Radio
From the upper reaches of town, this attractive hotel dating from the 1930s broadcasts a non-stop resounding tribute to the electro-magnetic waves and the triode vacuum tube that made the invention of the talkies and the wireless possible. Its Art Deco decor has lost none of its splendour – mosaic flooring, decorative wrought iron and a marriage of glass and mirrors. In the kitchen, chef Wilfrid Chaplain mixes influences from his native Normandy and his adopted Auvergne, drawing out their gentle, little-explored harmonies. Technically proficient, he creates ambitious, subtle and delicate cuisi
WebsiteLe Pré - Xavier Beaudiment
"The Auvergne I want you to meet is the one we encounter and pick every morning in our mountains, meadows and forests." The words of local lad Xavier Beaudiment are far from platitudes. Le Pré celebrates the quintessence of its region through cuisine that is both instinctive and poetic. Frog’s legs, pike, foie gras and rabbit are lovingly and enthusiastically crafted and paired with some 200 plants and wild herbs picked at the foot of the volcanoes or in the establishment’s own herb garden. All of which is washed down with a knock-out wine list.
WebsiteJean-Claude Leclerc
Rather than a summons to a hearing, this restaurant near the courthouse extends an invitation to foodies! Jean-Claude Leclerc has been running this popular Clermont-Ferrand restaurant for over two decades. The chef delivers his balanced and assured take on seasonal classical cuisine in an elegant contemporary setting. The dishes are unapologetically indulgent, as illustrated by the beef tournedos with Périgueux sauce and melt-in-the-mouth potatoes with Cantal cheese, or the sea bass with gently braised savoy cabbage and black truffle.
WebsiteLe Welcome
This gem of a bistro, which fully lives up to its name, is established in a country town known for its ties to former French president, Giscard d’Estaing. Chef Sylvain Revelant (stints with Édouard Loubet and Hélène Darroze, among others) concocts the kind of hearty fare that always goes down a treat. Predominantly local ingredients set the scene in crisp, fragrant dishes, e.g. asparagus and pine buds; croaker, wild mushrooms and a shellfish emulsion. A friendly, easy-going vibe and cheerful service.
Apicius
Bang in the city centre, on the first floor of Saint Pierre Market, this swanky restaurant enjoys a lofty location. The stylish venue sports a series of beautifully appointed contemporary dining rooms and exquisite tableware. Chef Arkadiusz Zuchmanski, of Polish extraction, decided to move to France to fortify a vocation that took root in the kitchen of his forebears. He confesses an unbridled passion for noble ingredients and for Auvergne, which reminds him of the landscapes of his home city, Drzewica. The focus is on visually striking plating and honest, simply crafted ingredients, such as f
WebsiteL'Ostal
Quentin Brunet (formerly of Polypode) welcomes diners confidently and warmly to this Ostal (house in the local dialect). You will be seated in a snug dining room (seating for twenty) appointed in a smart, contemporary vibe with natural materials. The several-course set menu showcases the chef’s creativity and culinary skill: Breton langoustine, horseradish-laced seaweed tartare; free-range guinea fowl with cèpes and butternut; blueberry dessert with fermented milk and oxalis. A spot-on lineup in the zeitgeist.
WebsiteLa Flèche d'Argent
La Flèche d'Argent – the name is a nod to the incredible "Silver Arrows" Mercedes-Benz Formula 1 cars of the 1930s – references the nearby Circuit de Charade racetrack. In a plush decor, chef Clément Lorente serves up his contemporary cuisine in a multi-course set menu format. His dishes display excellent technique and incorporate creative touches. The ingredients are of the highest quality: foie gras from the Plaine de Limagne, artichokes from Roussillon, saffron from Mazayes, bluefin tuna from the Mediterranean. For dessert, a tribute to the chef's grandmother's Agen prune flan is a real hit
WebsiteLe Bistrot d'à Côté
In this pleasantly fashionable bistro in a pedestrian street by Place de Jaude and St-Pierre-les-Minimes Church, Valentin Chambonnière concocts gutsy, up-to-date fare, with a hint of nostalgia and based on seasonal ingredients. The sensibly priced menus are lip smackingly enticing: grilled loin of veal, garlic foam, millefeuille of potatoes and fresh tomme cheese; steamed Atlantic cod, beurre noisette, creamy celery and curry foam, followed by grapefruit-laced iced parfait, rose- and elderflower-flavoured ganache. Splendid cocktails and spirits. Warm, spot-on welcome and service.
