Le Petit Mâchon sur Montbrison

Incredible experience at this restaurant!!! I highly recommend it!!! Very intimate, top-notch service, and absolutely excellent dishes—high quality and prepared with care! Everything is homemade; you can see it and taste it! The best flavors I've ever had!!

We went for dinner as a group of four on a Monday evening and frankly, it was remarkable. The gratin was excellent. The appetizers were generously portioned! I highly recommend it.

Great atmosphere and the food was excellent...small menu with homemade products...I recommend it

The dishes are delicious and homemade. I loved the ravioli with Munster cheese.

This is exactly the kind of small restaurant that would easily become her favorite canteen: well-prepared products presented without frills, with very attentive service: all good 💪👏👏👏

Friendly welcome and smiling waitress. Attentive and quick service. The portions are generous and the flavors are spot on. We had a very good lunch. Good value for money. I recommend it.

Okay, but still disappointed… Admittedly, the menu isn't expensive and the dishes seem homemade, but the portions are really very small. There were seven of us, and we all felt the same thing. For starters, a goat cheese and honey pastilla: a single small piece wrapped in filo pastry, accompanied by a huge amount of salad… It wasn't a great start. For the main course, "aiguillettes" (sliced ​​aiguillettes) which turned out to be a very small piece of beef, served with a lot of chewiness. The side dish was gratin dauphinois, but only two small plates to share between seven people. As a result, we were still hungry. We asked for an extra plate of gratin, and the response was: "I can, but you'll have to wait 10-15 minutes. You'll have finished eating by then, and I'll charge you extra for it." The wait didn't bother us, even though the meat was already gone, but the way they said it was surprising. We clearly sensed a lack of enthusiasm… For dessert, the “Catalan creams” weren’t really Catalan at all: the taste and texture were very different from the traditional recipe. In the end, it came to €270 for seven people. I find that expensive for what we actually had on our plates. We all had to eat again once we got home, even though we’re not big eaters or particularly picky. It was really pushing it. It’s a shame, because you could still tell it was homemade and there was some good flavor, especially in the gratin. But overall, the experience was disappointing.

The best value for money! Delicious meat and potatoes just the way we like them! It feels like home!

Excellent restaurant! Very good value for money! We booked a table for five, including a chef and two butchers by trade. No disappointment whatsoever. Warm welcome, regional cuisine just the way we like it! A great selection of wines to discover! I highly recommend it and will gladly return!

Excellent restaurant. Only fresh, high-quality ingredients. The staff is very friendly. Remember to book ahead, it's not very big and it's often busy. Highly recommended!
