Excellent food, made with quality ingredients. Perfect service with great friendliness. Impeccable value for money. Thank you.

We had a wonderful time at this restaurant, which offered authentic, high-quality cuisine at reasonable prices, impeccable service, and a charming setting. Perfect!

Pure joy, that's what this place was. Very cozy inside, especially when hiding from a summer storm. We tried the local delicacy, Andouillette, which only later I found out is a sausage filled with pork intestine - definitely has an acquired texture, but it tasted amazing with the mustard. The fowl with the orange sauce and potatoes were incredible. Lovely service and all around amazing experience

Very warm welcome. Excellent food.

Every time we're in Le Puy-en-Velay, we eat at L’Écu d’Or, which is definitely one of our two favorite restaurants in town. We went back at the end of June, and it was another success. There were a few changes to the menu, including the removal of some desserts (like the Bavarian cream) and a slight price increase. As for the food, we ordered a set menu. The starter, an Auvergne-style spring roll, was a real surprise: a combination of apples, cheese, and a local touch, quite unexpected but very successful despite my initial skepticism about the sweet and savory combination. The main course (curry skewer) was a bit small and slightly dry at first, but the side dishes more than made up for it. The chuck roast remains a sure thing: still as incredible, as good as we remembered. Regarding the cheese, we were a little disappointed not to find the Velay cheese, but the Saint-Nectaire was a delightful discovery. Special mention goes to the dessert and the rum piña colada cocktail: even for those who aren't alcohol lovers, it was a real success, with a biscuit and coconut base that works perfectly. The service is, as always, impeccable: quick, efficient, and with a team that manages the small dining room very well. The atmosphere is friendly, sometimes a little noisy when a group is very enthusiastic at the back, but that's also part of the charm of the place. The restaurant also has some outdoor seating, which is pleasant in season, but it's highly recommended to book in advance as it's very popular. In short: a sure bet in Le Puy-en-Velay. The cuisine is consistently excellent, the service top-notch, and the atmosphere lively. We'll definitely be back... again and again.
