Le Relais De Sennecterre

I owe Max, the fellow who took my payment at Le Relais de Sennecterre, a postcard. Let me explain. Our French family members had taken us Canadian tourists to Saint Nectaire for a day trip from Clermont Ferrand. Let me stress immediately that if you are planning to do such a trip, brace yourself for some beautiful scenery on the way there and back! It was last October and I think just after the height of tourist season when we arrived high on a hilltop, near a centuries old church, and at a table of Le Relais de Sennecterre. We stopped there for a light lunch and a drink of beer. The sun was shining and the temperature comfortable, so we sat on the patio which fronts this restaurant. Our server was friendly and had no trouble understanding our English and my not so terrific French. I always try to speak French when in France. We were a foursome and we shared to meat and cheese plates, washing the food down with glasses of beer. The setting was splendid and this restaurant appeared to be popular judging by the number of other patrons there. The food was good, the beer slaked out thirst and the prices reasonable. If we ever get back to Saint Nectaire, we would stop and eat here again. I went inside the restaurant, where they have more dining tables, a small giftl/souvenir shop and upstairs their toilet facility is spotless. I paid a fellow called Max for our food and drink and bought a deck of cards as a souvenir. As we chatted, I promised I would send him a postcard from Canada. Watch your mailbox Max!

I 've been coming to this area most years for a decade now. I always spend at least a few beers in this place. The lower part of St Nectar might be busier but for a relaxing beer sat by the church this place cannot be bettered. It 's always been very friendly. It 's under new ownership since my previous visit and I say that the friendly nature has improved. The food is very nice too. Typical Auvergne food, but done better than the sometimes mediocre tourist food you sometimes have. Don 't plan on eating much after having their Salers and Trufade together though! Seriously yummy!

Somehow, we got lost in translation. Food was declined, not sure why, although those arriving after us were served food. Lunch service 12 til 3pm. Food looked delicious and ample portions.
