The meal was served with little enthusiasm which confirmed what we were about to eat. My French wife described laTruffade as Truffade trop fade most probably prepared the previous day. bref, réchauffé ! My wife added. La tête de veau was served cold on a cold plate. Pity, as the dish could 've been good. The veg was woefully undercooked and we decided not to risk a dessert.

Smallish menu mainly local Auvergne fare and locally sourced. Food was excellent steak was perfect and the Tuffade was very good (cheese and parsley and potatoes) and great accompaniment to the local ham. Book to avoid disappointment in Summer as we were lucky to get a table.
