La Chaumiere sur Volvic

30/07/2026: A must-visit in the region for workers, truckers, and tourists alike. Simple, satisfying home-style cooking. Excellent value for money. Fast service. However, it can be a bit noisy with the regulars who feel right at home and share their local stories. Parking is also difficult on the side of a very busy road.

19/06/2026: I made a reservation the day before for two people at 12:15 PM. We arrived at 12:10 PM and were seated. There was a 45-minute wait because priority was given to the many workers (tradespeople, laborers). That's understandable; as a retiree, I can wait. But then, when it came time to order, we were told that this was no longer available, that only that remained from the daily menu, which originally offered several choices. Unsatisfied, we asked to order from the regular menu. We were then told that the chef didn't want to prepare anything extra. In conclusion: It's a canteen where the first arrivals get a "good" meal, and those who arrive later finish the leftovers. It's not an inn, it's a cafeteria.
