The best restaurants Puy-De-Dôme

Here's a traditional French lunchtime staple: the sandwich. Antonin Marchand has decided to offer us some of his own recipes: sandouiches. The menu includes buttered pork, smoked chicken, falafel and croque-monsieur. Each one is well presented and the flavors are there. And with good reason: they're made with quality local produce. The bread is much lighter and more easily digestible, a ciabatta sourdough bread. To accompany all this, delicious homemade drinks like kombucha and kefir are on offer. We love the wood-and-vegetable-toned decor, which contributes to a pleasant, tasty experience.

Thanks to the Bourgès brothers, you can rediscover the spirit of the neighborhood bistro between Les Salins and Marcombes. Every lunchtime on weekdays, come and enjoy Thibaut's simple, well-cooked dishes based on French gastronomy. A vegetarian dish and a truffade are also on the menu. Everything is prepared with local produce: the meats come from the neighboring butcher's and the breads from l'Atelier Bon. In the dining room, the two brothers are accompanied by Boran Mao-Johnston, who offers a warm welcome. The café also welcomes gourmands for game nights and match broadcasts. The restaurant can be privatized. This is the place you've been missing in the Vallières district!

A warm welcome, an aperitif, a tasty and generous plate, a view of the lake and the Sancy massif... the Auberge de la plage is a real break in the week, it smells like holidays and relaxation... and the right fork! On the menu are cheese and salted meat. Truffade, melted with Saint-Nectaire or fourme d'Ambert, Charolais beef carpaccio, duck confit with chanterelles, salads, including one vegetarian, and the famous boss's burger with steak salers and truffade. For the hungry, the homemade desserts of the day will add a sweet note. Remember to book in advance to fully enjoy this beautiful landscape.

After a hike, before an evening at the casino, it is possible to get some strength at the Bistrot de Sharlie. Some will recognize a touch of the Estredelle de Pont-du-Château, especially in the selection of wines. Normal: Frédéric Jacquelin is the new manager of the establishment, until then called Restaurant le Z. Pork filet mignon with cider, can tenderloin in port honey sauce, pike-perch filet with white butter, truffles, fondue au saint-nectaire... there is something for everyone. For dessert, gourmets will fall for crème brûlée or a tiramisu. Everything here is homemade, and Brigitte, the chef, in all sympathy, does not fail to come to the dining room to discuss gastronomy.

Next to the store of the same name, the small restaurant room is always full between noon and two, with a permanent ballet of diners. On the slate, a handful of appetizers, two or three daily specials and a full list of desserts. Everything is fresh, prepared daily with organic ingredients. The service is smiling and well-practiced. You have a good time, doing yourself and the planet a favor. The busy air of the customers does not encourage them to hang out at the table, everyone quickly finds their way back to the office, but the atmosphere is very warm.

Coppa, stracciatella, ricotta, pesto... here's a break that smacks of Italy! And with good reason: on the menu, the famous focaccias are king. Foca what? We're talking about a bread flavored with olive oil and aromatic herbs, topped with a variety of toppings. And at Tutto Bene, the recipes are original and tasty. The bread is homemade, and the products are fresh. The focaccia sandwich is made before our very eyes, so we don't have to wait as long. Not a sandwich fan? Salads are also available, giving you a taste of this famous bread! All dishes are generous and tasty. There are a few places to eat in and a terrace.

Fancy a trip back in time? Then step inside Bouillon Mocher! The décor, music and ambience take you back to the 1950s. Sylvain gives you a warm welcome and you're soon seated at a table with a deliciously retro decor. No fuss: your order is written directly on the tablecloth! On the menu: homemade mayo eggs or herring and apples in oil for starters, followed by basquaise chicken or homemade sausage and purée. For dessert, we stick to the classics: rum baba or fruit tart. A real favorite!

If you're a fan of Chinese cuisine, check out this new restaurant in the Jean Jaurès district! You'll eat to the sound of Chinese music in a typically decorated dining room. The specialty: homemade ravioli. A real treat for the taste buds. You can also try the shrimp ravioli in soup. Also worth discovering are the homemade stir-fried noodles with vegetables or chicken. The menu also includes the classics: egg rolls, shrimp fritters, chicken or pork in sweet and sour sauce, Peking duck, iced mochi...

Ramen, risotto, wok, spaghetti carbonara, bowl, lasagne... all these dishes are designed to be vegetarian. The plates are carefully prepared, and the flavors are present. The desserts are just as original, sweet and tasty, like the tarte bas spéculos with chocolate ganache, coconut chantilly and fresh strawberries. The menu changes every week, so you can come back regularly to discover new vegetarian dishes. We love the friendly welcome reserved for gourmands and gourmets, as well as the conviviality that reigns in this small, beautifully decorated room. Service is non-stop, so you can enjoy lunch on the spot, or a late-night snack.

From starters to desserts, Amélie Hogant's cuisine is all about vegetables, as the chef is a vegetarian herself. And we love it! She borrows recipes from all over the world to take us on a journey and introduce us to new flavors. The plates are colorful and appetizing. We like the roasted vegetable slaw with romesco sauce and the purple cupcake made with... beets. Everything is prepared with fresh, local vegetables. The menu changes regularly. In the dining room, the furniture is vintage for an indus feel, and the decor is quite pop! Nicolas Chene offers a warm, professional welcome, describing the dishes and homemade drinks...

Don't feel like choosing between a good sushi platter or Thai specialties? Then go to YamYam, which opened its doors at the beginning of 2024. Behind this new restaurant, located between Place Gaillard and Halle gourmande Saint-Pierre, we find Kéo, the manager of Sushik. Having worked alongside his father when he ran a restaurant, he has now taken flight on his own wings. In his new restaurant, accompanied by his team of cooks, he brings delicious Thai and Japanese flavors to life. On the one hand, the menu features a wide range of chicken, shrimp, beef and vegetable dishes, subtly seasoned with aromatic herbs and spices. On the other, twenty or so sushi platters will delight gourmets. The prices are low, and the place is both popular for a quick meal on the go and a dinner with friends where you like to linger.

If you want to discover authentic Lebanese cuisine, head to Tarbouch des Dômes. At this family-run restaurant on rue Saint-Domingue, you can start with a real Lebanese tabbouleh, traditional homos or try the fatouch, a crunchy, flavorful mixed salad. Follow with a sambousik (beef onion, grilled almonds and salad), a skewer or a generous chawarma or kafta plate to discover an assortment of local dishes. Also worth trying: raw kbbeh, a lamb tartar.

What if eating a burger wasn't so bad for your health after all? That's what Anthony and Louis want to achieve with their brand, which can be found in a number of cities. Their credo: to democratize organic farming and enable everyone to eat healthily. Their burgers are made with 100% organic, fresh, seasonal produce. No frozen products and no tomatoes in winter. Burgers are also available in vegetarian versions. Special mention goes to the fries, which are very appetizing, and the drinks, which are a welcome change from other fast-food restaurants (lemonade, ginger ale, mint green tea...). You can also choose a coleslaw salad as a side dish.

Mon Viet brings a touch of the exotic to Place de Jaude! You'll find classic Vietnamese street-food dishes to eat in or take away. The dishes are homemade and the menu changes with the seasons: chicken or beef soup in winter, salad in summer. All year round, you can treat yourself to a bahn mi, a sandwich with glazed pork, mortadella, vegetables and sweet-and-sour sauce, a welcome change from ham and butter! The menu also includes pork caramel, egg rolls, chicken curry... But also exotic ice creams and Vietnamese teas and coffees.
