Where to eat: the 11 best restaurants in Salers

In the middle of the old Salers, La Diligence is a very welcoming place. The food was amazing as was the kindness of the waitress. We really enjoyed our lunch! Don't forget to book your table in advance!

Best crêpes in Salers! We absolutely loved it, merci beaucoup.

I honestly feel bad writing this review, because the staff was very nice and welcoming. Also the aperitif and house red were very nice. However, the food: In a nutshell, I paid 55 Euros for 2 menus (entree, main, dessert) and 25cl of wine. If I paid half of that price I would have still been disappointed, but I would have gotten over it. My rating is based on my experience in France as a whole. I have been travelling in this country for almost 3 weeks, from Lille to Champagne, from Loire valley to Bordeaux, from Rhone valley to Lyon. We had some amazing meals at very reasonable prices. This was one of the most expensive meals and by far the worst of them all. The entree I could have made at home, the meat was tastless, the potato sides were greasy, and the dessert was store bought ice cream (although they declared it.. oddly). This was truely but unfortunately one of the worst meals I had from memory. I'm sorry to all the lovely staff, but the food we ate was not worth more than one star.

It's ok, but I wouldn't go back. The food was very greasy and in my opinion over priced, especially since there are better quality and priced restaurants nearby.

Great food. Kind hosts. Dogs of all sorts allowed and cats too. That makes for a bit of a stir at times

Nice meal, crowded in the summer, good wine

Good tartare, nice service.

Good restaurant with tasty food and good drinks. Fast service and very nice staff.

Super restaurant

(Translated by Google) Very warm welcome, very generous service, excellent meal, I recommend (Original) Très bon accueil service très copieux excellent repas je recommande

(Translated by Google) This Saturday, September 6, 2025, lunch on the terrace. The setting is pleasant and the dishes are generous and very well cooked. The products are local and the cooking is homemade for the majority of the dishes. Small downside: the glass of wine is offered at the end of the meal, the apologies from the waitress and a non-billing. I recommend this establishment. (Original) Ce samedi midi 6 septembre 2025, déjeuner en terrasse . Le cadre est agréable et les plats sont copieux et très bien cuisinés. Les produits sont locaux et la cuisine est maison pour la majorité des plats. Petit bémol le verre de vin est proposé à la fin du repas, les excuses de la serveuse et une non facturation. Je recommande cet établissement.

(Translated by Google) While staying in Salers and eager for a salad because it was hot, we took a table at Les Templiers. We ordered an XL salad, and what a surprise when the plates arrived: they were actually XXL salads. So full that we had trouble finishing them. Note: the products are local and high-quality. (Original) En séjour à Salers et désireux de manger une salade car il faisait chaud nous avons pris une table aux Templiers. Nous avons commandé une salade XL et quelle fût notre surprise quand arrivèrent les assiettes : il s’agissait plus de salades XXL. Tellement garnies que nous avons eu du mal à les finir. A noter produit locaux et de qualité.

(Translated by Google) Very good location and very friendly staff, however, a waiter with a cold didn't seem to take the necessary precautions between his sneezing and preparing our meals. Very good food, the desserts remain basic. Very good value for money. Thanks to them! (Original) Très bonne adresse et personnel très sympa cependant un serveur enrhumé ne semblait pas prendre les précautions nécessaires entre ses éternuements et la confection de nos plats. Très bon plats, les desserts restent basiques. Très bon rapport qualité/prix. Merci à eux!

(Translated by Google) Perhaps the best stuffed cabbage rolls I've ever tasted in Auvergne! In the form of a beautifully caramelized gratin. The chef's mother's recipe, according to this very welcoming waitress. The team is attentive. The portions are generous. Thank you for this wonderful culinary experience. (Original) Peut-être le meilleur choux farci dégusté en Auvergne! Sous forme de gratin bien caramélisé. La recette de la maman du cuisinier selon cette très accueillante serveuse. L'équipe est aux petits soins. Les portions sont généreuses. Merci pour ce beau moment culinaire.

Although the restaurant was full, the service was fast and impeccable. The use of fresh local produce is definitely very much appreciated.

