30/11/2024: Very friendly staff, excellent home-cooked food! A very good time

16/09/2024: Lack of staff and therefore Long wait to be served before during and after each dish. Lack of knowledge of the wines by the waitress, cannot name the grape varieties. Well presented dishes, a beautiful visual but lacking in flavors. Air conditioning too low, which is unpleasant. After two positive experiences two years ago, disappointed this time.

03/09/2024: I regularly visit this restaurant for lunch alone or as a couple. I have, on several occasions, observed that the "regular" customer is treated with more consideration than the occasional customer, both in the speed of order taking and in the service. Today, during a particularly long service where the customer I was had been impatiently waiting for his dish for quite a long time, I noticed that two people sat down at the table and were served instantly. I expressed my astonishment to the waiter, whose only argument was to tell me that these people were members of management and that they were in a hurry. Implied that I wasn't! The response is astounding as the status granted to regulars. It's a shame because the lunch menu offered by this establishment is varied and of high quality.

12/06/2025: First experience at Pilota (and the last) This is the first time I've sent a dish back to the kitchen twice in a row. €23 for a duck breast: the first was tiny (the height of irony for a restaurant that serves the Pau section: a rugby player would frown at such a small breast) and overcooked (confirmed by a waitress who was apologetic). The second breast was ice cold... The meat wasn't very good quality and wasn't tender. The third breast was well cooked but the taste wasn't there. When it came time to pay, there was no goodwill gesture, and the server assured me that the first was well cooked (which is completely false). I even got a "everything went well, except for the breast?" No excuse. The second server even offered to show me the first duck breast again to prove it was indeed rare (FYI, when the meat isn't rare but gray throughout, it's not rare). I regret going to a restaurant to eat an expensive dish that would have been tastier and much cheaper at home... The blue cheese sauce was made with partially melted, rubbery cheese. The only positive: the fries were good.

29/05/2025: A very good meal and a very pleasant welcome. A responsive team and refined cuisine. I recommend it without hesitation.
