If you like 1930s architecture, this is the place for you a must! The entrance foyer with its art deco door and staircase are the perfect introduction. The building has been lovingly restored and is very comfortable. The lift is a little small but...it would not be easy to enlarge and anyway, it too is an original. Our room was on the second floor and was spacious and bright with a fantastic view over the Clermont Ferrand. The plumbing in the bathroom was eccentric the tap on the sink did not seem to be attached to anything except the water supply and the shower (which worked well) made a noise as though the fire alarm had gone off! In such a large room, it would have been nice to have two a...
Expected great things from Hotel Radio restaurant but was badly disappointed. The dining room is very pleasant; well lit; comfortable and noise levels were OK even on a busy Monday evening. Staff were helpful, friendly and efficient. Took the 6 course tasting menu which ends...up as 8 or so with the amuses bouches. These were very nice.... The first starter of foie gras pressé with lots of citricy gels/purées was very nice. The next course, scallops with beetroot only tasted of beetroot of different textures and tastes some just cooked; some highly acidic...overall it ruined the scallops which disappeared into the background. The next course fish, St Pierre was not nice either. The fish was...
All in all a disappointing experience! Only one course of the menu tasted like a Michelin star dish; the starter tasted like gurke, but the fish contained seemed not present (why this heavy knife for a foamy dish? and the dessert... was mainly cream with a band of sugar outside dissatisfied and partly unfriendly service (not even wondering if the dish tasted well but often makes noise when the dishes unsuitable recommendation from the sommelier (good: took the bottle back after complaining). In summary, no food was the service we experienced in other Michelin-star restaurants
This is the first restaurant in the area to have received a Michelin star (more than 30 years ago). The place looks amazing retro-chic, the whole building keeping the art deco look. The monthly menu was simply amazing and the chef truly inspired. The service could use a little bit of polish (the glasses were left empty for long periods of time, the sommelier was not the friendliest person...), but all in all it's an experience to have.

We could not dream for a better romantic evening: a warm welcome, a cozy atmosphere, smile, a deep kindness. Thanks to Caroline Mioche and her team, Dominique, Nicolas, Fabrice... for creating this unforgettable moment. It was more than a decade since I was so happy to take the woman I love such a beautiful place. The food was exquisite, the service impeccable and my partner unbelievably raised.
Went here almost on the spur of the moment. It was a great choice. The hotel is in the Art Deco style and the restaurant has a very 1920s feeling. The staff were all lovely - attentive without being pestering. We had the degustation menu and everything on it was extremely good. The highlight though was the cheese trolley - it's enormous and a real geography lesson in French cheese.
The restaurant was welcoming and spacious; the tables being of a nice size and not too close to each other. The service was very smooth. Food wise it is only fair to say that we took the small menu, which was appreciated. but maybe lacking in creativity and originalityl.
When you put your trust in the chef and just take what comes it may seem risky. But this is some chef and the food is divine. And eight course later you be a very happy and very content bunny. We have been several times and will be again in the future.

It was perfect. Service is very good. Food is excellent. You feel like being at home as it is cosy but not snobbish. I really enjoyed this very moment plus they had a special attention for my mum's birthday.
Excellent food. The 5-course menu had perfectly sized portions so we could enjoy every delicious bit without feeling full.
