    • Nativ, a superb restaurant where everything is perfectly controlled, from the welcome to the coffee, in the center of Pau

      A must-visit ! That perfectly defines this unique place for exchange and sharing. Passionate about cooking, baking, her local produce, and craftsmanship, Tasiana didn't hesitate for a second to open a restaurant that brings together all her passions: Nativ. In the heart of Pau's historic center, this artist, originally from Mauritius, welcomes you throughout the day from Tuesday to Friday, 10 am to 5 pm. A gourmet stop is definitely in order, especially at Nativ!


      Fresh, seasonal cuisine served continuously

      The menu is concise (two choices for starters and main courses) because it prioritizes quality over quantity. To create her flavorful and aromatic dishes, Tasiana visits the market in Pau and local producers, carefully selecting the best seasonal ingredients. A quick turn in the kitchen transforms these local gems into delicious recipes that blend French tradition with Mauritian inspiration. The equally decadent dessert is absolutely divine, especially when paired with matcha tea, specialty coffee, or a handcrafted beverage. And on Saturdays? It's brunch at Nativ restaurant, which even hosts Pilates & Brunch once a month—a unique moment of relaxation and indulgence that you can book without hesitation.

      The dishes served continuously from 12pm to 3pm allow you to enjoy a delicious meal at any time of day.


      Nativ, a warm and inviting bistro-café where you can relax and unwind.

      Whether it's for a morning coffee, a hearty breakfast, a quick lunch, or a generous afternoon snack, Tasiana extends the same warm and welcoming smile to each of its guests. Its cozy and intimate restaurant features a few custom-made tables crafted by a local artisan, a nod to its region that is reflected in every detail of the establishment. The tableware is handcrafted by Les Ateliers Hybrides, the coffee is from Azeria in Biarritz, the tea comes from Un Air de Thé, while the personalized décor showcases magnificent works by Mauritian painters. From concept to plate, from idea to cup, Nativ is like a return to one's roots, where pleasure is paramount.

    I highly recommend Nativ. Everything was perfect from start to finish: the drinks, the appetizer, and then the delicious dessert. Each course was truly excellent, with flavorful and expertly prepared ingredients. Special mention goes to the kindness and warm welcome of the staff, which made the experience even more enjoyable. You can feel their genuine attention to detail and the care they give to their customers. A wonderful discovery in Pau; I will gladly return!

    Found a new spot in Pau — and I already know I will be a regular customer. The ceramics are what got me first. All handmade, slightly imperfect in that very intentional way. You notice it without trying. It makes everything feel softer, more personal.The space is well designed. simply comfortable in the best sense. Clean lines, a calm palette, everything quietly in balance. The matcha “il cartonne” . And with the rose syrup — that’s when it gets a bit addictive. Warm, a little floral, especially when it’s raining outside. The owner is genuinely kind, in a quiet way that makes you feel comfortable without even thinking about it. If you want somewhere to spend an easy, slightly indulgent afternoon — do recommend this place. And don’t forget the chocolate cookie and brownie here!
