Lard Et la Maniere

About

Lard Et la Manière is a charming French bistro tucked just steps from Clermont‑Ferrand’s historic Place de Jaude. Established in 2015, the restaurant’s culinary philosophy blends simple market ingredients with bold, creative flavours under the guidance of chef Rodolphe Frion, a champion of pâté‑croûte. The menu changes with the seasons, offering a thoughtfully crafted lunchtime selection that keeps pace with the city’s tight budgets, while the dinner roster showcases richly prepared dishes such as magret de canard, truffade aux cèpes, and a selection of regional cheeses and desserts. Wine lovers will appreciate the curated list of both local and international bottles, hand‑picked to complement the menu’s bold yet balanced characters. Inside, an architecturally sleek, vintage‑style décor creates an intimate, convivial atmosphere that encourages conversation alike to a friendly gathering. An outdoor terrace extends the dining experience when the weather permits, making Lard Et la Manière a delightful stop for locals and visitors looking to savour contemporary French cuisine in a relaxed setting.
