The 18 best foods to try in Clermont-Ferrand

This was such a great experience. The food was so tasty and fresh ! The staff is really friendly, the only bad thing is that the inside of the restaurant is really small and crowded, we were sitting right next to an insufferable couple but that wasn't enough to make our time there bad 😊

Nice staff, they know their food, they know service, they are humble and amiable. Great place, tasteful decor, finger licking good food! Different menu every day, fancy and seasonal ingredients, nice presentation, good seasoning! Must try if you go to Clermont!

Delicious french cuisine, highly recommend!

Very tasty dishes on platters abundantly filled. Friendly and fast staff. The porc was incredibly soft. C u later 😋

Best fries in town, done in beef tallow. Delicious! Great cocktails and wine selection. Friendly service.

We had the menu (appetizer, main course, dessert). All the dishes have been so overly delicious, combining many flavours in one! You probably could pick any dish and it’s always good. As main course I could recommend the onglet de boeuf Thai style which was so tender and tasteful. The staff is very friendly and we had a perfect dinner.

Amazing food, couldn’t say more about the taste and the design of every dish we were served. And really friendly staff!

Delicious food and top service. We came here for my girlfriend’s birthday. I’d recommend making a reservation to get a table as its very popular. We had the Veal tartare, sea bass, risotto and chocolate & pistachio fondant for dessert

A beautiful restaurant, with a nice outdoor space on an (almost) pedestrian street. Very special and creative menu, with elaborated dishes, beautifully presented. Each dish is very imaginative, with interesting spices/condiments. We loved the ceviche and the octopus starters, and the sea bass was outstanding. Congratulations!

Restaurant is close to city center, in a very good location. The atmosphere here is coasy, with a relaxing vibe. Personnel was friendly, making good recommendations from the menu. Even though there is not a large variety of plates, they are prepared at their best. We had a delicious octopus as starter and we would have taken the second one. The main dishes were well cooked, with an unique taste. Overall experience was pleasant. For sure we will come back on our next visit in Clermont-Ferrand.

Meat Loaf sang that 2 out of three ain't bad, if that's the case the chef at The Avenue must not have got the message as all three courses delivered where excellent. Service was excellent, atmosphere chilled. Bar drinks were delishous to the citrus cocktail is a triumph. From the UK here for one night and it was an inspired choice. Well done wifee

Litlle gem in this town. The food is more than good, the wined are fine. Location is in the city centre and easy to find. The insite of the restaurant is creating a relaxed atmosphere. The staff is friendly and knows the menu... Absolutely worth a reservation!

Great food and staff very helpful to explain in English the menu. Very passionate on the food and choices of wine.

Incredible meal with the most tentative staff. Definitely plan on visiting again!

Room and service are great. Restaurant is excellent.

We went there just for lunch at the restaurant. The meal was delightful, with attentive and polished service. The food was excellent—creative and expertly prepared.

(Translated by Google) We spent one night at this hotel as part of a Wonderbox offer, and it was simply exceptional. The owners are super friendly and attentive to all their guests. They take the time to chat, which is truly enjoyable. We had dinner there, which was divine from the appetizer to the dessert. The dishes featured local produce, enhanced by the expertise of the chef and his team. Everything is homemade, even the bread. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The breakfast served at the table by the chef and his wife was exquisite, also homemade, and plentiful. I highly recommend this hotel/restaurant. The rooms are perfect, with very comfortable bedding, quiet surroundings, and views of the park and river... We will gladly return to this establishment, which is a wonderful discovery. (Original) Nous avons passé une nuit dans cet hôtel à l'occasion d'une wonderbox, et c'était tout simplement exceptionnel. Les propriétaires sont super gentils, et aux petits soins pour tous leurs clients, prennent le temps de discuter et c'est très agréable. Nous y avons pris le dîner qui était divin de la mise en bouche jusqu'au dessert, des produits de la région qui sont sublimés par le savoir faire du chef et son équipe. Tout est fait maison, même les pains. Nous nous sommes régalés. Le petit déjeuner servi à table par le chef et sa femme était exquis, fait maison également, et copieux. Je vous conseille 1000 fois cet hôtel/restaurant, les chambres sont parfaites, literie très confortable, calme et vue sur le parc et la rivière... Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir dans cet établissement qui est une très belle découverte.

