Aux 500 Diables Auberge de montagne

Great lunch_The menu du jour offered good choices In addition there is a la carte In Both cases there are French classics and Auvergne specialties.

Decor is is modern alpine Tables not crowded together Menu for lunch offered 3 options for each course . The presentation of each course was delightful The execution was flawless and the results full flavouredThe restaurant seems to combine regional specialties and French classics in a great way. The wine list is good and not overwhelming and the house wine quite acceptableThe service was very good

Very nice place to eat and to stay. Astonishing view and excellent place to start for hiking. highly recommended

Pros: Quite countryside location. Picturesque route to hotel through Massif du Sancy with friendly cows coming to you from hills if you make a stop. Free WiFi (not so stable though) & parking. Restaurant. Communicative staff.Cons: Really difficult to find! But the guy from hotel restaurant helped us find the way. Check out at 10AM (on booking.com it's 10-11AM)! Room is rather small, difficult to unpack luggage. No privacy in shower; its just in room with no door. Room isolation: doors are clacking, metal stairs make noise. Typical french breakfast was rather carbohydrate for me especially after evening meal with saucisson, jambon and egg..Hotel restaurant works till last guest (seems it's quite popular among locals) and provides quite good local food (which is quite heavy for me) and wine.

I had diner with my collegues and the food was good. It is auvergne cuisine, good but not too refined Very nice setting and very good service