Whereas the food looked fine, it was not hot enough. Aligot was without any particular flavour and not ‘stretchy enough’. We also ordered mohito and it tasted like there was barely any alcohol. And lastly.. I recommend to check the bill carefully - when we paid they charged us €20 more - €84 instead of €64. Luckily we spotted this and instead of apologising they said ‘ca arrive souvent’ …

Great food and service in a beautiful place 100% recommended,

Average meal, service was quick and staff friendly.

Very average. Apart from the location there is not much to expect from this place

To have a quick bite or confort food.

(Translated by Google) Very disappointed with this experience. The staff wasn't particularly friendly, and the menu is really basic, with very little choice. The portion served was small, filled mostly with salad to give the illusion of a hearty meal. Flies invited themselves onto my plate, which clearly spoiled my appetite. The aligot had no taste, which is frankly a shame. While the service is fast, you can tell it's mainly designed for passing tourists, with no concern for quality. I do not recommend it. (Original) Très déçue par cette expérience. Le personnel n’était pas particulièrement aimable, et le menu est vraiment basique, avec très peu de choix. La portion servie était petite, remplie surtout de salade pour donner l’illusion d’un plat copieux. Des mouches se sont invitées dans mon assiette, ce qui a clairement coupé l’appétit. L’aligot n’avait aucun goût, ce qui est franchement dommage. Certes, le service est rapide, mais on sent que c’est surtout pensé pour les touristes de passage, sans souci de qualité. Je ne recommande pas.

Beautiful room which was very high standard (close to 5 star hotels). The room had 2 balconies with views to both sides of the hotel! Very high speed and free internet.

Excellent hotel, super location, fabulous food value for money and friendly staff.

Amazing views, magnificent nature and delicious food.

Nice food

Great dinner

(Translated by Google) Very well-located hotel with a magnificent view to the sound of cowbells in the valley below. Small park nearby for walking the dogs. Spacious, very clean room with comfortable bed. Large bathroom with walk-in shower. (A kettle would be a nice touch.) Very friendly staff; dogs are welcome, even in the restaurant, which is appreciated. Varied breakfast with eggs, cold cuts, fruit, and pastries. For dinner, for my part, the crayfish starter had far too much crème fraîche and lacked flavor, and unfortunately, I ended up with a slab of Salers cheese. Otherwise, the homemade iced nougat was excellent. As for the spa, I would like to sincerely thank Ms. Sabrina Fageol, who is very professional and, with her medical knowledge, her head massage is fabulous. Very dedicated, her massages are extremely relaxing. With her charm and calm, the rest and change of scenery were complete. I highly recommend. (Original) Hotel très bien situé avec une vue magnifique au son des cloches des vaches dans la vallée en contrebas. Petit parc à côté pour promener les toutous. Chambre spacieuse très propre et lit confortable. Grande salle de bain avec douche italienne. (Une bouilloire serait un petit plus). Personnel très chaleureux, les chiens sont acceptés, même en restauration, ce qui est appreciable. Petit déjeuner diversifié avec oeufs, charcuteries fruits et pâtisseries. Pour le repas du soir, pour ma part, l'entrée écrevisse avait beaucoup trop de crème fraîche et manquait de saveur, et malheureusement, je suis tombée sur un pavé de Salers nerveux. Sinon, le nougat glacé maison était excellent. Pour ce qui est du SPA, je remercie vivement Mme Sabrina Fageol très professionnelle et avec ses connaissances medicales, son massage cranien est fabuleux. Très impliquée, ses massages détendent grandement. Avec son charme et son calme, le repos et le dépaysement ont été complets. Je recommande vivement.

(Translated by Google) Very good hotel in SALERS. The location is simply incredible because you have the view of the Auvergne mountains from your room. The restaurant is good, with good value for money, I would say one of the best in Salers. The service is great and the team is really super friendly. Finally, last but not least, the SPA which is a real moment of relaxation. It is not big but it is pleasant. My wife received a massage by Mrs. Flageol, very good. (Original) Très bon hotel à SALERS. L'emplacement est tout simplement incroyable car vous avez la vue sur les monts d'auvergne depuis votre chambre. Le restaurant est bon, avec un bon rapport qualité-prix, je dirais l'un des meilleurs de Salers. Le service est super et l'équipe est vraiment super sympa. Enfin, last but not least, le SPA qui est un vrai moment détente. C'est pas grand mais c'est agréable. Mon épouse a reçu un massage par Mme Flageol , très bien.