(Translated by Google) Hotel well located high above the river. Public parking, therefore unguarded below. It's best to unload your suitcases at the hotel entrance (a bit complicated to park) and not leave anything in the car. Friendly welcome. Excellent tasting dinner in the restaurant overlooking the river. All the dishes were very fine 😊 A little less impressed by the room, which is otherwise bright and cool in the middle of summer. - 2 Venetian blinds out of 4 are out of order, which doesn't allow for a full view of the river... - No hook in the bathroom for clothes, nor anywhere to put hand towels apart from the radiator. - Unreliable and weak Wi-Fi. - No drink rates for the minibar, so we don't know, for example, if bottled water is free... (Original) Hôtel bien placé en hauteur par rapport à la rivière Parking public , donc non surveillé en contrebas . Il est préférable de débarquer les valises à l’ entrée de l’ hôtel ( un peu compliqué à se garer ) et ne rien laisser dans la voiture Accueil sympathique Excellent dîner dégustation dans le restaurant avec vue sur la rivière Tous les plats étaient très fins 😊 Un peu moins convaincu par la chambre qui est par ailleurs lumineuse et fraîche en plein été - 2 stores vénitiens sur 4 HS , ce qui ne permet pas d’ avoir une vue complète sur la rivière… - Pas de patère dans la salle de bain pour les habits , ni d’ endroits où poser ses serviettes pour les mains en dehors du radiateur - Wifi pas fiable et faible - Pas de tarif boisson pour mini bar , donc on ne sait pas , par exemple si les bouteilles d’ eau sont offertes…

(Translated by Google) We had dinner and enjoyed the dishes prepared by the chef. It was a delight, with subtle flavors throughout the meal. I highly recommend this place, especially the gourmet menu.👍 (Original) Nous avons dîner et avons dégusté les mets préparés par le chef. Que du bonheur, les saveurs sont subtiles tout le long du repas. Je recommande cette adresse, particulièrement le menu gastronomique.👍

very nice place. we had foie gras as starter, followed by turbot and multi desert. food was good, as well as service and atmosphere. but price is too high in my opinion. we paid 150e for 2 with tip, with virgin coktail and no wine.

The front of house was nicely managed, very knowledgeable and precise. The food was all based on seasonal produce, as it should. Everything was cooked with the idea of simplicity in mind allowing for the fraichness of the food and its quality to speak for itself. Job very well done. I definitely recommend it.

Excellent food, a marvellous cheese selection, wonderful service. Everything was first class.

Excellent service. Great food. Absolutely delicious!

TOP !

Excellent

Ambience, food, service, quality, everything is very good. This is only the 2nd time I have had Vietnam food and this surprised me with the options and taste. This is not known to many which makes this less crowded.

Not big, cosy and nice Vietnamese restaurant. Delicious food, very nice, friendly and helpful staff. The rich menu is available only in French, but it's easy to understand. Prices are not high, great place to spend time with friends or family. Big sort of beverages as well, both Asian and French. Seem to be a popular place, so it's smart to book a table before.

It was decent, but we expected much more looking at opinions. Nevertheless happy they found place for us, because it seemed to booked totally.

Food was nice but they have too many tables and it feels more like a canteen. The service was awful. Waiters are not professionals at all. They speak very loud in the room and dress like they have just woken up. Nice food but too much of a canteen atmosphere. I would not go back.

Such a nice restaurant with a cute interior courtyard Nice staff and yummy food + vegan friendly 🌱

Very good taste, prompt service and not expensive! Love it here!

Really nice food, very tasty and affordable

You are never disappointed in a star restaurant. This one is themed around local herbs and products. The full menu is 11 dishes. At lunch you can pick 4, 8, 9 or 11. The menu will tell you which dishes are skipped with each lower bracket. It's a very small room, reservation is a must. We picked 8 dishes and it was a little too much food at the end. Prices are standard for this type of quality establishments.

