Le Cromesquis

€€Modern Cuisine

After an impressive career working in Michelin - starred restaurants in Switzerland, the chef has returned home, to his wife's region. In an unusual setting – a former forge that has been refurbished with a lot of wood, concrete and picture windows –, he proposes modern and delicious dishes.

TripAdvisor review sample · 4.4/5 · 80 reviews

Le Cromesquis is noted for modern French cuisine, with high marks for ingredient freshness and flavor balance, particularly in dishes like foie gras and Cantal beef. However, service consistency varies significantly; while some praise the warm hospitality, others report slow pacing, cold welcomes, or lack of wine guidance. The ambiance features refined decor, including a vaulted basement, but the multi-level layout poses accessibility challenges for disabled guests. Although food quality is generally excellent, the uneven service and physical barriers detract from the overall experience, making it a mixed bag depending on individual expectations regarding staff attentiveness.

Suitable for diners seeking high-quality modern French cuisine who can tolerate potential service inconsistencies; those with mobility issues should proceed with caution.

Les Quatre Saisons

€€Modern Cuisine

The cooking of Didier Guibert, whose restaurant is located in a quiet little street in the city centre, is sincere and nicely done. He only works with fresh produce – and in particular meat supplied by his two brothers, butchers by trade. A well-run place.
