24/01/2026: Restaurant in the center of Pau. Friendly welcome, quick and efficient service. Reasonable prices. A must-try.

18/01/2026: We appreciated the warm welcome and the friendliness of the waiter. The dishes were generous and delicious. We hadn't made a reservation, but we still managed to get a small table for two. Next time we'll make a reservation.

10/12/2025: We received a very warm welcome and were served promptly. The food was delicious and the ingredients were high quality. The duck was cooked to perfection. The desserts were also very good. To those who complain about the limited menu: I see it as a sign of quality, and there's still plenty of choice. The atmosphere was very pleasant and the decor was lovely. The best restaurant I've been to in Pau. Thank you!

08/12/2025: This is a wonderful discovery! The duck breast is certainly one of the best in Pau! Served by very pleasant and smiling staff in a most welcoming setting.

28/12/2025: ✨ An unforgettable gastronomic experience in Pau ✨ The Dauphin restaurant, located in the beautiful village of Pau, is simply spectacular. A luxurious setting with refined cuisine and impeccable service. As I am allergic to seafood, the team was extremely attentive and professional: they gave me excellent advice and took great care of every detail to ensure I felt safe and completely at ease. My partner was able to enjoy the seafood and was delighted. The duck breast, recommended by the restaurant, was exceptional: flavor, texture, and presentation worthy of a fine dining establishment. And the desserts… wordsless, a true delight. It was my first visit to this restaurant, but certainly not the last. Both the set menus and the à la carte options are excellent, featuring high-quality ingredients and delicately prepared cuisine. A highly recommended address for those seeking a unique gastronomic experience in a magnificent setting. 🌟 We will be back very soon 🌟

28/12/2025: We had a wonderful time at Le Dauphin. The setting is lovely, the service is attentive, and the food is excellent. A must-try in Pau 😄

22/01/2026: The food was delicious! Perfect service from start to finish. Thank you to the whole team!

22/01/2026: Last night, I dined at this restaurant on a recommendation. The welcome, the service, and my meal were simply perfect. The steak was tender and cooked to perfection. My only criticism would be the soundproofing of the restaurant. Later, when it got quite busy, the noise level increased disproportionately. Everyone has to decide for themselves. I found it uncomfortably loud. Nevertheless, this restaurant comes highly recommended and is worth every penny.

27/01/2026: I recently discovered this restaurant. It has a classic French brasserie atmosphere 😊 Whether with colleagues or family, we're never disappointed, whether it's the food, the ambiance, or the professionalism of the servers. The brasserie atmosphere is very friendly, and the menu is extensive. The dishes are simple but of excellent quality. There's something for every budget, and it's very reasonably priced considering the generous portions—everything is homemade! You can book online and specify your reservation preferences. I highly recommend this café/restaurant 🤗

24/01/2026: Excellent place to eat very well, with a pleasant and attentive team.

20/01/2026: A very nice café for a quiet lunch, with original, delicious menus and reasonable prices.

20/01/2026: A must-see for me, my regular spot for my sailor's coffee 🤩 The food is great there for lunch too!

10/12/2025: A fantastic time at Le Canard Royal, excellent food, never disappointed! We were served by Jonathan: very friendly, attentive, and with a great sense of humor, which makes you want to come back.

26/11/2025: The staff are very attentive, the food is excellent, all the products cooked are fresh and of high quality, to be consumed without moderation.

31/01/2026: It's more of a gourmet experience. Expensive for dishes that are beautiful and tasty, but there are a lot of "buts." The welcome was cold, the atmosphere cold; you even feel like you're being spied on. The dishes, when you walk into a so-called gourmet restaurant and pay €79 for the three-course meal, are disappointing. The pairings aren't up to par, and the aperitifs are served late, so you end up drinking your spritz with the hors d'oeuvres. It's too much of a struggle to find alternatives for allergies that were already mentioned when we made the reservation. And we're still waiting for our coffee, which must have been charged when we did the math back at the car... what a shame.

06/01/2026: Unfortunately, we didn't have the same experience as the previous reviewers. After a somewhat hesitant welcome, we waited an hour and fifteen minutes to be served. The dishes looked beautiful, but mine arrived cold while my wife's (scallops) was hot. After being taken to the kitchen, mine came back lukewarm, but my wife had already finished hers because they didn't take both dishes back. The rest of my meal followed the same pattern: lukewarm. After speaking with the waiter, it seemed they were overwhelmed. The wines were offered to us as a gesture of goodwill. The experience was ruined. We were staying three nights at the 5-star hotel and had planned to eat there in the evenings. The first night was a complete disaster, leading us to discover some good restaurants in the nearby town.

22/11/2025: The brunches there are very good!

11/11/2025: A super welcoming atmosphere and a charming place to relax with a drink and a book, for example. Warm welcome. I highly recommend it. ☕️🌰🍵🍪🫖🥄

03/01/2026: We booked for a birthday celebration; it was our first time there. The manager gave us a wonderful welcome; she was very friendly and lovely. The meal was excellent, especially the hake with risotto! We will gladly return.

22/11/2025: Good meal, very warm welcome, fresh produce. I'm taking off one star because I came 4 years ago and I still find the food lacks consistency. A shame.

26/11/2025: We received a very warm welcome and the food was delicious! 🙂 Thank you so much! ✨️ Remember to book!

12/11/2025: Excellent service, even though the restaurant is tiny and unassuming. The lady gave us great advice, and the galettes were delicious! My daughter is allergic to gluten and sugar, so we were able to adapt her meal without any problem. The beer with cider 😬, I highly recommend it.

04/02/2026: The unmissable restaurant in Pau. A must-try.

03/02/2026: Good wholesome food. Friendly efficient staff. Get there early.......

14/01/2026: Excellent meal! The cooking and seasoning were perfect. Delicious, we'll gladly return!

14/01/2026: The food and service were excellent for the reasonable price... The decor is a bit dated; the planks surrounding the column would be more at home in a chalet, and the fireplace deserves to be highlighted... all of this contributes to the ambiance... it's up to you to decide...

14/09/2024: Absolute Empfehlung! Sehr leckeres frisches Essen - die Zutaten werden auf ungewöhnliche aber gelungene Weise kombiniert. Sehr aufmerksamer und unkomplizierter Service - gute Weinkarte. Am besten hat uns die Vorspeise Taboule geschmeckt.

04/09/2024: Excellente table Très bonne entrée à base de figues avec un sorbet au fromage de chèvre. Le thon mi-cuit avec ragoût de coco est excellent. Le dessert à base de verveine est surprenant. Service très sympathique A conseiller sans modération

20/01/2026: All the staff were very professional, and the welcome was pleasant.

13/01/2026: A must for fans seeking authenticity, this brasserie's menu is serious. A victim of its own success, you'll need to book ahead to experience the excellent cuisine here.
