Salers is a beautiful, if touristy town. It has many restaurants, but if you are looking for something other than the Auvergne staples of pancakes, truffade and ham the field is a lot narrower. Having checked over the menu, L'Evasion looked like it could offer something different. The set menu was slightly over 20 euros - more expensive than the competition, but more interesting.

This was probably not a fair test as the visit was lunch for about 50 people. The service was excellent especially considering the size of the group.We had an amuse, a choice of starters, a nice lamb dish for the main & a nice dessert with homemade sorbet.
