10. Le Bistrot D'a Cote

Reviewed By Gordon S
This could be a bit pricey. We went for a birthday celebration so cost wasn't the primary concern - special occasions are birthdays!Anyway, the food was fresh, as available according to the season, served in a 'modern' style, but in an unfussy and friendly way.Ingredients were fresh, well cooked, and care was taken in presentation. A small restaurant, clearly busy on a weekday, and turning customers away. Good wines, and no real sense of pressure from the staff which adds to the ambience - I dislike this consistent asking if everything is OK all too present in eating places. I'd go there again, if I was in town

In Clermont, there are MANY restaurants to choose from. Therefore, to receive a recommendation to visit Le Kitchen meant ot had to be special. And it was. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the food was local, simple and well cooked. The wine was local as was the cheese. Please make sure you try the truffade. A very, very pleasent experience.

This is a small restaurant off the beaten path with excellent food and great service. The Esquisse menu included 4 courses which were all delicious and very well presented. At 30 euros, this is exceptional value for money. If Clermont Ferrand is on your itinerary, you should make a stop here - you won't be disappointed!

This is the kind of review I probably shouldn't write as ... i don't want to find myself unable to book a table here!The food is always excellent, changes every day ... there is a fine wine collection and the very genial Claude who owns this restaurant always greets his customers with kindness and appreciation. Julien the waiter and sommelier is excellent too and speaks English.If you are looking for a superb French bistrot experience, then this is it.

I've walked past this location dozens of times and until I was asked to join a group here for lunch, I had no idea there was a restaurant here. That makes me sad for all the times that I could have dined here -- but didn't. If only I had been wiser....I'm never quite sure what to make of the often brutal French reviews for restaurants on TripAdvisor. Sometimes they amplify points I agree. Sometimes they make a bigger issue than I might make over a minor transgression. In this case, I am simply baffled.The service, from the moment the doors were opened, was impeccable. The dining room is, indeed small and, yes, a reservation is advisable -- but the small room adds to the atmosphere. It doesn't detract from it. If you have a reservation, you'll appreciate the ambiance.The wine menu has a broad selection. For our varied lunchtime meal choices, we were thinking a red Sancerre would work and we were pleasantly surprised to see this uncommon wine on the menu...for a terrific price, too. (Beware: Loire wines are listed in the same section as Auvergne wines, so don't skip past the Loire offerings when skipping past the Auvergnat wines, as I almost did.)The fixed menu offerings are reasonably priced and allow for ample flexibility. If, however, you stray into the a la carte section of the menu, the prices skyrocket. If money is an important consideration, there's no need to depart from fixed menu options -- even for vegetarians.As for criticisms regarding portion size, perhaps it was the fact that we were dining at LaMartne for lunch, but I had no sense that anyone in our group would leave with hunger pangs. This holds true whether ordering price fixe or a la carte.All in all, as lunches go, this was one of the best experiences I've had. Once you find Pavilion Lamartine, you'll be glad you did.

We were staying at the Logis hotel opposite and read the reviews for the restaurant which were really good. Fortunately they had space for the 4 of us and it was as good as it's reviews. The location is non-descript outside but nicely decorated inside in traditional french style. The menu choices were slightly limited to two fixed menus. Our children are now grown up (19 & 23) and were happy to try new types of food. When they were younger we mighty have struggled to find food they would eat here. The food though was excellent. Good traditional french food, well cooked and well presented. Good wine list including many local wines. If you are in the area it's worth a trip here.

We came here for lunch. The restaurant I understand is new but had quite good ratings. The service is average, not fantastic: we had 2 waiters one who was very amiable, and a female who was extremely rude to us and forgot most of what she was in charge to serve us (bread, salt etc). Now I give only two stars because outside of the service, the food was a real deception. We all got their most expensive dishes (entrecôte with ratatouille, pommes sautées, tagliatelle) and there was no taste, no seasoning effort... It was sad to eat and I felt ripped to be charged so much for this insipid meal. We left without dessert or coffee and won't come back.

Clearly a very popular eatery in Clermont-Ferrand and rightly so. The layout is simple, friendly and unpretentious and so is the service and the food. This is the kind of place where you can drink beer with your hamburger without feeling guilty for not having ordered wine, and you will leave the place smiling after eating their clearly well made food and even after paying the very reasonable bill.

Pricy, a bit depressing atmosphere, but good !Being in Clermont-Ferrand I wanted to try one of the âstarredâ restaurants.Having tried some others before, I went for a new one : Apicius.The website was very nice.First I realized it was closed on weekends. This is bad.Then I managed to go on a Monday.The atmosphere is rather depressing. It was only elderly people, not very crowded, no music and the atmosphere even if topped by some red sofas is cold.The service is much average, not worth as starred restaurant.The food is creative (but not too much) and real good.The wine list is not very good and too pricy for what it is.Overall a good experience thanks to the very innovative and good food.I would still recommend the place if you are not depressed and not on your own and rather numerous to create the atmosphere yourselves.