(Translated by Google) A truly exceptional experience! Refined cuisine, original and perfectly balanced flavor combinations. The service is attentive without being overbearing. Each dish was a discovery. A place to recommend without hesitation. (Original) Un vrai moment d’exception ! Cuisine raffinée, associations de saveurs originales et parfaitement équilibrées. Le service est attentionné sans être envahissant. Chaque plat était une découverte. Une adresse à recommander les yeux fermés.

Spectacular cuisine from Quentin Brunet. He is such an impressive chef. I strongly recommend the eggs with Shiitake with the incredible truffle butter. Perfect service.

(Translated by Google) Very nice experience, impeccable cuisine, excellent service, by the chef himself in a warm but intimate atmosphere, thank you for this wonderful evening. (Original) Très belle expérience, cuisine impeccable , service au petit oignons , par le chef en personne dans un ambiance chaleureuse mais intimiste, merci pour cette belle soirée .

Great restaurant!!! We highly recommend very interesting and tasty experience 😋

(Translated by Google) A wonderful experience in this restaurant, which recently changed chefs. The service is impeccable, professional, and very friendly. The dishes are a true success: perfectly cooked, masterful textures, balanced flavors... a string of successes from start to finish. We particularly enjoyed the chef's visit to the dining room, a truly special moment. (Original) Un très beau moment dans ce restaurant qui a récemment changé de chef. Le service est impeccable, professionnel et très sympathique. Les plats sont une vraie réussite: cuissons parfaites, textures maîtrisées, saveurs équilibrées… un enchaînement de réussites du début à la fin. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié le passage du chef en salle, un moment privilégié.

(Translated by Google) This restaurant is a true gem. From the moment you step inside, the service is warm and attentive. Each dish is a work of art, combining finesse, creativity, and perfectly balanced flavors. The ingredients are impeccably fresh and elegantly presented. A must-visit for food lovers. (Original) Ce restaurant est une véritable pépite. Dès l’accueil, le service est chaleureux et attentionné. Chaque plat est une œuvre d’art, alliant finesse, créativité et saveurs parfaitement équilibrées. Les produits sont d’une fraîcheur irréprochable et mis en valeur avec élégance. Une adresse incontournable pour les amateurs de gastronomie.

I’ve eaten in special restaurants before, but very few are so special as to be core memories. I cannot explain just how sublime the lunch experience at JCL was - the most gracious service even with a child in our small party. The food indescribably good, the balance of textures and flavours a creation of absolute perfection. Who cares what the price is? In comparison to what we have paid in Paris, Chamonix, or Lyon, it’s under priced. If you’re in Clermont Ferrand don’t miss the opportunity. Please, take my advice!

Worth a Michelin star! Great food for eyes and soul. Great taste, great wine.

Excellent !!!

(Translated by Google) We had a wonderful evening where everything was PERFECT. The menu with sea bass, lobster, scallops, sweetbreads (and so on) was fantastic. I would like to point out that my wife, who does not eat anything from the sea, was spoiled (we had shared her tastes when booking): all the "substitution" dishes were wonderful. The service was fast and very pleasant. A big congratulations to the whole team, we will come back. (Original) Nous avons passé une superbe soirée où tout fût PARFAIT. Le menu avec du bar, du homard, des noix de saint Jacques, ris de veau (et j'en passe)était fantastique. Je tiens à préciser que ma femme ne mangeant rien venant de la mer à été gâtée(nous avions fait part de ses goûts lors de la réservation):tout les plats de "substitution" étaient merveilleux. Le service était rapide et très agréable. Un grand bravo à toute l'équipe,nous reviendrons.

(Translated by Google) Sublime! Very happy to have created our first Michelin-starred restaurant with them. Nothing to complain about, certainly the price is high but the quality is there as much for the food as for the service. We will return for worry-free enjoyment. I recommend! (Original) Sublime !

