Our take
The reliable city-centre bistro: fair bill, a chalkboard that changes, quick service. A good option for a business lunch or a dinner after a show.
A stone's throw from Jaude, Benoît Piedpremier's restaurant since 2011: market chalkboard menu, flavours of the Mediterranean and Piedmont, Bib Gourmand from 2013 to 2024.
A bistro on rue Saint-Adjutor in Clermont-Ferrand, 2 minutes from place de Jaude. Market cooking with flavours of the Mediterranean, Piedmont and Auvergne, daily chalkboard menu. Set menu at weekday lunch, à la carte in the evening. Warm dining room, terrace in season, a bistro atmosphere of regulars and tourists. Booking recommended at weekends. Closed on Wednesdays and Sundays.
Why we love it
- Market chalkboard menu that changes every day
- 2 minutes from place de Jaude
- Good-value lunch set menu on weekdays
Top tip
The weekday lunch set menu remains the best value at the restaurant. Ask for the day's suggestions, the chalkboard changes with the market. Lunch service is short, between 12:00 and 13:00: don't aim for 12:50.
