    • L'ESBERIT, A FINE HOME FOR GOURMET CUISINE NEAR PAU

      The awake, the curious, or the joyful, "l'Esberit" in Occitan is a call to the discovery and tasting of an elegant cuisine, in the heart of a magnificent 17th century Béarnaise building. Located 5 minutes from the city center of Pau, Chef Nicolas Lormeau and his team are happy to offer you a delicious culinary journey where gluttony is the priority.


      L'Esberit, refined cuisine to be enjoyed at the gates of Pau

      Having fallen into the kitchen pot as a child, Nicolas Lormeau is a talented and creative chef who draws inspiration from the land to create fine and gourmet dishes. Accuracy, balance and subtlety, the main ingredients of his cuisine are sprinkled with a touch of audacity that delights your palates, through revisited and personalized family recipes. Promoting his land, the chef places Béarnese products at the heart of his plates, respecting the taste, flavors and freshness of each element. The esberit menu offered at lunch offers a great discovery of his world, complemented by a takeaway menu on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday lunchtime. Let yourself be surprised by innovative flavors with a blind-served confidence menu. Imagined as an exceptional tasting, dinner is a unique taste moment that awakens all the senses, like a sweet candy that settles on your palate.


      L'Esberit, a warm and welcoming house just a stone's throw from Pau city centre

      An intimate and cozy atmosphere envelops you in the heart of this magnificent stone residence decorated with beautiful high ceilings, warm materials and herringbone parquet flooring. Transformed into a restaurant, the rooms retain their old-world charm with beautiful fireplaces, contemporary paintings, frescoes and old mirrors, offering you a cozy space to settle in. Upstairs, two small lounges allow the gathering of friends, family or colleagues who are looking for a quiet and private place to meet. The terrace shaded by a century-old oak tree perfectly completes the magnificent picture of the Esberit which is revealed in a bucolic setting, a place where you feel good, like at home.


      • The little extra? The possibility of offering Esberit with personalized boxes. Find this information as well as the takeaway menus on the website.

    We were quite let down by our experience, some aspects in the service were not where they should be. Overall the food was good but heavy. The andouillette amuse bouche was very fatty, the lobster accra was oversized yet lacked flavor. The main dish (pigeon) was enjoyable, the meat was cooked well and quite juicy. There were not many vegetables or greens in the dishes though, they were mostly all composed of meat/egg/foams. We chose to skip the cheese cart, and instead get an extra dessert (3 total). The desserts were enjoyable, even after the surprise of having Girolles mushrooms in one of them. There's a significant number of flies in the dining area and the kitchen, yet the staff literally brushes them away, and they land on their open cheese cart. At some point in the meal, they brought us a pitcher with a stink bug on it, and when we pointed it out, it was summarily brushed to the floor.

    Wunderful restaurant, highly recommended. They offer a great menu for lunch on Thursday and Friday for only 19 euro which is amazing value for money. Very friendly service, good wines and nice terrace overlooking a church.
