evening, packed with people - groups and some couples on dates. You WILL need a reservation on weekends. We only got in at 21h30, and that was with a reservation! Food was quite good, and I was delighted by the quality-to-price ratio. Nice to find good Asian cuisine, served nicely and thoughtfully, in a city/region sorely lacking in ethnic food. Chatted with the young, very pleasant owner for a bit, his family emigrated from Vietnam years ago.
