The story
Chez Ernest in Murat serves straightforward bistro food that honors its regional roots. Chris Wright moved here from Manchester after closing his previous restaurant near Dienne. His kitchen focuses on hearty Auvergne inn fare built around the choicest local produce. Guests consistently return for the unpretentious meals.
The menu shifts daily depending on what arrives fresh from surrounding farms. A short card highlights natural wines sourced from nearby departments alongside regional craft beers. This focused approach defines the modern bistro offering. Every dish reflects a commitment to honest preparation.
Old school floor tiles and wood paneled walls create an austere backdrop for the service. Ernest, a resident sheepdog, often keeps watch from the entrance while diners settle in. Visitors arrive after a day outside and stay for the generous portions. The quiet valley location rewards those who seek it out.
