    • Here is told a fair and absolute story. An experience full of emotion.
      Chef Zian Bodou draws his inspiration from the very heart of the Pyrenees, its land and its traditions.

      Each detail is shaped, each story is chiseled. The cuisine blossoms through carefully selected ingredients, bursting with nature and cultivated with passion by the region's producers.

      Zian composes his dishes like a concerto of emotions inspired by the green hillsides, the iodine of the sea and the centuries-old history of the region.

      ZIAN BODOU

      Zian Bodou is originally from Pau. He obtained his professional baccalaureate in the high school of Morlaas. In his first year, at the age of 17, he already started to collect distinctions: Best Apprentice of the Atlantic Pyrenees and New Aquitaine, finalist in the television competition Objectif top chef.
      After a stint in Michel Guérad's prestigious kitchens and then in Philippe Etchebest's, he created with his father, "La Table d'Hôte du Vic-Bilh" in a manor house dating from 1671, where he was quickly noticed.
      Today, back in Pau, he opens the restaurant "OBSIDIENNE Zian Bodou", with the objective of becoming one of the best restaurant in France.

      "THE AUTUMN/WINTER COLLECTION"

      • Lunch : Menu " HORIZON essentiel
      Horizon essentiel
      , is the menu proposed by the chef at lunch. Drawing inspiration from recipes, some of which date back 250 years, that have made the great hours of gastronomy, Zian Bodou celebrates the rich French culinary heritage. A playful ode to heritage cuisine, the kind that crosses fashions and centuries while remaining profoundly modern.

      • Dinner: "Extreme Horizon" Menu
      Extreme Horizon is the gastronomic menu proposed by the chef for dinner. From high altitude lakes to vineyards, passing by the ocean and its spray, Zian Bodou plays a mischievous repertoire combining naturalness, poetry and creativity. This walk, made up of seven stops, celebrates the richness and biodiversity that we are privileged to have in our region, and that we want you to discover through our dishes.

      "THE MEAL AS A STORY, THE TABLE AS A SCENE."

      The service must be in unison with the kitchen.
      Between the guests and the dining room, the connivance must be established instantly. Then, everything becomes simpler, everything becomes possible. The meal at each table is organized according to the desires of the eaters, in complete freedom.
      Conversations start, people share, they find again this sense of conviviality which is so essential for a successful meal. The service must go to the essential: the absolute sense of hospitality to which is added the energy of youth.

    Brilliant experience this afternoon, each dish was absolutely delicious and the service perfect. When you put things into context, a young 19-year-old chef setting up his first restaurant started from nothing. Who releases a kitchen of this level barely a few weeks after its opening, it's just extremely rare. When I see some say that it is not at the level of certain tables in Pau, it makes me laugh. I don't know of any table in Pau that had this level at the very start of their career, I'm not talking about opening a restaurant. But in career terms, the chef is literally a newborn in the business. So yes it is perfectible, especially on the room to match the standard of the kitchen that offers. But it's good, the service is really great, they're super motivated young people. Pairings, textures, creativity, everything is there to make this address a must in Pau gastronomy. Thank you Zian and your team for this meal, you are promised a bright future.

    An excellent meal! The young chef Zian Bodou gratified us with very fine dishes, original flavors (geranium mousse, Amor Amor ganache from Cacharel). Nothing to say, I'm sure this young man (who is adorable too) will soon have a star. 8-course menu, matching wines and champagne around €90 if I'm not mistaken. They are well worth it! Service level, some bugs excused because the restaurant had not been open for very long. However, these bugs can be detrimental when you want to be a gourmet restaurant. I can't wait to go back there and I recommend it.
