Le chamarlenc sur Le Puy-En-Velay

Le Chamarlenc is a true local treasure: the only Michelin-starred restaurant in Le Puy-en-Velay, and it's entirely deserved.

Here, you can savor a multi-course surprise menu, a superb seasonal journey "between the Mediterranean and the Velay region." The dishes play with perfect balance of flavors and textures. A particular highlight was the perfectly cooked meagre fillet, the delicate sweet and savory cheese, and the exquisite dessert that beautifully concludes the meal. The service is attentive and impeccable from start to finish. Special mention goes to the tableware, some pieces of which are signed by a local artisan—a detail that further enhances the experience.

A delightful moment... original, creative and surprising cuisine... bravo chef... top-notch front-of-house and kitchen staff. A truly pleasant atmosphere.

Thank you again to the whole team for their warm welcome. The meal was perfect; we've been to Chamarlenc several times and always enjoyed it immensely. We were lucky enough to be there for the first tasting of the new menu this Sunday—another revelation! New flavor combinations, new ideas. In short, an exceptional experience. Thank you again.

An exquisite Christmas dinner where the chef masterfully guided us through a series of courses, showcasing a quest for subtle and captivating flavors, perfectly executed for an explosion of taste. The added bonus: expertly selected wines for each course. A young but experienced service staff presented the dishes and wines with expertise, and the hostess was very attentive. An excellent festive evening. Congratulations.

A huge thank you to the entire team for this truly special experience. From the warm welcome to the exquisite dishes, everything was perfect. You can feel the genuine care and sincere passion in the service. A gourmet restaurant where you feel wonderfully at ease. We will return with immense pleasure! Christelle and Lionel

A feast for the senses in a refined atmosphere. Delightful surprises, amazing flavors. We'll have to come back!

The 6-course menu option, a little more quantity per course, would be a plus, we were a table of 4 "at the back" a little more light would be a plus, the presentations of the dishes by the servers in a louder voice would avoid having to strain to hear, apart from these details we were delighted and had a good time, a beautiful place for gastronomy.

A truly wonderful experience for the taste buds and the eyes.

Excellent cuisine. A discovery of flavors.

We had a wonderful time enjoying the six-course menu. The dishes were beautifully paired and seasoned. We highly recommend it.
