Clermont-Ferrand


This minimalist cafe facing Clermont-Ferrand's covered market specialises in all things organic, whipping up seasonal soups, roasted veggie dishes and a pleasing array of cakes (some vegan-friendly or gluten-free). Whether you’re nibbling their fresh apple fondant over oolong or rooibos tea, or staying for lunch, it’s a calming space to escape the market bustle.
