La fee maison sur Clermont-Ferrand

01/08/2026: A truly wonderful discovery! The €40 menu offered us a delightful culinary experience, from the amuse-bouche to the petit fours! There was a great deal of creativity throughout our courses, such as the perfectly cooked red mullet paired with beetroot and strawberry, or the house classic for dessert: praline soufflé with peach sorbet, a perfect hot-and-cold combination. A feast for the eyes and the palate! The staff, despite being very busy, were incredibly attentive. A fine wine list, curated by a sommelier with excellent recommendations. In short, a very good restaurant, orchestrated by a young chef who shares his passion for fine cuisine, and with a promising future. I will definitely return to Le Chardonnay on my next trip to Clermont-Ferrand.

31/07/2026: When the gray skies cast a pall over the start of a visit, LE CHARDONNAY is a beacon of hope. The welcome and service are warm and friendly, and while the lunch menu is a set menu, it's excellent (green bean salad with tomato toast and fresh anchovies, veal onglet with potato cake, and a superb lemon-verbena mille-feuille). Bravo! Special mention goes to the decor, particularly the large, tastefully furnished curved bookcase. This restaurant is featured in the MICHELIN Green Guide, and deservedly so.
