The best bistros and brasseries Auvergne

Known to everyone for more than sixty years, this bar-restaurant on the banks of the Allier is located next to the Boutiron Bridge. It includes three modular rooms decorated in a chic bistro style. Richard and his team offer you generous traditional homemade dishes. Enjoy mixed salads, but also beef bourguignon, tripe, entrecote charolaise, homemade burger, among others, to finish with crème brûlée, floating island, or seasonal fruit pie. On Friday midday, place at the head of the veal with a ravigote sauce and seasonal vegetables. From Friday evening to Sunday evening, enjoy the mussels and chips or their specialities: the frying of bleak biscuits and frogs' legs to take away. They also design special menus for Valentine's Day, Pentecost, Mother's and Father's Day, and others, as well as for the Christmas and New Year's holidays. Whether with family, friends or colleagues, this is the right place to spend a pleasant evening on the terrace, overlooking the wooded park, or why not rent the rooms. The large shaded parking lot allows you to park in complete peace of mind. Smiling welcome.

In the commune of Haut-Bocage, Stéphanie and Arnaud have made their establishment a very friendly place, adding a small extension to it, allowing them to accommodate around thirty people, giving it a nice touch. Add to that a pleasant terrace, made of small pink gravel, hidden by the Virginia creeper, surrounded by potted lantanas and petunias. Shaded by colourful curtains adorned at night with a starry sky of small lights. Arnaud elaborates a traditional cuisine made with very local products. Its salads are composed of sheep's cheese from Louroux-Hodement, and goat's cheese from Venas. On weekends, he offers you his specialities of foie gras, veal head and veal andouillette with string. He also makes special meals for the holidays. They organize a themed meal on the first Friday evening of the month, mussels and chips, gagouilles and snails, sauerkraut... They also offer takeaway meals. Starting next summer, a pallet bar will be added on the terrace. Don't hesitate to get off the highway to stop by this top couple's house!