(Translated by Google) Always difficult to comment on a perfect experience, but it must be done to give thanks for the work. Attention to detail is omnipresent, both in the cuisine and in the service and ambiance. If you pass this review in winter, then you must come and test this seasonal menu. I think this will still be true for the next season, and I hope the one after that again! Thank you for this beautiful moment (Original) Toujours difficile de commenter une expérience parfaite, mais il faut pourtant le faire pour rendre grâce au travail. Le soin du détail est omniprésent, tant dans la cuisine que dans le service et l’ambiance. Si vous passez sur cet avis en hiver, alors vous devez venir tester cette carte de saison. Je pense que cela sera toujours vrai pour la prochaine saison, et j’espère celle d’après encore ! Merci pour ce beau moment

Perfect lunch! Merci.

Such amazing food and wines! Sad to hear it’s their last week

Excellent wine and excellent food. The quail with romesco sauce was really special, as were the horseradish beets. The meals are mostly small plates, which was great for trying many things. The setting is very cozy, just at the edge of a small square. We're sat along the terrace, which was a quiet ambiance. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. Could not recommend more highly.

Le Saint Eutrope in Clermont-Ferrand is more than just a restaurant; it's an unforgettable experience that warrants a dedicated trip, even if it means journeying on foot or by bike. Nestled in the charming streets of Clermont-Ferrand, this gem offers an extraordinary culinary adventure that should not be missed by anyone traveling through the region. The cuisine of Mike Hazlewood at Le Saint Eutrope is nothing short of exceptional. From the moment you step in, you're enveloped in a nostalgic ambiance where quality and craftmanships was still in play. One of the standout features of Le Saint Eutrope is its impressive selection of natural wines by Manon. Contrary to what some review sites might suggest, their collection is vast and thoughtfully curated, offering an extensive variety that caters to both connoisseurs and casual wine lovers alike. This dedication to quality and variety sets Le Saint Eutrope apart from many other bistros in the area. Whether you're savoring their expertly crafted dishes made from locally sourced and organic ingredients or exploring their exceptional wine list, Le Saint Eutrope promises a meal that is worth traveling for. Never ever pass through the latitude of Clermont-Ferrand in France without visiting this remarkable place—it truly is a culinary destination that elevates any journey.

After hearing so many rumors about how fantastic this place is I finally made it, and it really was worth the 350km. Such a warm welcome by the staff, delicious food of superb quality, and amazing matching natural wines. A culinary and social experience. Don't forget to reserve!

Great simple food, great moment. good service (but a bit long) Enjoyed all the vine.

Absolutely lovely. Excellent wines beautifully curated. Delicious small and large plates and main courses. Hidden gem next door to its bigger sister, Le Saint-Eutrope

Went for lunch and it was so fabulous we went back for dinner the next night. Incredibly well priced, fantastic wine and great service. Totally seasonal and inspiring yet comforting menu.

I was drinking some beers with my colleagues at there around 8pm. This is roadside store, you have to wait approx 15 mins for food but just 1 min for beer. Fromage and charcuterie are good. Beef is just fine.

(Translated by Google) A great place for wine lovers! The selection is varied and quality, and the tapas are really tasty. The setting is cozy, perfect for relaxing and enjoying. The service is super friendly, you can tell they love what they do. A great discovery! (Original) Un endroit au top pour les amateurs de vin !

This is a must visit place if you want to experience local produce

Very good indoor market

Amazing cheese collection!!!

Another great store

Good one

A two night stop on our way south, mainly to revisit the Puy de Dôme. Didn't realise it was a R&C hotel or that the chef holds 2 Michelin stars as I used Expedia for once. Both of those qualities speak for themselves so there's nothing I need to add, except the flavour combinations of the 8 course menu were the best I have encountered and the small team of staff were the most friendly and helpful, which says a lot given R&C's standards. The location functional rather than touristic but with the Puy de Dôme on your doorstep you don't need landscaped gardens.