Very nice food with local cured meats and cheese. Local recipes include truffade and punti and bourriol, all home cooked. Good serving size. Avoid the rosé wine first price though. And if you're vegan run away!

(Translated by Google) We ate at this restaurant during our vacation and had a great time. The food was very good and the people are really friendly and kind. I recommend it! (Original) Nous avons mangé dans ce restaurant pendant nos vacances et avons passé un excellent moment. Le repas était très bon et les personnes sont vraiment sympathiques et gentilles. Je recommande !

(Translated by Google) It's simple: we enjoyed the food, the staff, and the service so much that we came back to eat there the next day. 😇 A special mention for dessert: the flourless chocolate cake with its delicate chocolate coulis, a delicious and masterful delight, the likes of which are rarely tasted anywhere else! We tasted, appreciated, and devoured: - The juicy pork sausage and aligot, to die for; - The Salers rib-eye steak, cooked to a perfect rare, with its signature branding and a touch of salt that enhances the quality of the meat without altering its natural flavor; - The fish quenelle and its warm, delicious sauce. Not to mention the starters, fries, and salads, also impeccably prepared, for maximum enjoyment, without a hint of regret (even if you've overeaten). All in an authentic setting and with a warm welcome, what more could you ask for? 😌 A future little haven for our vacation in this beautiful region! See you soon, with pleasure and delicious food, Lucie and Gilles. (Original) C'est simple : nous avons tellement apprécié la cuisine, l'équipe et le service que nous sommes revenus y manger le lendemain. 😇 Mention spéciale au dessert : le gâteau au chocolat sans farine avec son petit coulis de chocolat de qualité, un délice gourmand et maîtrisé comme on en déguste peu ailleurs ! Nous avons goûté, apprécié, et dévoré : - La saucisse de porc juteuse et son aligot, une tuerie ; - L'entrecôte de Salers à la cuisson saignante juste PARFAITE, avec son marquage et son petit sel qui sublime la qualité de la viande sans la dénaturer ; - La quenelle de poisson et sa sauce chaude et gourmande. Sans oublier les entrées, frites et salades, elles aussi impeccablement réalisées, pour un maximum de plaisir, sans une once de regret (même en ayant trop mangé). Le tout dans un cadre authentique et avec un accueil chaleureux, que demander de mieux ? 😌 Un futur petit repère pour nos vacances dans cette belle région ! À très bientôt avec plaisir et gourmandise, Lucie et Gilles.

(Translated by Google) Reservations are required if you want to enjoy succulent dishes. Exceptional local cuisine. Very warm welcome, the owner will try to find you a seat whenever possible. Very good advice. Humor and a very keen business sense. Go for it. (Original) Réservation obligatoire si vous voulez déguster des plats succulents. Nourriture locale d'exception. Accueil très chaleureux, la patronne, dans la mesure du possible, essayera de vous trouver une place. Très bons conseils. De l'humour et un sens commercial très aiguë. Foncez.

(Translated by Google) I stumbled upon this restaurant by chance while visiting Salers, and it was a very pleasant surprise. It was delicious. The vegetarian dish was excellent, as were the fries. The restaurant was already full, but they pushed the walls open to try and serve everyone, which was great :) (Original) Tombée par hasard sur ce restaurant en visitant Salers, très bonne surprise c'était délicieux, le plat végétarien était excellent et les frites aussi. Le restaurant était déjà plein mais ils ont poussé les murs pour essayer de servir tout le monde quand même, c'était chouette :)

(Translated by Google) Cozy and spotless place, delicious dishes with appetizing aromas and careful presentation. A bit of a wait without a reservation, but every bite was worth it. I highly recommend! (Original) Lieu cosy et impeccable, plats savoureux aux arômes appétissants et présentation soignée. Un peu d’attente sans réservation, mais chaque bouchée en valait la peine. Je recommande vivement !

