Le Poulet à 3 Pattes

We had another lovely lunch here today and once again it reminded us why we keep coming back. The food is always consistently good — simple, well prepared, and exactly what you want for a relaxed lunch in Pau. But what really makes this place special is the atmosphere. The location is beautiful, the service is warm and attentive without ever feeling rushed, and the whole experience just feels easy and welcoming. François is a fantastic host — genuinely friendly, passionate about what he does, and someone who clearly cares about his guests having a good time. You can feel that this is a place run with heart. It’s one of those restaurants that just gets the balance right. We’ll be back (again).

Tremendous view of the Pyrenees on a clear day from the outdoor patio. Great food with very generous portions. Wonderful, friendly service (deserving of huge praise for crossing le Boulevard as part of their work). Great, crispy frites, and the 3 from fromages platter, with baguette and jam is delicious.

Great food and terrific views from the terrace on nice days. One of our favorite restaurants in Pau.

Perfect! we came for the terrace and the view mostly, but the food was soo soooo good, we’ll be back someday :)

Our dinner last night not great. Restaurant extremely hot (air con not working very well, no windows or air). Extremely uncomfortable. Good value for the formula meal. Beef and salmon were good. Waiters do not speak English at all, which would have been nice for our American visitor.

The menu du jour was fantastic and especially the squash soup. Black rice and chicken was also fabulous. Nice, sunny day with a great view of the Pyrenees. Highly recommend.

Really nice experience. Food is well served and fresh, space is not too fancy, good place for casual-special meals.

One of the best restaurants in Pau. Perfect food and beautiful view of the pyrénées.
