Bistrot de la Butte

Defying the myth that restaurants on a main square are often tourist traps, this exceptional bistro pulls seasonal produce into dishes that feel unrushed, despite fast, friendly service. Whether melt-in-the-mouth beef bourguignon or roast chicken with spiced risotto, you can't go wrong with their daily specials. Bag a window table upstairs and you'll have a VIP view of Clermont's cathedral.
