Restaurant Anne & Matthieu Omont - Hôtel de France

Hôtel de France Montmarault is a family-run hotel-restaurant housed in a former monastery and managed by the Omont family since 1991. The house holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand for quality-driven, value-focused gastronomy and presents a selection of set menus that change with the seasons. Its wine list highlights French terroirs with particular emphasis on the local Saint-Pourçain appellation. The restaurant occupies a historic, characterful building and offers a warm, convivial and welcoming atmosphere for lunch and dinner, blending regional charm with a comfortable, refined dining room. Cuisine is contemporary French, house-made and seasonally driven, with a strong farm-to-table approach that highlights Bourbonnais products and short-circuit sourcing. The cooking is respectful of ingredients and designed to showcase terroir identity while evolving with the seasons. Chef Matthieu Omont leads the kitchen, having joined in 2004, and is a member of the Toques d’Auvergne. Specialities include Volaille Bourbonnaise, veal baked in a salt crust (veau en croûte de sel), Bœuf Charolais, Guilvinec langoustines and Saint-Jacques from Erquy, alongside house-made pastries, sorbets and ice creams.
