Arraditz sur Lescar

We received a very warm welcome. The meal was excellent. We had a wonderful time. I highly recommend it.

It's understandable that, as a foreigner in a local restaurant, the predominant language is French, but given that it's a restaurant of this style with a tasting menu and explanations at each course, it wouldn't hurt to have someone who could explain the dishes, at least in English, for foreign diners. We communicated as best we could, and a very kind waitress did her best to explain the dishes to us in English when she served them. We ordered the tasting menu, and the service was a bit slow for our liking. Our reservation was for 1:15, and it wasn't until 1:40 that they approached us to ask which menu we would choose. The intervals between courses were also rather long. The first dishes, featuring tomatoes, were delicious. I loved the white wine from Juraçon. My favorites from the tasting menu were the pineapple dessert and an appetizer served in a small glass. I couldn't quite figure out what it was because we didn't understand the explanation, but it was very tasty.

Excellent food and good advice on what to eat with the dishes.

A feast for the eyes, a delight for the palate, a pure pleasure with every visit. Thank you for sharing your inventiveness and passion with us. For me, it's one of the best restaurants in Béarn. Wishing you both and your team continued success.

We had a wonderful time as a family. The welcome was very warm (even for our two dogs) and the service impeccable. The dishes allowed us to rediscover our beautiful local cuisine with exquisite finesse. I highly recommend it.

Gourmet restaurant tasting menu, we enjoyed ourselves from beginning to end, a special mention for the fish, thank you for this culinary delight.

A restaurant that truly deserves its star What a magnificent discovery the Arraditz restaurant in Lescar was! We had a remarkable dinner, from the moment we arrived until the very last moment. The service was impeccable, attentive without ever being intrusive, and the setting is superb: a beautiful old building completely redesigned in a contemporary, elegant, and refined style. We immediately felt at ease. But of course, it's on the plate that the experience truly comes into its own. Refined, precise cuisine, generous in flavor, and, in my opinion, truly worthy of a Michelin star. The foie gras with its smoked sangria jelly is simply divine. An original combination, perfectly executed and bursting with flavor. The redfish, served with its bisque and rouille, also particularly impressed me: powerful yet perfectly balanced flavors, impeccable cooking, and a beautifully delicate presentation. And what can I say about the duck! Excellent, accompanied by this small cereal with its sun-kissed notes, then complemented by a duck leg cromesquis with its mousseline… Once again, a tremendous amount of work, technique, and above all, exquisite flavor. The pineapple-based pre-dessert then provided a lovely freshness before the meal concluded. We also had the pleasure of exchanging a few words with Chef Olivier Nicolau at the end of dinner. A very approachable, friendly, and passionate chef. He is regularly recognized in pâté en croûte competitions, and unfortunately, I wasn't able to taste his this time as it was no longer in season. An excellent reason to return as soon as it's back on the menu! I had already lamented the lack of a Michelin-starred restaurant in Pau and its immediate surroundings. After this dinner, I'll say it again: Arraditz truly deserves that star. And I'm not just saying that to hand out stars to everyone! But when you find the same quality of ingredients, precise cooking, refined presentation, creativity, service, and consistency throughout the meal, you realize that the award is truly well-deserved. A truly wonderful restaurant, an excellent dinner, and a place we will gladly return to. And next time, I certainly hope to try their famous pâté en croûte!

A creative chef's table, combining beauty, space, tranquility, and quality service with modern regional cuisine. A truly delightful experience.

We loved this restaurant; its Michelin star is no surprise. Everything was perfect from start to finish. The menu was just right, and the quality of the food and the combination of flavors were sublime. We'll definitely be back.
