Our take
A place where everything is homemade and the brunch menu changes every month.
Rue Lamartine in Clermont-Ferrand, a café and tea room where everything is homemade: breakfast, dish of the day and a brunch whose menu changes every month.
Rue Lamartine, in Clermont-Ferrand, Chez Maximes is a café, a brunch spot and a tea room all at once. Everything here is homemade, with seasonal cooking that is simple and designed for sharing.
Breakfast is served Wednesday to Saturday from 09:00 to 11:00 (2026 hours): pancakes, brioche French toast, scrambled eggs. At lunchtime, Wednesday to Friday (2026), you have the menu and a set menu of the day, with the dish of the day announced on the blackboard. The brunch menu changes every month: complete set menu at €25 in 2026, with a savoury dish, a dessert, a hot drink and a freshly squeezed orange juice or a homemade iced tea.
We recommend booking, especially at weekends (in 2026). The café also hosts events (drag bingo, concerts) and, in 2026, welcomes you in the evening for private hire, for a birthday or a dinner with colleagues.
