    • Maynats – Gourmet restaurant in Pau

      A friendly address for creative and intuitive cuisine

      Take the legendary Pau funicular and let yourself be seduced by the Maynats gastronomic restaurant, a true culinary gem located a stone's throw from the station.
      Here, the cuisine is generous, festive, and sincere, driven by the passion of chef Gautier Alvarez and his team. Each dish reflects the pleasure of good food, the passing down of traditions, and local creativity.

      Maynats is above all about unpretentious gastronomy : a refined but unpretentious place, where you can savor excellence in a friendly, open and joyful atmosphere.

      An inventive and colorful cuisine

      Prepare yourself for a culinary journey between the terroir of Béarn and inspirations from around the world.
      The colorful and bold dishes combine fresh herbs, spices and local produce to create surprising and balanced meals.
      Each bite is a story to savor, a blend of mystery, provocation, and indulgence.

      To enrich the experience, indulge in the finely selected food and wine pairings — true dialogues between the glass and the plate.

      No menu, but unique suggestions

      At Maynats, there is no traditional menu : the chef offers two unique tasting journeys, in 4 or 6 sequences, depending on the seasons and the inspiration of the moment.
      Each service is a delightful surprise, an experience where trust and curiosity guide your taste buds.

      During the week, at lunchtime ( Tuesday to Friday ), also discover the 3-course market menu, designed for a shorter but equally refined gourmet break.

      The menus change with the seasons, to guarantee freshness and authenticity on every visit.

      A modern and friendly atmosphere

      The Michelin- starred Maynats restaurant welcomes you in a chic, bright and warm industrial setting, just a stone's throw from the city center of Pau.
      It's the perfect place for a romantic dinner, a meal with friends, or a moment to share with family.