The restaurant is fantastic and one of the most inventive and delicious ** restaurants we have eaten. We ordered the 7 course tasting and the emphasis on floral and delicious forest flavors (spruce ice cream!) Was wonderful. The breakfast was also incredible. The service was wonderful. The dining room is very beautiful. The rooms do not do the restaurant justice. They look nice. They aren't very expensive, but there are some issues. Our room had a window facing the road which made it rather noisy. It was also very hot. The floor was hot for some reason. Perhaps it was over the kitchen? The air conditioning was set to "efficiency" mode and turned itself to 23c at random times. We could not open the window because of the smoke from the kitchen. The rooms could very easily be made to match the quality of the restaurant by improving the ventilation, higher quality towels and bedding, and some kind of extra sound door to reduce road noise.

We had an extraordinary dining experience at Le Pré's two Michelin-star restaurant near Clermont-Ferrand. Choosing the tasting menu, we appreciated that the kitchen seamlessly accommodated the vegetarian member of our group with equally thoughtful and exceptional dishes. Every course was impeccably executed, showcasing perfect, subtle flavors enhanced notably by the fresh herbs picked directly from the chef's garden. This garden-to-table approach significantly elevated each dish, highlighting the chef's exceptional skill and creativity. The sommelier's recommendations for wine pairings were impeccable, thoughtfully complementing each dish and enhancing our culinary journey. Service throughout the meal was notably attentive and highly professional, yet it maintained a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere, perfectly balancing formality and warmth. Overall, our dining experience at Le Pré was flawless and memorable. We enthusiastically recommend it to anyone seeking an exceptional culinary adventure.

This Michelin two star restaurant turned out to be one of the most memorable dinner I've had. We tried the 145€ seven-course menu and it was really truly worth it. Excellent creative dishes with enchanting flavors beyond description. The fact that the table service comes with a unique blend of professionalism, kindness and humor did add to our enjoyment. Don't miss it

After my challenges of trying every Michelin Stars in Paris and 3 Stars in France, I’m not tackling the « best », meaning the most famous or well known, 2 Stars in France (Follow me for the reviews and updates). The happiness is in Your « pré » (le Bonheur est dans Votre pré). So what’s extraordinary here? The fact that it’s not more well known and the focus on true nobility. After visiting him, I went to many other stars before writing this. So sometimes, my last experiences were brought up, and I would mention this restaurant as a great surprise, and example, to other chefs. To my surprise, I realized that he was not as well known as I would thought. Which is a bit shocking because the guy is literally in Michelin town. I would assume that he would be a little bit more under scrutiny than others. But seems the contrary. Thinking that may be it was the Champagne I took there that biased my memory or something else, I’ve strongly recommended it to a friend, a foodie, who went with her husband. The feedback came back the same. Awesome. So the Michelin is right again, and what is it that they see and some may not? What they see I guess, is what they saw later in the majority of the 2022 and 2023 new two stars. Xavier Beaudiment was a the forefront but I guess he didn’t even realize it. Because he’s too busy doing his own thing. He’s own thing being showing the beautiful sophistication of the simple things. Here, it’s not about the nobility of the ingredients. It’s about the beauty of some fresh herbs, mushrooms or even just fresh eggs. No need for caviar and truffles when you can have a great meat or a beautiful pear. Their tastes are sophisticated enough, and you “just” have to play with textures, sauces and emulsions to illuminate them. The nobility is in the taste, in the connection with your roots. The happiness is in Your own garden (le bonheur est dans votre propre pré), seems to say the chef to you. The service is very two stars at Relais et Châteaux. The design is modern, a tad minimalist, but with a lot of natural elements. Interestingly the service is mirroring this. You’ll have the very formal multiple stars Michelin but some very warm notes underneath. Especially the sommelier (who was inspired by the best) that was great in storytelling the dishes. We stayed the night to fully enjoy the experience. I would recommend it. My only regret is that we had a one star lunch in another restaurant right before, and I couldn’t try to try the big menu. I guess i have to come back then… It’s a top tiers two stars. A two stars that you should try.

