La Flèche d'Argent

La Flèche d'Argent is the gastronomic restaurant of the 5-star Hôtel Princesse Flore in Royat, housed in a Belle Époque building dating from the late 19th century. Since 2019 the restaurant has been recognised by Gault & Millau with 2 Toques (14/20), and its wine list, selected by the Chef Sommelier, foregrounds regional references and local liqueurs within a curated programme that celebrates nearby vineyards. The dining room is refined and gastronomic, where aesthetic plating and sensory presentation are central to the experience. The kitchen offers a modern cuisine augmented by Mediterranean touches that reflect the chef’s southern roots, and it emphasises short supply chains, textural contrasts and refined dressings. Clément Lorente is the chef. Tasting menus include 4 Temps and 5 Temps; specialties comprise 4- and 5-course menus, dishes highlighting seasonal Auvergne produce, preparations of organic vegetables, Mediterranean aromatics (sarriette, coriander), a cheese trolley and desserts by the pastry chef that provide a full sensory awakening.
