If you're ever in the heart of Clermont-Ferrand, make sure to stop by Ne Rien Faire, a charming eatery tucked away at 14 Rue du Terrail.

The first thing that strikes you when you walk into Ne Rien Faire is the casual yet stylish vibe. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into the design, blending rustic charm with modern touches. From the warm wooden tables to the soft lighting, every detail has been carefully curated to create a relaxing environment. You won’t feel rushed here; instead, you're encouraged to settle in and take your time, which is exactly what the name suggests-Ne Rien Faire, or "doing nothing," in the best way possible.

The menu is simple but packed with flavors. It’s the kind of place where you can find comfort food, but with a twist. Whether you're in the mood for a fresh salad, a hearty sandwich, or a savory main dish, there’s something for everyone. One standout item is their signature croque-monsieur, which is perfectly toasted and filled with rich, gooey cheese. It's served alongside a side salad that's just the right amount of crispness to balance the indulgent sandwich.

Their drinks menu is just as impressive, offering a selection of locally sourced wines and craft beers that pair beautifully with any dish. If you're a fan of coffee, you're in for a treat. The baristas at Ne Rien Faire know their craft, serving up perfectly brewed cups of coffee, whether you prefer a rich espresso or a frothy cappuccino.

The staff here is another reason to visit. The team at Ne Rien Faire is friendly and attentive, without being intrusive. They make you feel right at home, offering recommendations based on what you're in the mood for, and they're always happy to chat about the day’s specials. If you happen to be a regular, they'll remember your preferences, making the experience feel even more personalized. It's this kind of service that elevates a meal from just good to memorable.

For dessert, don’t skip the homemade tiramisu. It’s a true crowd-pleaser, with layers of rich, creamy filling and just the right amount of coffee flavor to round out the sweetness. It's a perfect end to a meal that leaves you feeling content but not overly stuffed, which is exactly the kind of balance Ne Rien Faire strikes so well.

A great restaurant serving only dishes without meat and all homemade. The owners is a lovely lady, very much feeling like eating at home.

We loved our evening at Ne Faire Rien enjoying homemade vegetarian food! The restaurant is intimate, with simple but quirky decor which suits the building. The lady serving us did so with good humour and attentiveness. It appears as though everything from the service, to the menu is her creation. It felt like we were eating from a home kitchen which added to the personal feel of the place. The food was wonderful. We had a delicious soup entrée that had delicate flavour followed by hearty Pad Thai and a burger that were packed with flavour. Another highlight were the fermented eggs with the Pad Thai. This is a fantastic place for veggies and even those who eat meat will leave Ne Rien Faire satisfied. We can’t wait to come back the next time we visit Clermont Ferrand :)

The lunch was delicious, especially the cake with fresh prunes from the garden, I'd come back just for that!

Quelle cheffe! J'ai eu la joie de passer par ce restaurant pour goûter à un plat végétarien à Clermont Ferrand. Le "Ne Rien Faire" réussi avec sa simplicité à faire ce qu'on recherche... toucher le cœur. On se sent tout de suite à l'aise dès que l'on s'assoit, la Cheffe amène sa partition, ce sera végétal, végétarien. Ce sera une tarte aux épinards cuisinée à la perfection, une tarte rhubarbe fraise faite avec soin. On sent l'envie de bien faire et c'est une joie gustative de bout en bout. Un très grand merci pour votre engagement Madame, vous méritez qu'on vous le dise chaque jour. Je vous souhaite autant de bonheur que celui que vous m'avez servi ce vendredi. Merci pour votre superbe cuisine très inspirante. Courtoisement.

Nous y avons dîné ce soir et avons passé un excellent moment. Un accueil chaleureux et souriant, une carte courte qui garantit la fraîcheur des produits et la cuisine faite maison et une ambiance cosy. Et le bonheur continue dans l'assiette, tout est savoureux, bien pensé, beau et appétissant. Merci beaucoup de nous avoir fait passer une si belle soirée !

Tout simplement parfait de l’entrée au dessert. Une cuisine juste et généreuse, un délice, en plus tout est frais. Cerise sur le gâteau : la restauratrice (très sympathique) nous a indiqué que les légumes venaient de son jardin. Nous avons passé une excellente soirée, je recommande fortement.
