The story
Between the Lac du Guéry and the town of Mont-Dore, Auberge La Golmotte sits in a quiet hamlet called Le Barbier. Here, Annette and Christophe run a restaurant that is as warm as it is serious about food. The décor is rustic, with a refined mountain touch – the kind of place where you feel at ease the moment you step in.
The cuisine is traditional and carefully executed. Annette and Christophe cook everything from scratch, drawing on classic French repertoire: veal sweetbreads, foie gras, scallops when in season, beef fillet, and braised pork cheek. Desserts are also made in-house. This commitment to homemade, quality cooking has earned the restaurant a spot in the Michelin guide as a Recommended address – a straightforward nod to the consistent skill and honest flavours found here.
Lunch is served from 12:00 to 13:15, dinner from 19:00 to 20:00. The restaurant is closed Sunday evenings, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, and does not accept pets. Reservations are recommended and taken by phone only. For parties of eight or more, a single menu must be chosen in advance. The property is accessible for guests with reduced mobility, with a ramp and adapted toilets.
For those seeking a genuine, unfussy meal in the Auvergne, La Golmotte is a reliable and welcoming stop.
