Le Mas des Arômes: Contemporary gourmet restaurant, in an old Béarnaise
It is in the countryside in Idron (only 5 minutes from the center of Pau) that Chef Pierre-Alexandre Mondeu and his wife Carine invite you to an exceptional culinary experience. On the plate, everything is fresh and the menu, which changes with the seasons, sings the love of good local products intimately linked to flavors from elsewhere. Mixtures that are sometimes surprising, but always just, tasty.

Granite, pebbles from the Gave are now enhanced with a contemporary, industrial style, with large openings, a designer veranda and two country terraces. The dining room will charm you with its decoration as refined as it is warm, which gives pride of place to elegant and comfortable furniture. Take a seat on one of the wooden terraces, you will feel at home there. The place is here in the image of its leader: natural, soft and warm.
Pierre-Alexandre has loved cooking (tasting it and concocting it) from an early age. From his childhood, emanate memories linked to the cuisine of his grandparents, authentic and epicurean. After several experiences in Paris, then back in Béarn, he opened his first restaurant, before switching to this more bucolic and spacious environment.
