L'Ossau, a restaurant with bourgeois and refined cuisine in Pau

L'Ossau is reminiscent of these beautiful 19th century houses with careful service where great classics of French cuisine delight the palate, served on elegant tableware. Promoting fresh, local and above all seasonal products, Benjamin and Étienne have developed a short menu made up of famous, revisited and personalized recipes. Chicken from Maison Biraben, Duroc pork from the Lasset farm, organic bread from Gaston's bakery or cheeses from the Gazibos dairy, each ingredient is carefully selected to delight you with traditional and creative cuisine. The menu is adjusted every month according to the seasons, as is the lunch menu called semainier with gourmet proposals that change every 3 weeks. Some recipes served in the evening offer a nice show in the dining room, especially with the Mademoiselle flambée crepe, a delicious treat to taste. Made by pastry chef Jonathan Vallenari, the desserts are real delights to savor before coffee.

L'Ossau, a Bourgeois House renowned for its gastronomy in the city center of Pau

When two friends passionate about gastronomy meet, the recipe is successful! After a joint stint at Thierry Marx's Mandarin Oriental, Benjamin Grandclément and Étienne Guinel found themselves in common values and decided to create a place in their image: L'Ossau in a Bourgeois House. The former works behind the stove while the latter evolves in the dining room, a close-knit duo that advocates French savoir-vivre. Settle into an elegant and refined room with warm woody notes, and let yourself be carried away by the serenity of the place. In the summer, a pretty shaded terrace allows you to enjoy sunny days.

The little extra? Homemade sauces between the juices, stocks and broths, the opportunity to mop up your plate without feeling guilty.
