Eliotel - Peschadoires

This really wonderful restaurant is in a small town next to Thiers and about 10 minutes or less from the autoroute. After Clermont Ferrand and well before St.Etienne, we stop off here every year (a trip we normally make twice a year) while heading south. Lunch time meals are terrific and served in a beautifully renovated restaurant that includes a large outdoor terrace for good weather. Everything we've ever eaten here has been very good. As usual, we almost always take a plat or menu du jour. This time we ate for 49 Euros, which included a glass of wine for me and dessert. If you should be near here at lunch time, it's well worth driving off the autoroute to eat at Eliotel. You will NOT regret making the small detour!

Still, we think, an impressive work in progress, this three part hotel restaurant part classically styled, part lighter and brighter and part outside under parasols proved a delight when we visited for dinner. Select the area that suits your mood. It's frequented by hotel visitors and locals alike which suggests it's of good quality and acceptably priced. We found the service excellent but not overpowering, the food unusual enough to be interesting and the portions on the right side of adequate. Overall a lovely ambience. Pink Palace? You'll work it out when you get there!

We have been here before 2 years ago. This restaurant belongs to the Hotel Ecotel in Peschadoires. We stayed here 3 nights on our way to the south of France. We had dinner here every night of our stay and it was all great! I can recommend this place, both the restaurant and the hotel! Very friendly service.

French traditional and local food nicely served : ham delicatessen, beef, cheese, mushrooms... Auvergne wine is less remarkable.

To recommend! everything was perfect reception, room, cleanliness, etc.... and breakfast at will.
