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.

Made with good, fresh ingredients and generous portions. Very good value for money. Plus, the staff are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

03/05/2026: My review concerns the new Henri IV since its reopening in October. We were used to coming as a family until now and wanted to see what the new owners had created. Inside, the decor is more refined; the kitschy, easily recognizable portraits of dear Henri IV are gone, and it's brighter. As for the menu, we were used to the garbure (a hearty vegetable and meat stew) and were therefore a little disappointed that it wasn't on the menu, but we quickly forgot this detail because the meal was delicious from start to finish. For my starter, I had asparagus, which was very good; the Parmesan cheese added a real touch of something special. For my main course, I had the lasagna, which was extremely good, fragrant, with a multitude of flavors. Finally, homemade tiramisu for dessert, which was just as good! In short, I loved it, but I hope the restaurant manages to stand out because it's not the only one offering dishes with local ingredients, but without the little touch of the old Henri IV and its rustic dishes.

27/04/2026: A fantastic discovery! Go for it!

31/05/2026: Invited to friends' house to enjoy tapas and a superb paella (excellent!), followed by a to-die-for chocolate fondant for dessert. I highly recommend this restaurant.

13/05/2026: The meal was very good, their baby squid were excellent, the service was adequate considering there were a lot of people, the waitress and the cashier were very friendly…

08/07/2026: Excellent restaurant with a great welcome and service :)

06/07/2026: They have a very complete set menu for €17, including dessert and tea, and I found the value for money to be excellent. The restaurant is pleasant and the food is well-prepared. We tried hummus, tabbouleh, and moussaka as starters, and a lamb shawarma as a main course. Everything was delicious, especially the lamb. The only problem was the wait time. Almost an hour passed between the first and second courses, even though the restaurant wasn't particularly busy. I understand that some dishes may require more preparation time, but in those cases, the proper thing to do is to come to the table, inform us of the delay, and apologize. A simple explanation, such as that they were finishing preparing the lamb, would have been sufficient. On the plus side, when I mentioned the situation to the waiter, he made a thoughtful gesture that we greatly appreciated: he offered us a pistachio and honey cake as compensation for the wait and apologized very kindly. This gesture demonstrates professionalism and was much appreciated. However, there was one detail that marred the experience. The manager, who was at a nearby table, made a comment in French about Spaniards and their supposed lack of patience. I understand a little French, and I found it a very unfortunate and inappropriate remark. Customers deserve respect, regardless of their nationality, and these kinds of comments shouldn't be made, especially when the wait has been objectively long. In short, the food was worth it, and the waiter acted impeccably, but it would be important to improve the management of wait times and communication with customers, as well as to be more mindful of the attitude and comments of the staff in charge. Anyone can have a bad day.

05/06/2026: What a delight! A truly French restaurant combining quality and expertise. Everything is perfect, from the service to the food.

25/05/2026: I highly recommend it!! It was truly excellent! High-quality products, very well prepared... The atmosphere is cozy with a lovely terrace in a quiet neighborhood

19/06/2026: End-of-year meal for our vocal group at this lovely establishment. The welcome, staff, and food were top-notch!

18/06/2026: The staff are attentive, and so is the owner! Also! Ideal for business lunches

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!