It's very difficult to put into words how incredible an experience it is to dine at this restaurant. We went for the full tasting menu, which was €99 and roughly 16 courses. The attention to detail in this cuisine is world-class, and they more than deserve their 2 Michelin Stars. It's impossible to do the food justice in a short review, but some highlights include the signature dish of slow cooked egg yolk with smoked potato foam and truffle, as well as a dessert of chocolate done 11 different ways! Every one of my tastebuds was treated like a king. The waiting staff are wonderful, attentive and pleasant. We felt truly pampered for the several hours we were there. The decor and setting are superb, with tasteful modern art adorning the walls and tables, beautiful sculptures placed throughout the restaurant. Wine menu is second to none, with all regions of France amply represented. Wines are also available by the glass from as low as €8. If you are thinking of dining here, do not hesitate to book a table. Of course it is an expensive evening when all is said and done, but in my view the price is beyond the point. The team at Le Pré deliver a once in a lifetime gastronomic experience, and I have no doubt that it is one of the finest restaurants in the world.

A must do if you want to experience the richness and variety of French cuisine. We had the full menu, took us around 4 h to finish! Everything was delicious. Excellent service. Great options of wine, the waiter helps you choose what goes best with each meal. The price is high, but the quality of the food is worth it (you have truffes, foie gras...). They also ask if you have allergies and adjust your meals accordingly. The decoration is modern and minimalistic, they have private lunch rooms. Staff is friendly. You need to reserve; we went at noon because for the evening, there was a two month waiting.

A “must” in Clermont-Ferrand. Everything was delicious.

Simply fabulous cheeses great, knowledgeable service

Awesome selection and really friendly owner

Brilliant, friendly place. Accomodated my girlfriend and I at the back of the shop for a platter of local cheeses, bread, fruit and wine . Delicious and good value too.

My favorite place when I visit clermont ferrand every year. Personal who know and advise professionally. They also have vacuum packaging and isothermal bags perfect to bring your cheese to your country. Totally recommended

Good fromagerie. Very professional and an incredible choice of cheeses. Don't miss it if you visit Clermont!

Fantastic place to pick up cheese. Lots of variety to choose from.

(Translated by Google) I strongly advise against the online offer from the Le Lautrec store. We offered a voucher of 70 euros and it took several months, having to travel, paying extra. A rigidity in the use of this gift voucher like I have never seen from a retailer. They walked us between 2 shops. To avoid (Original) Je déconseille fortement l’offre en ligne de la boutique Le Lautrec. Nous avons offert un bon d’achat de 70 euros et il a fallu plusieurs mois , devoir se déplacer, payer un supplément.

Too bad (Original) Plus de 200€ d'achat et même pas une proposition de chocolat à déguster. Si les chocolats sont excellents et le personnel sympa les prix deviennent inabordable. Bien dommage

(Translated by Google) Very good products but after around ten visits I confirm that the reception is always cold and really not inviting. (Original) De très bons produits mais après une dizaine de visites je confirme que l'accueil est toujours froid et vraiment pas engageant.

(Translated by Google) Very friendly restaurant. The wine list is wonderful, the same goes for the cocktails. As for the food, there is nothing to complain about! The menu changes regularly, the products are fresh and the dishes offered are unique and delicious. The service is warm. I highly recommend this restaurant without hesitation! (Original) Restaurant très sympathique. La carte des vins est merveilleuse, idem pour les cocktails. En ce qui concerne la nourriture, il n'y a rien à redire ! La carte change régulièrement, les produits sont frais et les plats proposés sont inédits et délicieux. Le service est chaleureux. Je recommande fortement ce restaurant sans hésiter !

(Translated by Google) A wonderful selection of natural wines, and we were perfectly guided to a bottle that exactly met our expectations! We ordered a few plates, and the dishes were delicious. The chefs possess a rare mastery; the cuisine is original, modern, and truly excellent! A warm welcome that makes you want to come back! The prices are appropriate for the quality of the products offered and within the average range for this type of establishment. Nothing to complain about, just bravo :) (Original) Très belle selection de vins naturels et nous avons été parfaitement orienté sur une bouteille qui correspondait exactement à nos attentes !

