Time Out says

3 out of 5 stars

A loft-like ambiance, with rows of neatly polished and arranged clogs hanging from the rafters. It’s kitsch but completely self-assured, and will appeal to nostalgics. One you’ve slid onto the one of the large scratched leather banquettes, you can focus your attention on the short menu (set formulas at €25 and €35). A lot of it comes from the Auvergne, but not all, aiming to satisfy the trendier local clientele.

The starter portions are big enough to floor a champion racehorse, with coddled eggs filled with blue Auvergne cheese, a charcuterie board big enough to share, house foie gras and beautifully seasoned herring with fried potatoes. For main dishes it’s the same story; braised beef cheek and a tartlet rich in Saint-Nectaire cheese, veal escalope and grilled sardines. Come here with bold, hungry friends, and come back for the traditional Auvergne tripou (veal tripe and stomach) if nothing else – though the wine bar and charcuterie to go are both also pretty tempting.
