Where Quercy, Rouergue and the Auvergne Mountains meet, gastronomy and hospitality are the watchwords! The Auberge de la Tour in Cantal is a perfect example.
Chef Renaud Darmanin invites you to experience his starred restaurant in Marcolès. His fine-dining cooking is full of flavour, always creative, and presented to make your mouth water! Fresh seasonal products, local flavours and an exotic touch fill the dining room with fragrance, wafting out to the terrace by the fountain in the summer. Come and taste delicious dishes, including his "truffade en charlotte"... an elegantly presented, fine-dining re-invention of the traditional Cantal recipe.
Our starred restaurant in the Cantal is open from Tuesday to Saturday.
