Le Petit Mâchon sur Montbrison

We only had a few hours to explore downtown Saint-Claude, and we were really craving a Jura fondue. Unfortunately, many restaurants were closed, and it was already almost 2:00 PM. On the phone, a warm voice told us: "Don't worry, I'll be waiting for you." When we arrived at Le Petit Machon, a very charming, smiling, and welcoming woman served us fresh water and put us at ease about arriving so late to enjoy a specialty that requires time to appreciate. The fondue was served relatively quickly. It was tempting and appetizing... The charcuterie was plentiful and beautifully presented. It was an absolute delight. Definitely worth trying. Above all, it's excellent value for money. Furthermore, the owner, always available and friendly, gave us a summary of the most important sights to see and admire in Saint-Claude in such a short time. This was truly very helpful. It wasn't just a simple lunch; it was an encounter, a discovery, a wonderful memory... We'll definitely go back if we return to Saint Claude.

Everything was perfect, excellent homemade food, plenty of it, and exceptional value for money. We will gladly return.

Perfect from start to finish. It's absolutely delicious. Top-notch.

The food was a bit greasy, and the price was quite high.

A fantastic find! The food is entirely homemade, and it shows: flavorful, generous dishes prepared with high-quality ingredients. The welcome is truly delightful; you're greeted with a smile and immediately feel at ease. A great place to eat in Montbrison that we wholeheartedly recommend. We'll definitely be back!

A nice little unpretentious establishment offering simple but good, homemade and well-served cuisine in a timeless setting.

Excellent restaurant in the centre of the town, with a fixed menu that doesn't cost much, with 24 euros you get a first course, second course and dessert

Enjoy a pleasant time alone or with company! The food is homemade. Some classic dishes are given a nice twist. The dining room is lovely and the service is friendly. Very cozy. Great moments shared.

Second visit to this restaurant and, as with the first, completely satisfied. Well done to the whole team! 👍

A charming little restaurant. Traditional, simple but excellent cuisine. A very warm welcome. We had a lovely time.