(Translated by Google) “Suzanne is a true gem of Clermont. Refined dishes, impeccable service and a friendly atmosphere make each meal a memorable experience!” We tasted all the dishes. I will return with great pleasure. ✌️ (Original) “Suzanne, est une véritable pépite de Clermont.

(Translated by Google) Great welcome, atypical and friendly place. The service is top notch, a great wine list and good advice. The cuisine is exceptional with mixtures of flavor and color. The concept of the monochrome menu is great, we really enjoyed it. (Original) Super accueil, lieu atypique et convivial. Le service est au top, une super carte de vin et de bon conseil. La cuisine est exceptionnel avec des mélanges de saveur et de couleur. Le concept du menu monochrome est génial nous nous sommes régalé.

(Translated by Google) The menu clearly indicates: you have to order 3 dishes to eat properly for two. The concept is quite curious, but, that being said, the dishes are good and inventive. The cost, however, becomes quite high. The wine list is extensive but there are very few wines by the glass. For dessert we only tried the blueberry tart and were very disappointed: on a pastry as hard as cardboard, a blueberry coulis then a tasteless compact cheese, a little pepper saves the taste... At 9€ this expensive... Friendly staff. (Original) La carte l'indique clairement : il faut commander 3 plats pour manger correctement à deux. Le concept est assez curieux, mais, ceci étant dit, les plats sont bons et inventifs. Le coût devient cependant assez élevé. La carte des vins est très fournie mais il y a très peu de vins au verre. En dessert nous n'avons testé que la tarte aux myrtilles et avons été très déçus : sur une pâte dure comme du carton, un coulis de myrtilles puis un fromage compact insipide, un peu de piment sauve le goût... A 9€ cela fait cher... Personnel aimable.

(Translated by Google) Great address especially on Friday lunchtime. Very good dishes and top service. I recommend it with my eyes closed. Great atmosphere.

Notre adresse pour un vendredi midi à deux.

(Translated by Google) Gift received Viellard box, new generation, new work!!

(Translated by Google) Concerns the boutique on rue Eugène Cristal. Complement : When you enter a chocolate shop of this reputation, you should find on display a choice of “chocolate bites or candies” allowing you to put together a ballotin with a personal assortment! here, that is not possible... Nothing explained allowing this choice! The staff has nothing to do with it. Establishment also very poorly placed for the shop to be frequented. Boutique without character, relatively small, but more than sufficient for the few products on sale. Ultra reduced presentation of chocolates at retail if you wish to make a packet or a ballotin. Prohibitive prices beyond comprehension (120 €/kg)!!! Very high quality chocolates elsewhere for less than €80 per kilo! Nothing to do with the old store on rue Pascal!!! The customer passing through the store clearly does not interest them!!! They have other goals. Orders, shipments, fully packaged products not visible, ... Don't waste your time looking for the store!!! Maybe Rue Blatin???... (Original) Concerne la boutique rue Eugène Cristal. Complément : Lorsque l'on entre dans une chocolaterie de cette réputation, on devrait trouver en présentation, un choix de "bouchées ou bonbons chocolat" permettant de constituer un ballotin avec un assortiment personnel ! ici, cela n'est pas possible... Rien d'exposé permettant ce choix ! Le personnel n'y est pour rien. Etablissement par ailleurs très mal placé pour que la boutique soit fréquentée. Boutique sans caractère, relativement petite, mais largement suffissante pour le peu de produits à la vente. Présentation ultra réduite de chocolats au détail si l'on souhaite faire un paquet ou un ballotin. Des prix prohibitifs dépassant l'entendement (120 €/kg) !!! Des chocolats de très grande qualté ailleurs à moins de 80 € le kilo ! Rien à voir avec l'ancien magasin de la rue Pascal !!! Le client de passage en boutique ne les intéresse manifestement pas !!! Ils ont d'autres objectifs. Commandes, envois, produits tout emballés non visibles, ... Ne perdez pas votre temps à tourner pour chercher la boutique !!! Peut- être que Rue Blatin ???...

