Immediately in front of the Pau Chateau, Les Amoureux has an unimposing facade, but a warm and inviting interior. Cuisine is mainly Italian, with a bit of a French flair. Service is spectacular, and the food is wonderful. We started with the minestrone and went on to pasta. A nice Montepulciano was available for a very modest price. Our most enjoyable meal during our week in Pau.

Checklist: Great waitstaff (Mustafa). Lovely, quiet ambience. Delicious food that makes you want more. In the heart of one of France's most interesting cities, Pau. Le Ouarzazate gets the Angobango bump!This restaurant is wonderful,. We had passed it, on a little side street just off the main drag, weeks before. It appeared closed (but it did this time, as well, so best check the door!). But Le Ouarzazate, even closed, has a special and charming feeling. It lingered in our heads and finally, with the promise of spiced lamb calling, we returned. Immediately, it felt like this would be special. 'Ouarzazate' is a city located in south-central Morocco, and the word itself has its roots in a Berber phrase that loosely means 'without confusion', 'without noise'. The restaurant conveys this perfectly. It has a modern and also warm Moroccan flair, including atmospheric hanging brass lamps and skinny desert trees that create a sense of intimacy for diners. Mustafa, who manages the bistro and waited upon patrons, welcomed us, working effortlessly with our stumbling French and then stepping in with his own good English when needed. And the menu. As anyone who is foodie enough to be reading this knows, sometimes you are just boggled by choices. (That is why we went back two days later!)The food: My husband got the Sahara couscous with chicken and kefta--. a full plate of moist flavorful chicken and skewers of kafta on a bed of couscous. The next time, he got the kefta tagine, with lots of little kefta meatballs in scrumptious sauce. I got the Royale tagine, with lamb shanks and veal, baked to perfection in Moroccan spices and served with a small side dish of cinnamon/sugar-topped couscous. The second time around, the veal tagine with peaches, pearl onions and fruits was smooth and perfectly cooked. And we both started with a refreshing tomato/red pepper salad perfectly dressed. They have a solid couscous and tagine menu, and also both fish and pigeon pastillas, which take just a little longer to cook. The place was packed. Reservations are really important!

We stopped by Le Jardin de Marianne for lunch on a hot summer day. Marianne immediately presented us with a pleasantly cold hibiscus drink (that was urgently needed), and then proceeded to feed us, as a good host would do, preparing a beautiful salad, followed by a small omelette based main dish, anticipating our needs exactly, without ever having to ask us about them. That is, we have never seen a menu, nor had any interest in looking at a menu if it exists, preferring to trust Marianne. The food was perfectly matched to the weather, and Marianne herself was extremely warm, kind and welcoming. Absolutely wonderful experience in every respect. If you are looking for a light lunch in the center of Pau, you can hardly do any better. The food is vegetarian but that should not stop even the most committed carnivores.

We were lucky to find this restaurant tucked away and glad it was open on a Monday evening. Really lovely home cooked food, very delicately seasoned, very tasty, very satisfying. Super attentive service, the chaps were so nice; friendly and helpful. The wine was also so good we bought a bottle to take home! Very highly recommended.
