We arrived on a Sunday, after the restaurant had closed, having called at the last minute to see if they could still accommodate us… And there he was, offering us, just for us, a shredded duck salad with roasted potatoes. And as if that weren't enough… a pan-fried porcini mushroom dish prepared just for us. Absolutely wonderful! But beyond the food, it was a truly special encounter: a man from the Auvergne region with character, generous and authentic, just like his cuisine. There are days like that when you walk through a door almost by chance… and have an extraordinary encounter. ❤️

Top-notch staff, excellent food. The atmosphere and setting are absolutely fantastic!

Excellent restaurant and a very warm welcome. Delicious local dishes. I highly recommend it.

The staff were lovely and the food was delicious! Thank you all!

Very good and very tasty, nothing to say 😇

The waiter was very cold. The waitress was friendly. The cook came to the terrace and asked the waiter why he had accepted two people. We had barely started our aperitif when our main course arrived. The dishes were good.

Don't go there for dinner; only half the menu is available. The waitress is friendly and smiling, unlike the owners, who are unpleasant. The outdoor terrace at the back is full, and there are only three tables inside, with slow service. An expensive bill for two beers, one andouillette sausage, and one Cantal sausage: €57.

Let's start with the positives: we enjoyed ourselves, the food was good quality, however, there were major shortcomings in the service: - Extremely slow service - The servers seemed lost and unhelpful. - I asked for the appetizer menu, and the server replied, "The menu is in your head, we don't have one here." - We had to ask twice for our drinks. - Frozen products weren't labeled, and when I asked if they were fresh or frozen, I was told they were out of season, which is true, but they should specify that they were frozen. - When I pointed out that the dessert on the chalkboard hadn't been changed, I was told they hadn't had time. - When we went to choose our main courses, we were told that half the menu was unavailable. - The menu listed homemade burgers and fries, but at 7:30 pm, they were out of fries. - We had to shout to get the attention of the other customers, only to be ignored by the waiter. To top it all off, no apology. It's a shame, the food is good, but I won't be going back. There were four of us, and at €35 per person, I think we deserved service that met our expectations.

The food was excellent. When you arrive for diner not everything is available what’s on the menu. Yet what lacks in choice is made up in quality of the food. Especially the stuff from the brasado.
