In the middle of a preserved nature, almost wild between the ponds that are the landscape of the Forez Plain, La Cotonne is the fruit of shared passions for horse riding and gastronomy. In this magical place, a country inn with a bucolic and romantic atmosphere, we come, to two in love, to family with children or groups (reception room up to 180 people), to rediscover the taste of "real things". Old horse boxes have been transformed into an extraordinary dining room. Exposed stones, objects around the horse, beautiful fireplace in winter and tables well placed. A mixture of rustic and elegant elegance "farmer farmer", of the best effect. Side kitchen, slate choice according to season market and inspiration from head: bowl in old - and when you say bowl, it is that the whole bowl in its mould is put on the table! -, goose rillettes and toast, Bourgogne snails, delicious chicken liver cake and forest, grilled pig foot, whole duck magret… A table with gourmet accents in the area where homemade, classic desserts offer an original presentation.

La Pataterie… Need to be very clever to understand that the star of the meal will be our famous potato! It's because nothing of this national star is cooking in many ways. Sometimes in a trilogy of famous or giant pastures, sometimes fondue with the crêmeux of the cheese or the saint-félicien. Served on large plates, it is tasted with and accompanied by soft local produce, cheeses, cold meats, crusts. On the top of the fashion, the patata burger! Great and delicious, it perfectly captures the slogan of the table set "No shop than du! '. Our favourite, the pom'in the oven, warm and crispy, it is ideal for great appetites with its "mega Savoyard" suit or recently through its new recipe, the farmer. The concept lacks originality, and thanks to low rates we understand why it is so attractive to families, who admit many to come here. However, the rustic decor typical of the mountains is a guarantee of conviviality for warm evenings between friends. We'll be quickly absorbed by the atmosphere by commanding a bunch of mates! There are so many things to discover that you still leave a few surprises but for the dessert you are strongly recommended the brioche to the air of lost bread… terribly good!

Forget the Monts du Lyonnais in Brittany! Celtic crosses, Breton music, colours and marine decorations, everything breathes Brittany into the table sets stuffed with anecdotes about this region. Originally from the corner, the boss fell madly in love with the latter with travel, probably by bike, because he was also a passion for the queen of the two wheels (hence the name of the address). Of course there are salads and menus of the day but rather taste sweet homemade pancakes or salted cakes (bergère, Landes, Atlantic etc: it is not the choice that is missing!), or even the two, you will not be disappointed. Naturally water all of this cider, because it would be criminal not to taste the one proposed by the Old Helmets. And there is really only the welcome to be as excellent as the kitchen. More than a place for lunch, a moment of escape…

Place Villeboeuf, Côté Parc serves a quality cuisine. This restaurant offers you a market cuisine based on fresh products remarkably prepared by the chef.

You will certainly succumb to homemade foie gras ice cream, roasted figs with honey, the duet of fishes of the moment bourride à la sétoise, beef steak with Montbrison baking powder or the crispy hazelnut praline! A sign of originality, the menu list has been reworked, as well as the wine list to accompany your meal.

It's cool and it's home! But Le Refuge is also a kitchen from products that are prepared according to the seasons. The typical dishes are designed with a fine decoration in the dish or dishes skilfully designed, and this does not lack quality! Fat foie steak, a beautiful beef room with veal juice sauce, is inventive for you! And to finish a small white cheese and the treats of the Refuge made home! You will regularly have the opportunity to rediscover the map, which is renewed every 3 months. The little plus: the décor made of wood, stones and exposed beams that give a true stamp to this place, and the pergola to enjoy the good air. A pleasant moment, we are not disappointed!