(Translated by Google) By far my favorite house for high quality chocolates, no disappointment as far as I'm concerned. I have a particular weakness for liqueur chocolates, which are special in that the liqueur remains "liquid" inside the coating. The chocolate is intense in taste and allows for a real contrast with the liquor inside. Special mention for those at Chartreuse! The others are also excellent, the ganaches are very successful. Prices are high but reflect the quality. (Original) De très loin ma maison préférée pour des chocolats de grande qualité, aucune déception en ce qui me concerne. j'ai un faible particulier pour les chocolats à la liqueur, qui ont ceci de particulier que la liqueur reste justement "liquide" à l'intérieur de l'enrobage. Le chocolat est intense en goût et permet un vrai contraste avec la liqueur à l'intérieur. Mention spéciale pour ceux à la Chartreuse ! Les autres sont également excellents, les ganaches sont très réussies. Les prix sont élevés mais reflètent la qualité.

(Translated by Google) Large selection of chocolates, fruit pastes, fondants... Everything is fresh and delicious. Two stores, one on avenue Ernest Cristal and one in the city center, rue Blatin, which helps reduce the wait for the bus whose stop is right next door. (Original) Grand choix de chocolats, pâtes de fruits,, fondants... Tout est frais et délicieux. Deux magasins, un avenue Ernest Cristal et un en centre ville, rue Blatin, qui permet d'amortir l'attente du bus dont l'arrêt est juste à côté.

(Translated by Google) The Clermont Chocolatier! Enjoy their specialties without moderation: divine mendiants, their famous palets, and the inimitable hazelnut or almond "cassés." The vintage chocolate bars also deserve a special mention: they're addictive! (Original) Le Chocolatier clermontois ! A gouter sans modération leurs spécialités : des mendiants divins, leurs fameux palets et les inimitables "cassés" aux noisettes ou aux amandes.

Great cheese. A must try is the flowing Saint-Nectaire. The flowing Saint-Nectaire has the risk to forget all the other great cheese. There is one blue cheese from the region which is very tasty because it has a very fine taste for a blue. And all the other Saint-Nectaire and not to forget the Tome Fraïche for a Aligot (Not difficult to cook at home) which can be used too for a gratinée. Will come again!

(Translated by Google) We ordered the cheese for our wedding, and all our guests loved it!!! Thank you so much! (Original) Nous avons commandé le fromage pour notre mariage, et tous nos invités ont adoré !!! Un grand merci !

(Translated by Google) Incredible attention from the man who attended us. Before buying the cheeses he offered us to try them all. He only speaks French and you have to talk to each other through gestures. You can take vacuum-packaged cheeses. The quality of the cheeses is excellent. In the market where it is located there is parking. It is worth coming expressly. (Original) Increible atencion por parte del hombre que nos atendio. Antes de comprar los quesos nos ofrecio probarlos todos. Solo habla frances y hay que hablarse por gestos. Puedes llevarte los quesos envasados al vacío. La calidad de los quesos es excelente. En el mercado en el que esta situado hay parking. Vale la pena venir expresamente.

(Translated by Google) I keep looking, but I can't find a better cheese shop in Clermont for the moment. The sellers give good advice, we feel that they know their products. A very good selection of cheese and just enough choice. (Original) Je continue à chercher, mais je ne trouve pas meilleure fromagerie sur Clermont pour l'instant. Les vendeurs sont de bons conseils, on sent qu'ils connaissent leurs produits. Une très bonne sélection de fromage et tout juste ce qu'il faut comme choix.

(Translated by Google) We have just bought some excellent Auvergne cheeses! The lady made us taste the different cheeses and gave us really good advice! She is very friendly and took the time to explain to us the making and maturing of her cheeses. I highly recommend! If you want to buy really good cheese, go for it!!! (Original) Nous venons d'acheter d'excellents fromages d'Auvergne! La dame nous a fait goûter les différents fromages et nous a vraiment bien conseillé !
