Ferme du Gelat sur Besse-Et-Saint-Anastaise

Oh, we felt so comfortable in this restaurant! The owner/waitress is very friendly. We had a delicious meal, and the prices are quite reasonable considering the quality of the food! We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the table.

A superb discovery! Special mention for the warm welcome; she took excellent care of us. The regional cuisine was delicious and generous. The Bretons who spoke about cutlery

Back on Thursday, February 5th, with friends from the Charente region, I was determined to show them this charming restaurant nestled between the medieval village of Besse and Lake Pavin, practically at the foot of the Superbesse ski slopes. Of course, I introduced them to the must-try dish, truffade. It's absolutely delicious here, but there are other tasty dishes to suit all tastes. I love this place. I love the warmth of the dining room, typical of old Auvergne farmhouses. I love the quality and friendliness of the service provided by the farm owner and her husband in the kitchen. Honestly, before or after your trip around Lake Pavin, make a detour to La Ferme du Gelat for a truly unique experience with friends and/or family. You'll leave thinking, "I'll be back as soon as possible." Sometimes, you just have to seize the moment. A huge thank you to the owners for their warm welcome and delicious food! Well done to them! This is the sixth time I've taken friends to eat at La Ferme du Gelat, ideally located between the medieval village of Besse, Lake Pavin, and the ski slopes of Suoer Besse. I'm taking the time this time to leave a review because we've always had such a wonderful meal there. The truffade is excellent, as are other Auvergne specialties. We love the warm atmosphere of this place; the service is impeccable and attentive, with smiles all around. It feels like a family setting, and it's so nice to get together with friends around a good meal. These are the little moments of sharing that we need to appreciate in a world that feels so fragmented. We'll definitely be back because stopping at La Ferme du Gelat after visiting Besse and a short hike to Lake Pavin is an absolute delight. There are simple things that we need to take the time to savor.

A superb place that we highly recommend! The food is excellent and the service is always very pleasant. Well done!

Superb, very welcoming restaurant; we had a wonderful time. We'll definitely be back.

Great setting, under the pavilion, very rustic; you pass through the old fireplace between the bar and the restaurant! We ate very well; I had the potée, a real treat! I highly recommend this restaurant.

A warm welcome and excellent traditional dishes that make you want to become an Auvergnat!

A lovely restaurant with rustic charm and excellent food. We shared the truffade, which was delicious and generously portioned. The owner (I assume) is a very kind and friendly person. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We were very well received...exactly what we needed for lunch: a salad and a dessert.

A great place to go if you're passing through Besse. Varied and very well-prepared dishes.
