I have eaten in many restaurants in Clermont-Ferrand and in France over the past 10 years and this is by far the best restaurant I have visited. I liked the atmosphere and the lay-out of the restaurant as in contrast to other top quality restaurants we had plenty of space and could easily hear each other. I have a weakness for fois gras and it was absolutely fabulous. Each of us had different meals so we were able to taste 3 different entrees, main courses, desserts (and of course cheese). The food was extremely fine and by that I mean each dish opened up different taste buds and the combinations were refreshing and enticing. One has to eat slowly here as you will want to savor the surprising flavor combinations. Par for the course for a restaurant in the Auvergne, the cheese was exceptional and the dessert incredible. I highly recommend this restaurant! In contrast to some reviews, I found the prices appropriate and the price quality ratio exceptional.
