Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française en Puy-De-Dome

06/07/2025: Top-notch! We were very well received, and the food is excellent, using quality ingredients. The service is impeccable! The setting is pleasant. A great place to remember.

05/07/2025: A very warm welcome! Courtesy and quality. Simple and excellent cuisine. Many thanks to the team who joyfully sang "Happy Birthday" to my father-in-law, which was followed by all the guests. A beautiful place with wonderful people. In Thiers, this is a place not to be missed.

29/11/2025: I highly recommend it :-) The owner is exceptionally kind and genuine, just like his restaurant. A herbal tea made with verbena and mint from the garden is a truly delightful experience! Thank you for this wonderful moment.

23/11/2025: Fantastic restaurant, excellent wine, generous portions made with quality ingredients, and the French toast was simply incredible. All this in a warm atmosphere with a smile from the owner! Thank you for a wonderful experience.

06/01/2026: A quiet restaurant tucked away in an alley in the heart of Clermont. A small restaurant with two alcove dining rooms, very cozy and with professional service. We first discovered it at the end of October with a starter of calf's head with gribiche sauce, followed by a local dish: truffade. We returned at the end of December for an excellent onion soup to warm us up, and then a melted Saint-Nectaire cheese... absolutely divine. All the dishes are excellent and generous... no room left for dessert 😉. And as they say, good things come in threes... we'll be back on our next trip to Clermont. A bonus: the restaurant accepts holiday vouchers... there's no cell service inside, just step outside to get the codes, validate them, and you're all set.

17/12/2025: Excellent, everything homemade, right down to the after-dinner drink.

15/10/2025: From the aperitif to the coffee, everything was delicious. Beautifully presented, served with class and elegance. Discovering new flavors from the chef's homeland. Thank you for this enjoyable experience.

26/09/2025: We came for my mother's 80th birthday. I had organized everything, the accommodation, the walks... she had never visited Auvergne. We come from Switzerland. She loved it... but especially the meal at your place... It was a mixture of refinement, creativity and tenderness. The love of taste... and the taste of others. I will never forget the strawberry tagada reinterpreted by you and your team. Everything was bold, delicious, especially the 1000 tomatoes on a plate, but there was the particularly moving wink. Thank you! I hope you will read this message and your team too. I know you will close. But something else will be born and I reserve my table...

11/01/2026: We thoroughly enjoyed our meal! The menu was hearty, generous, and bursting with flavor. The decor is charming and traditional, nestled at the foot of the Puy de Dôme.

29/11/2025: A very warm welcome! Reservations are recommended if you can get the little table by the fireplace 🤩 I highly recommend the homemade truffade! But come hungry or after a good hike, as it's very generous and made with quality ingredients! A wonderful time! Thank you 😉

23/10/2025: Perfect welcome. Next to Lake Servière Very easy parking.

20/10/2025: A very warm welcome, a warm and pleasant cottage with a magnificent view. A perfect stopover along the hiking trails. We enjoyed a quality meal made with local products. Thank you for Catherine's kindness. Thank you for Michel's great advice. Looking forward to it. Sylvain

12/12/2025: Friendly welcome and service! The beef was a generous and high-quality cut...homemade fries, perfect!! No bread, salt, or pepper on the table. The speculoos tiramisu was sickeningly sweet and way too sugary!!! Good value for money! I'll be back.

06/12/2025: Update: I've tasted the food! The truffle was succulent, the meat was delicious, and the desserts were simple yet satisfying!! I haven't tried the food yet (but I will soon!), but I can tell you about the service, which was very efficient, and especially about the owner, who is lovely and passionate! You can tell he's put his heart and soul into taking over this legendary Clermont establishment, and he's succeeded! The decor is fantastic, beautiful, original (the props! 👏), and well thought out. There are free games (darts and board games). They organize themed evenings. They're open Tuesday through Saturday for lunch and, for now, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings. And do we even need to mention the stunning view of the Puy-de-Dôme? 🤩 A place to (re)discover!!

09/12/2025: I haven't found a place of such high quality in many years... Local produce, superbly prepared... I highly recommend this place!

08/12/2025: An exceptional culinary experience. Attentive and caring staff, special mention to the waitress who passionately explained the menu. Well done to the entire team at Les Chênes.

