L’Aubalade A local and creative cuisine inspired by the Béarn region in the heart of Pau

L'Aubalade, a 100% local restaurant where you can take your time in the heart of Pau

A short stroll through the center of Pau will take you to 10 rue Tran, a discreet yet elegant address that beckons you inside. Behind its charming exposed stone facade, the allure continues with its unique design, lending a distinctive character to this intimate restaurant. While L'Aubalade captivates with its warm atmosphere, it truly delights diners with its creative, convivial, and homemade local cuisine, prepared by the complementary duo of Pierre and Valentine.

A sincere cuisine paying homage to the region

At L'Aubalade, it's the producers and the seasons that dictate the creativity of the dishes. Every ingredient, meticulously prepared down to the smallest flower, is the result of a genuine quest for freshness and quality, sourced through a short supply chain to offer a 100% local tasting experience. Fruits, vegetables, meats, breads, and cheeses are all local gems transformed into "discovery" or "pleasure" portions, ideal for a delightful culinary journey. The names of the dishes pique the curiosity, such as Pyrenees trout, foie gras from Ferme Hondet, or sea bass from our coast, promising a unique culinary experience with the flavors of Béarn. The drinks menu is also the result of a focus on local ingredients. Each carefully selected beverage comes from the French and Spanish Pyrenees in the southwest, reflecting the values of local sourcing championed by Pierre and Valentine.

A timeless place, a pause in the heart of Pau

More than just a restaurant, L'Aubalade is a gourmet haven where time seems to stand still. The warm and intimate dining room evokes a sense of home, surrounded by travel souvenirs and carefully chosen objects that tell a story. Pierre and Valentine's goal? To offer you a suspended moment of sharing and pleasure over a simple yet refined meal. The few meticulously set tables invite about fifteen lucky guests to journey alongside this passionate duo, delighted to welcome you to a restaurant that reflects their own style. Even the name of the establishment is a nod to the region, as L'Aubalade is a Béarnais term meaning "flame, burst of passion, fleeting flame," a definition that perfectly captures this exceptional place.
