Description

This bistro is the more casual sibling of the iconic Auberge de la Tour, which is even more reason to stay overnight in the medieval village of Marcolès deep in the Cantal countryside. Whether it is in the vaulted dining room or on the pleasant alfresco terrace, you will sample deftly crafted regional recipes with a fondness for local produce: trout from the volcanoes, free-range poultry, Auvergne cheese, cottage garden veg… Examples: seed crusted trout, roast quail in Auvergne blue cheese, or a citrus fruit réligieuse pastry.
