Our take
For lunch in a former coaching inn without spending the whole afternoon there: at midday, the express set menu comes in two courses, at €20 in 2026. And if you come with fifteen or more, by reservation, the Bourbonnais menu brings out the pompe aux grattons.
A Moulins restaurant in a former coaching inn in the historic quarter: reworked traditional cooking and homemade dishes.
In the historic quarter of Moulins, La Petite Auberge occupies a former coaching inn, a genuine Bourbonnais house. In the kitchen, chef David Rollin serves reworked traditional cooking: homemade dishes, seasonal produce, carefully presented plates.
At lunchtime, the express set menu at €20 in 2026 (starter and main, or main and dessert) lets you eat without lingering. Coming with fifteen or more? Group menus are available, including a Bourbonnais menu with the pompe aux grattons (a local pastry made with pork cracklings). And your dog is welcome.