(Translated by Google) We shared a meal with friends at La Poterne and were delighted. The warm atmosphere and relaxed service make this small restaurant a must-visit in Salers. The menu is varied without being overly extensive and includes many local specialties at reasonable prices. The dark chocolate fondant and the red fruit and white chocolate tiramisu are to die for. (Original) Nous avons partagé un repas entre amis à La Poterne et nous en sommes ressortis ravis. Atmosphère chaleureuse et service décontracté font de ce petit restaurant une adresse incontournable de Salers. La carte est variée sans être trop longue et comprend de nombreuses spécialités locales à des prix raisonnables. Le fondant au chocolat noir et le tiramisu fruits rouges chocolat blanc sont à tomber.

Bad review for restaurant however hotel was lovely. Receptionists were very nice and staff are very kind. Spa is great too! Back to the restaurant. Food was disappointing. Tasteless beef, not cooked as asked, service was horrendously slow. Starter and dessert were decent but not close to asking price. Staff were nice but rarely available. Better go to the neighboring restaurants.

Lovely hotel, not very experienced staff, food average for high prices charged. Great atmosphere though

Had dinner here twice and it was excellent.

Excellent restaurant

Top

Extra!

Super

(Translated by Google) You can eat everything including pancakes. Personally, a great complete omelette, very well supplied. The team is very attentive, the open kitchen will allow you to congratulate the cooks. A good address as we are Breton we have not tried the crepes. The rest of the menu was already very attractive with lots of local products. (Original) Vous pourrez manger de tout y compris des crêpes. Perso omelette complète super, très bien fourni. L'équipe est très attentionnée, la cuisine ouverte permettra de féliciter les cuisiniers. Une bonne adresse comme nous sommes breton nous n'avons pas testé les crêpes. Le reste de la carte était déjà bien attirant avec plein de produits locaux.

(Translated by Google) Wide choice, good pancakes and pancakes but also regional specialties. Very friendly staff. This creperie is very successful and it is better to reserve. (Original) Large choix, bonnes galettes et crêpes mais aussi spécialités régionales. Personnel très sympa. Cette crêperie a beaucoup de succès et il vaut mieux réserver.

(Translated by Google) Excellent creperie for both buckwheat pancakes and sweet ones. The truffade is good and so are the other dishes. The products are fresh and quality. Cordial and dynamic service, warm welcome from the owners. We thank you very much for enjoying us over the last few days. Kind regards. Bruno & Luc (Original) Excellente crêperie tant pour les galettes de sarrasin que celles sucrées. La truffade y est bonne et les autres plats également. Les produits sont frais et de qualité . Service cordial et dynamique , accueil chaleureux des patrons. Nous vous remercions vivement pour nous avoir régalés durant ces derniers jours. Bien cordialement. Bruno & Luc

(Translated by Google) Very well located creperie. We ate on the terrace in beautiful sunshine. Pleasant and responsive staff. On the other hand, the pancakes served are not great. The dough (buckwheat) has little taste, it's really not worth the Breton pancakes. Local products not very valued in the different types of pancakes offered, plates too small, and lack of presentation, it's a shame. (Original) Crêperie très bien placée. Nous avons mangé en terrasse par un beau soleil. Personnel agréable et réactif. Par contre les galettes servies ne sont pas formidables. La pâte (au sarrasin) à peu de goût,, ça ne vaut vraiment pas les galettes bretonnes.Produits du terroir peu valorisés dans les différents types de galettes proposées, assiettes trop petites, et manque de présentation, c'est dommage.

