Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française en Pau

07/06/2026: Excellent restaurant at reasonable prices for the quality and freshness of the products.

05/06/2026: Imaginative and surprising dishes

31/07/2026: Impressive from start to finish. Without a doubt, a truly 5-star place. Starter: We ordered the foie gras and it was, without exaggeration, the best we've ever had. Main course: The Canard Rossini is a must-order, a true marvel of flavor and texture. Grilled meat: The meat was perfect, but the potatoes, served as tartare, were simply amazing. Dessert: The crème brûlée was excellent and the perfect ending to the meal. The quality of the food and the service make for a perfect 10/10 experience. We'll definitely be back! Something that's often overlooked, the staff's service was 10/10—friendly and incredibly kind.

26/07/2026: Honestly, we went to this restaurant with a friend to see what it was like because we love meat and duck. We weren't disappointed; the portions were really generous, the meat was delicious, and the duck was excellent (yes, we each ordered two dishes because we're big eaters 😅). And honestly, for four of us, with a bottle of wine and two beers each as an aperitif, along with a charcuterie and cheese platter, we paid the equivalent of €50 per person. For the experience and the quality, it's fantastic value for money. The manager is very friendly and accommodating, and the young waitress and waiter are very kind, polite, and attentive. We highly recommend it!

18/07/2026: Great coffee shop. Bright, great kids' corner, good coffee. Desserts are standard. Great atmosphere. I recommend

04/07/2026: The iced maple latte was very good, and so was the brownie. Thanks again for the warm welcome!

03/08/2026: Another great time in a lovely setting with fantastic staff and delicious food 😋

03/08/2026: A very good waiter and a very good time spent, slightly marred by the efficiency at the bar.

20/07/2026: A must-visit if you're in Pau. Fantastic food, a wonderful atmosphere throughout the center, and superb service.

12/07/2026: Fantastic new restaurant. The cuisine was sophisticated and delicious! We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back!

26/07/2026: We came for lunch following a Petit Futé recommendation, and let me tell you, the review doesn't do justice to the quality of the food! Creative and delicious, we loved it! Top-notch service, and the value for money is incredible.

20/07/2026: A delicious lunch break on Sunday. This restaurant was a very pleasant surprise. An excellent set menu for €23. I also really enjoyed the non-alcoholic beer. It was very nice to be able to enjoy a real beer when you have to get back on the road.

19/06/2026: I strongly advise against this restaurant! It had no flavor, and the cheese was tiny for a roasted Camembert. The service was very poor; I understand why it was empty! Avoid it at all costs!

10/06/2026: Excellent place, I've been several times and it's always very good, generous portions, and affordable. The service is always excellent. The facade is currently being renovated, but I called and they confirmed it was open, and I wasn't disappointed.

18/07/2026: Banana crepe with chocolate and whipped cream. Very light and delicious. The banana was just a little bitter, but I recommend it!

12/07/2026: Exceptional. Magnificent view without breaking the bank. Crepes, salads, a few grilled dishes. Excellent vegetables on the side!

29/07/2026: We discovered this restaurant during a previous stay in Pau three years ago. We were happy to stop by again on a Saturday at lunchtime. Prices have increased considerably in three years, but so has everything else (thanks to inflation!). We had the set menu (starter/main/dessert) for €22. Individual dishes are around €20 (€19 for a homemade burger and fries). The children's menu is €12 and includes crispy chicken and fries, and a scoop of ice cream or panna cotta. The servers were pleasant, although the service seemed a little slow. However, the quality of the food is still excellent; the dishes are delicious and beautifully presented. We had a lovely time.

29/07/2026: Very good, the dishes were presented in an original way. Located near the castle.

06/05/2026: Superb cuisine, always perfectly executed...I absolutely love it! It had been so long since I'd been back...what a waste of time ;) For me, one of the best restaurants in Pau.

25/04/2026: My review has changed slightly since it doesn't directly concern the restaurant on Rue Valéry Meunier, but rather the fact that they came to La Forge Moderne last night. They offered several small dishes for €6, which were very varied and suitable for all dietary needs. These dishes were very good; I tried two: the ravioli and the tart. The service was quick; I think everything was already prepared or nearly so. My friend ordered the taloa and the chocolate cake, which also looked delicious. Furthermore, I found the restaurant owners to be very friendly. :) It would be great if you came back!

19/07/2026: Delicious everything from the foie gras appetizer to the chocolate and cherry cake for dessert, not forgetting the perfectly cooked duck. Moreover, the value for money is excellent.

18/07/2026: Excellent restaurant, warm and professional welcome, superb cuisine. We will definitely return.

23/07/2026: Nicolas and his team are fantastic. They allowed me, as a witness, to organize a bachelorette party at their restaurant. A very friendly atmosphere, exceptional team. We had a wonderful time, everything was perfect. Thank you again!

23/07/2026: Nicolas and his team are fantastic. As a bridesmaid, I was able to organize a bachelorette party at their restaurant. Everything was perfect. I highly recommend them!

20/04/2026: I love having lunch at this organic and local restaurant right next to the Melies cinema! It's original, delicious, and cooked fresh... and for film buffs, at lunchtime you can add a Melies cinema ticket for €4 to the daily menu. Fantastic!

01/04/2026: A real treat! A vegan restaurant, so vegetarian! The quality and freshness made me leave feeling satisfied. Perfect for inviting a meat-eater without feeling limited in terms of choice or quality.

11/07/2026: Exceptional dishes, I've rarely been so impressed by everything I've eaten! Accompanied by amazing recommended wines and served by a top-notch team. Bravo and thank you! And ALV!!

28/06/2026: An unusual restaurant. But a genuine welcome. The wine and food pairing recommendations were much appreciated.

30/06/2026: I had heard many compliments about the Brasserie d'Orléans from colleagues. We had lunch there with other colleagues, and I must say that my impression has been mixed ever since. I ordered beef tartare with homemade fries. The tartare was very sinewy and served flattened across the entire plate, without any shape. In fact, I practically had to put half of it aside because of the sinew. It was very vinegary and spicy. The homemade fries were delicious, as was the homemade sauce. The Dame Blanche (vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce) was absolutely divine, and the coffee was also very high quality. The champagne was served in a tiny glass, which was a bit surprising at first. The waitress was very pleasant and efficient in serving us and relaying any issues (with the tartare) to the chef.

10/06/2026: This restaurant truly demonstrates that French cuisine is an art. If you want your taste buds to explode, don't hesitate to visit this establishment. A delight! Both the owner and his staff will take care of you with simplicity and professionalism. Absolutely fantastic! And above all, thank you for the wonderful meal! 🙏🙏
