In the old town of Bourbon-Lancy, La Grignotte du vieux Bourbon (3,5,km) offers very simple, typically French cuisine, with
little choice. You can sit either directly in the pedestrian street or in a small courtyard outside.
The restaurant Le Cloître du GrandHôtel (3km) is to be recommended,
or at least must be seen for its dusty fin de siècle elegance.
For a typically French meal, the Restaurant des Sources (3km) in the thermal district of
Bourbon-Lancy.
In addition, Chez Paulette has now opened its doors in BL. We haven't tried it yet, but we've had good
indications.
Les bons vivants, 598 route de l'Ouche, Perigny sur Loire. Charming simple bistro with very good food, run
by a young couple. Open for lunch only, except Saturdays.
For those wishing to have lunch in Moulins (38.5km), a visit to the Grand
Café on Place de l'Allier is a must. It should be noted that it is only possible to eat there at lunchtime and that people wishing to have a coffee must come outside
lunchtimes.
Le Clos de Bourgogne in Moulins comes highly recommended. Very upmarket cuisine and elegant atmosphere.
You can sit outside on a terrace in the park.
La Cuisine d'Hervé has a shaded terrace where you can enjoy lunch or dinner after a visit to the
town.
La bulle d'air, place d'Alliers, Moulins Very good food, sober atmosphere.
New secret:La Peniche in Pierrefitte sur
Alliers ( 20min), located directly on the bancs of the Loire canal, beautiful, modern and comfortable. Very top quality cuisine and
equally high prices. Must be booked in advance.
