Auberge de la Cabane sur Saint-Alyre-Es-Montagne

There were five of us on Monday, August 24th. The food was well-prepared and therefore very good. Our waitress was pleasant, smiling, and attentive. The atmosphere was good. In short, another great review for this establishment, which it richly deserves.

A rare and unforgettable moment: Auvergne beer with chestnut and gentian, hearty homemade regional cuisine (baked Saint-Nectaire cheese, sautéed potatoes, cured ham, sausage, salad: a generous and delicious portion), a good red wine from the Languedoc region by the glass, blueberry-raspberry tart, Velay verbena liqueur as a digestif... all served by a dynamic and smiling all-female team in a convivial dining room! The inn is currently brilliantly run by a young woman representing the third generation. Bravo and thank you! Just remember to book well in advance, as the place is very well-known and deservedly so. Next door, there's also a small shop offering homemade, local products (cured ham sliced ​​or in pieces, cheeses, sausages, pâtés in jars) as well as various handcrafted items (solid sheep's milk soaps and shampoos; wooden vases). In short, a place and people of exceptional quality...

Excellent welcome and very kind staff.

According to a reliable biker, this is a place where the frog legs are very good. I'll have to come back to try the food. But the service for a ☕️ was top-notch.

Excellent restaurant. Very good food. The waitresses were very pleasant and always smiling, and the atmosphere was great.

It's worth the trip! Remember to loosen your belt at the beginning of your meal. It's all-you-can-eat, but you're not obligated to have seconds. Excellent local produce, expertly prepared. Must-try frog legs, truffade (a potato and cheese dish), country ham, cheese platter, and homemade desserts: the blueberry tart...

Excellent restaurant. Reservations are necessary.

There were about twenty of us, and we had a lovely time. The food was plentiful. The frog legs were excellent. The staff was very energetic and friendly. It's a pleasure to see people who work with such enthusiasm and good humor.

On a cycling trip, I called the day before to book a lunch break. The restaurant was full, but the owner found us a small table near the counter. After a 30km climb, what a pleasant surprise! A restaurant like in the old days. Tradespeople, construction workers, retirees out for a stroll… a lovely atmosphere. Simple but authentic cuisine (coq au vin, truffade, and a homemade blueberry/raspberry tart) – not exactly light fare, but that kind of thing didn't exist in restaurants back then. A taste of genuine Auvergne after visiting the must-see spots in this beautiful region. Thank you to the Auberge de la Cabane.

Fantastic local French cuisine. Thank you for all the great meals :)
