VILLA NAVARRE-BISTROT RUFFET
Restaurant offering refined bistronomic cuisine based on local and seasonal produce, in an elegant Pau setting.
The bistronomie version of the famous Palais gastronomic restaurant La Villa Navarre offers a combination of refined cuisine and elegant ambience. Facing the mountains, you'll plunge into the intimate yet sophisticated atmosphere of the Villa to discover a delicate cuisine. Local, seasonal produce is the star of the show, with exquisite dishes such as raviole à la piperade, crème de brebis jus de canard and farmhouse pork jus tranché. The plate is a veritable work of art, skilfully combining textures, tastes and visuals.

The food was amazing and original, the dishes are modern and playful with very local products, especially the meat. I would say it is mostly french inspired and doesn’t dig in too much in other cultures. The meat and fish are cooked to perfection and the portions are generous while being light and fresh enough to keep your pallet and your stomach engaged. I particularly enjoyed the veal tartare.
The service is perfect especially for a one star restaurant. I really appreciated that while the service was top notch, it also felt comfortable and did not feel suffocating like many other Michelin stars.
They have have an extensive and well supplied wine list (over 300 references).
The beer inspired dessert was incredibly surprising. I was so happy to see craft beers which are extremely in fashion used in such a delicate dessert.
Overall, while not every dish was as equally pleasing, they absolutely deserve their star.
My only complaint is the additional price for cheese which I believe is a little expensive compared to the full price. It should be either included or the price of the addition of cheese should be reduced. It is worth nothing that the bread they used is incredible and to be honest, better than 3 michelin star restaurants I have previously tried.
I would 100 percent recommend Maison Ruffet.
L'équipe est top, le cadre splendide, la cuisine est fine et recherchée, je recommande très chaudement