09/12/2025: I love it! Quality, tradition, generosity. Efficient and particularly friendly staff, in short, an address to remember. One very small drawback, but it's not their fault: parking is a nightmare.

07/12/2025: The meat was of excellent quality, and the fries cooked in beef fat were equally delicious. A bit pricey, but that's the price of quality, so it's entirely justified. I'm already looking forward to my next meal at this establishment.

25/01/2026: A very warm welcome, excellent waitresses who always had a kind word, and a delicious, generous, and high-quality Auvergne meal. A must-try.

22/01/2026: The restaurant offers quality products, however the tables are very close together, which reduces privacy…

24/01/2026: These are the best burgers I've ever tasted!!! The service is impeccable too. If you're ever in Clermont, you absolutely must try them; it's well worth the trip!!

13/01/2026: A great restaurant. Very good, varied homemade burgers made with quality ingredients. Excellent service 👍

14/09/2024: On mange très bien Un coup de chapeau a une serveuse Une ravissante blonde avec des lunette se lle s e de reconnaitra beaucoup de classe et de professionnalisme elle serait a l aise dans un etoiler voir un palasse bravo

08/09/2024: Quel dommage que je sois obligé de manger à côté d'un caniche. Et oui un chien assis sur une banquette du restaurant. J'ai rien contre les animaux en général mais la....franchement l'odeur m'a gêné. A suivre...

24/01/2026: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An exceptional place – a truly delightful experience! We dined at the Auberge du Pont-du-Château and, as always, it was simply perfect. There were five of us at the table, and everyone agreed: flawless from start to finish. A huge congratulations to Rodolphe, the chef, for his remarkable cuisine: each dish is a true work of art, with magnificent presentation, elegant tableware, meticulous attention to detail… and above all, an explosion of flavors with every bite. You can taste the precision, mastery, and generosity of the cuisine, with surprising yet always perfectly balanced combinations. Thank you also to Christelle and the entire team for the warm welcome and service: professional, friendly, and attentive, without being overbearing, but with just the right touch to make you feel truly at ease. And to top it all off, we had the chance to visit the wine cellar: an absolutely incredible, impressive place that shows just how meticulously everything has been thought out. Honestly, if you're ever in the area, stop by without hesitation. It's the kind of place you remember... and return to. 👏 Bravo and thank you for this wonderful experience!

18/01/2026: The beginning of our meal at the Auberge du Pont in Pont-du-Château promised a pleasant experience. The welcome was adequate and the presentation of the dishes elegant, giving a rather positive first impression. However, as the meal progressed, our enthusiasm gradually waned. Upon tasting, the dishes proved rather heavy, lacking finesse and balance. The flavors, lacking nuance, failed to evoke the emotion expected at a Michelin-starred restaurant, and we found it difficult to finish our plates. The dishes were presented with only brief explanations, without any real detail or context. This created an impression of distance and a lack of connection, whereas one generally expects more education and storytelling at this level of cuisine. The notable exception was the sommelier, who was more engaged and took the time to go into detail. But the wine pairings were perplexing. In France, offering Italian wines isn't a problem in itself—provided there's a coherence and that it's explained to us. Here, the whole experience seems more driven by a profit motive than a genuine gastronomic endeavor. The end of the meal, right up to the coffee and petits fours, follows the same downward spiral, lacking any real excitement or controlled finale. The whole thing feels more like an unfinished experience than a true gastronomic moment. Considering this level of service, the price remains high and difficult to justify. One is then led to wonder how a Michelin star can be awarded: a distinction that, as it stands, raises more questions than it convinces.

02/02/2026: Wonderful experience at Bessoi! The staff are very friendly and the food is delicious, a real gem!

31/01/2026: Every time we pass through Besse, we stop at Bessoi. And this time, disappointment. My partner chose poor-quality meat; half of it remained on his plate. I had a bland, lukewarm crepe. As for the service, we're still waiting to be cleared after waiting for the novice waiter (who was managing the entire dining room alone) to come back and perhaps offer us dessert? It's a radical and disappointing change.

31/01/2026: Everything was remarkable from start to finish, from the petit fours and amuse-bouches to the main courses and dessert. Everything was perfect! It had been years since I'd been back. It was a true rediscovery. Bravo!

28/01/2026: Beautiful setting, exquisite cuisine. Everything was delicious. We look forward to seeing you again.
