Laurent 1er - Mont-Dore

J'ai erré dans la ville à la recherche d'un endroit ouvert le soir hors saison et suis tombé sur cet endroit très agréable.

Nice looking place, bright with period features. Waitress could be a good poker player yet service was reasonably prompt and polite. Cheese selection was very good. My coq au vin proved to be an interesting enigma. The picture below shows 1 of the two "knuckles"...More

This brasserie in the centre of the town offers excellent local food at good value prices with friendly and effective service in nice surroundings. What more can you ask?

The plat du jour was faux filet with blue d'Avergne and frites (steak and fries) it was very tasty and delicious! The glass of house red wine was pretty bad, by French standards...no excuse for bad wine in this country! The dessert was a cream cake with caramel sauce and it was incredible. The staff was somewhat welcoming, but the interior was charming and inviting. hey have a collection of antique radios from the 40s 50s that were lovely. We'd definitely go again!

Cash only and no one speaks English. Adequate for a drink. Didn’t eat, can’t report on the food. Local wine is nice.

We booked this place last minute as the primary choices were all booked up. The reviews in the Internet were not that good but we decided to give it a go. On the arrival we got a comfortable table and ordered two Menus for 18 euro with the Truffade and vine. Ladies on the service were helpful and nice, ready to chat and joke with customers, service was super quick and Entrée and the Plat were tasty. The only negative point was the Blueberry tart, it was not really fresh, don’t take it, but the ice-cream was great. We chatted about the bad reviews with the owner and he explained his point of view. Nice evening.

Bel endroit, lumineux avec des éléments d'époque. La serveuse pourrait être une bonne joueuse de poker, mais le service était raisonnablement rapide et poli. La sélection de fromages était très bonne. Mon coq au vin s'est avéré être une énigme intéressante. L'image ci-dessous montre l'un des deux jarrets servis, constitué principalement d'os et entouré d'une viande savoureuse. J'ai eu du mal à identifier la viande et nous avons même supposé qu'ils pourraient élever d'énormes chapons ici. C'était en fait plutôt sympa, donc je suis simplement curieux de savoir ce que j'ai pu réellement manger si du poulet, de quel type ? Quand il est arrivé, je pensais en fait que la serveuse m'avait mal entendu et que j'avais eu un bœuf. Sinon un restaurant agréable.
