Auberge de L'abbaye - Brioude

We each had the €19.50 menu consisting of a starter and main, followed by desert. The dining room was pleasant and service appropriate. I 'd suggest the Saler steak. However, Americans should be aware; beef steak here(in France) is not going to melt in your mouth. On the other hand, flavor is exceptional.

Have tried a few restaurants around here though we would try this one. We were lucky we booked as it was full and people were being turned away. Very nice 4 course meal 27 Euros all drinks extra. We were in an old sheep barn obviously done u and modernised. The local farmers kept passing by with loads of smelly stuff so it was an experience.It was whit week thus lots of people and the first sun we had had for ages. The man serving didn't smile once!!!!! Reasonably efficient seen as he was the only one for a full restaurant. it

We were so pleased we found this restaurant quite by accident in a small back street but we had a sensational lunchtime meal. We arrived before the kitchen had opened so we were shown to a nice table outside in the sun and we had a beer. The whole meal was fabulous (all four courses). the knock out was the beetroot soup with goat cheese, followed by duck with fruit, three kinds of cheese and then a chocolate fondant. We had initially been planning only only having crepes but we were delighted with the menu du jour. The chef and the restaurant owner were really nice and made us feel very welcome. We would highly recommend this place.
