At the foothills of the Pyrénées Atlantiques, near Pau and Jurançon, where Aspe and Ossau Valleys…read morealmost meet, and just outside of Pau you will find the Castel du Pont d'Oly. This hotel restaurant is well known by the gourmands of the region for cooking that is a mixture of local fresh produce cooked with care and beautifully presented. Dishes like foie gras, poule au pot, duck preserve, pibales ( baby eels) in season and in season wild mushrooms picked locally At the foot of the Jurançon vineyards, with just a few rooms around a swimming pool, the hotel has been organised for comfort and somewhat individual in decorative style but both relaxing and inviting. Great wine list and super service with staff who really know the cuisine and will discuss it with you. I stayed here for 4 days and contrary to normal habits ate in the restaurant every night and was never disappointed.

Incroyable!! Le meilleur dîner de ma vie! Le meilleur restaurant de pau!…read moreTous les plats étaient cuits à la perfection! La service - 5/5!!! L'atmosphere est chic et intimate. La sélection de vins est vaste. If you are traveling through Pau, or staying in Pau (which is a highly underrated city, you have to stop by here and try it! Amazing, food, wine, and ambiance. The service was top notch! Each dish we had was cooked to perfection. It was a meal I will not soon forget. A place, where each bite you want to savor, and enjoy. Not a place to rush through. Not sure how many people will check this site for such a small city in France, but needed to spread the joy and love of this restaurant.

Review in English and French…read more This is an incredible little restaurant in Pau. We went there in June 2017 with a friend when visiting (I'm originally from Pau). I hear it's tough to get a reservation for dinner but we were able to reserve for lunch the day of. The menu changes all the time and what we had was absolutely excellent! It's very refined food without the attitude of a very refined restaurant. The staff is approchable and helpful. The wine list is also amazing and people are able to help you choose. We were three and all had appetizer, main course and desert with a bottle of wine. They have a standard menu which offers all three courses or you can pick à la carte if you want something else. The choices are limited, but that's usually a plus in my book when it comes to restaurants (study the Paradox of Choice). Everything we had was complex and excellent and the whole meal ended up costing around 100 euros (including wine). Really not bad for the amount of food you get and the quality of it! Very highly recommended. Petit restaurant exceptionnel avec un rapport qualité/prix imbattable. On y est passé en juin 2017 pendant une visite de Pau et on s'est régalé. Le service est impeccable et la nourriture est aussi bonne qu'elle est complexe. Le vin est aussi au rendez-vous, surtout avec l'aide du sommelier. Le restaurant est assez petit, la deco est marrante et le menu est simple. J'ai pas l'impression que l'on peut faire un mauvais choix! À priori, il y a pas mal d'attente pour faire une réservation le soir, mais on n'a pas eu de problème pour le midi en semaine. Excellente adresse!

Well this place in the heart of Pau is just perfect!!! My bf and I stopped by for a lunch break…read moreduring our road trip through the south of France and agreed this little unassuming stop was by far one of the best dishes we had on our entire trip -- I'd imagine the menu du jour rotates every now and then so do not miss your chance to get the pork dish with delicious pumpkin puree and the roasted nectarine starter. Plus that beautiful view of the Pyrenees and dining al fresco just cannot be beat. This was a perfect quick stop in charming Pau and we cannot wait to be back. Highly recommend if you're looking for a yummy place to break for lunch! Service was so friendly and quick. Love it
