Cardigan Restaurant - Brioude

Went there with Friends for lunch.. The lunch menu was great, and the plats de jour was very nice with a choice of starter and a choice of main. Service was friendly and efficient The courses were not rushed and dogs were allowed into the restaurant. This is quite common in France.Loved the ambiance and it was a very popular place at lunch time so booking is best. If you do turn up on spec, then go early, before 12.30Will be going again when next in Brioude.

Menu changes daily as it is used by local people for lunch. The portions are more generous than a lot of French restaurants. You won't come out hungry.

Reserved as lunch time is busy. Sat in the little cave, best place to sit. Greeted and sat by pleasant server. Menu was great but the lunch menus looked great.

There was a hair in my plateA long black hair, definitely not mine not anyone in my table (2 other coworkers).

Selection was limited but excellent We plan to come back We ordered the for gras (good) and raw oyster( good) for starter.
