Jean-Claude Leclerc

Rather than a summons to a hearing, this restaurant near the courthouse extends an invitation to foodies! For over twenty years, Jean-Claude Leclerc has been behind this very popular Clermont-Ferrand hideaway. In an elegant contemporary setting, the chef woos us with his new spin on time-honoured Gallic recipes in keeping with the seasons. In a masterclass of balance and skilful execution overflowing with flavour, you might taste dishes such as pig’s trotters and foie gras wrapped in bacon and underscored by truffle dressing or sole, crab meat, cockles, lemon confit and bouillabaisse jus.