(Translated by Google) Nice, good and beautiful setting Arrived around 1:15 p.m., no problem eating. Terrace possible, but in hot weather preferred the interior: vaulted ceiling, simple but nice decor. Perfect welcome, waitress with a smile and always cordial despite the crowd. Very correct expectation We opted for a Rocamadour salad (good and plentiful) and a mountain crepe (for my teenage son who gobbled it up, so I think it was good!) I recommend this creperie, for its setting, its staff and its cuisine: in short, a good time (Original) Sympa, bon et beau cadre Arrivé vers 13h15, pas de problème pour manger. Terrasse possible, mais par forte chaleur préféré l'intérieur : plafond voûté, déco simple mais sympa. Accueil parfait, serveuse avec le sourire et toujours cordiale malgré le monde. Attente très correcte Nous avons opté pour une salade de Rocamadour (bonne et copieuse) et une crêpe montagnarde (pour mon ado de fils qui l'a englouti, donc je pense qu'elle était bonne !) Je conseille cette crêperie, pour son cadre, son personnel et sa cuisine : bref, un bon moment

(Translated by Google) Nice place with good service, fast service and tasty crepes and steak. The place was packed on a Sunday at 1:00 PM. Highly recommended. (Original) Leuke zaak met goede service , snelle bediening en lekkere crepes en steak . De zaak zat vol op een zondag om 1300u . Een aanrader.

(Translated by Google) A restaurant that I highly recommend! A wide choice of dishes, desserts, starters for all tastes. A warm welcome and an interior with a cozy atmosphere perfect for the place! We ate very well, the pancakes were delicious as were the sweet crepes. All adapted to local products. We will definitely come back! (Original) Un restaurant que je conseille fortement ! Un large choix de plats, desserts, entrées pour tous les goûts. Un accueil chaleureux et un intérieur à l'ambiance cosy parfaite pour les lieux ! Nous avons très bien mangé, les galettes étaient délicieuses ainsi que les crêpes sucrées. Le tout adapté aux produit locaux. Nous reviendrons assurément !

Great food as a whole. Fine dining 3 course meal experience for a little more than 20 Euros. If you visit Salers you must try this place out! Remember to make a booking because it's very popular. Only small issue was with the Jambon a little dry and the dessert not quite what I expected from a Michelin restaurant. Staff was very nice and welcoming. Entree and main absolutely outstanding

I don't even know where to start. If you are searching for an expensive fast food restaurant, this is just the place to go. First of all, the drinks are served in plastic cups. Wine comes from a paper box. There are only 3 different dishes on the menu, and they are served in paper boxes with wooden cutlery. All the furniture is plastic, as cheap as it can get. The bread comes dry and stone hard without any butter or dips. There is not even pepper and salt on the table. The music is straight up from a freshman high school party. Loud and trashy. The menu is overall way overpriced for what you get. From the reviews, we were expecting quite a nice place to eat, but when we got there we wanted to leave asap.

Very friendly staff, delicious food and a fair price (considering Salers is flooded by tourists). I normally don't tip, but in case I did because it was exceptional. Great place to bring your kids too btw

Great food and wine. Relaxed atmosphere, would recommend a visit.

French food in its true form. I would recommend the charcuterie for lunch.

Delicious !

Very good food and very friendly service

The staff are fantastic, helpful and really care about the food. The food is simply amazing. Freshly cooked and so delicious. Thank you to everyone at Le P'tit Comptoir! We will be returning!

We went here just for drinks. The staff were great. Saw dishes being served and they looked very good. Kitchen very well laid out. We will be going back with friends for a long lunch.

Cool

Exelent

Excellent !

Great place

(Translated by Google) Seriously, it's really good. We chose a €37 set menu: starter, main course, and dessert: Charcuterie board. Sliced ​​just right. Steak steak with aligot in blue cheese sauce. Very tender Salers meat, cooked to perfection. Excellent blueberry tart. As a bonus, our four-legged friends are welcome. And so are the ANCV (National Association of Veterinary Physicians). (Original) Très sérieusement c’est vraiment très bon. Nôtre choix c'est arrêté sur une Formule à 37 € Entrée, plat, dessert : Planche de charcuterie. Coupé comme il ce doit. Entrecôte avec de l’aligot sauce au bleu. Viande de Salers très tendre et cuisson respectée. Tarte aux Myrtilles excellente. Le petit plus nos animaux à 4 Pattes sont acceptés. Et ANCV aussi.
