L'Entrecote - Pau

This place was heaving with people! Like super busy. Staff were super nice. We ordered two pizza's....that took a while to be prepped. That was the only downside of being busy I guess. My friend went to collect the pizza and the chef thrust the pizza in here hand and gestured "no charge". I guess as its as they took so long?Anyway would definitely go back and thanks for the freebie pizza 10/10.

This busy restaurant is popular with locals, and visitors as well. The staff work very hard and are always smiling. The menu offers a wide range of French and Italian food, plus wines, beers, etc. It's a good place and we went back for a second time when we were in Pau.

Happy with the pizzas, although under cooked, but disappointed with the really slow service. Good thing they made it up to us in the end, but 1h45 to get 3 pizzas just isn't acceptable. Bad luck maybe, 14th of July, possibly a bit busier than usual.

We have visited this Bistro many times over several years and can strongly recommend it for good food and a charming atmosphere. Its not Haute Cuisine though so don't expect such when you visit - its local staples nicely prepared like Veal Escallope, Chevre Salad and Grilled Entrecot ---- with of course the ubiquitous Pizza prepared by the owner himself in a small oven at the door.Very reasonably priced and good helpings.Staffing is, like a lot of small restaurants, minimal so be prepared to wait but you will see the waitress is working her socks off usually. Best get there by 12 if your going for lunch as it gets busy very quickly.

The taste op the pizzas was not as we expexted. The service was not friendly. We visited the restaurant based in the 4 out of 5 via Tripadvisor...

The restaurant wasn't open the first few evenings I was in Pau and then one night I saw it was open so I went in. I was happy I did: I liked the food and the ambiance.

I find the name of this restaurant a bit misleading. While it invokes images of a quintessential French place, this is actually a pizza-and-pasta place (although they do serve steaks). It's not really 'Italian" though; the food - and the pizzas - have a decidedly French flavour to them, even if "French pizza" seems a bit like a contradiction. I'd say you're unlikely to find a pizza with potatoes, crème frâiche, lardons, onions and reblochon in Italy, for example.It was busy when I visited on a Saturday night; the atmosphere was convivial and the little place was bustling. The single waitress was doing an amazing job handling so many tables, while the food was being prepared in the open kitchen by two guys who looked like they'd been doing that for a long time. I arrived unannounced and was quickly allocated a spot on a long table between two other groups; a bit like joining another group for dinner - it's that sort of place. Service was friendly and surprisingly quick considering how busy it was. Full marks on that front.My pizza was good without being great, but nicely done just the same. Dessert of chocolate mousse was home made and good as well. The wine by the carafe was on the other hand barely drinkable and definitely at the lower end of the bulk wine scale. They could have provided something a little more drinkable without breaking the bank.Definitely better than average, so "very good" it is then (although I'm tempted to give an average rating because of the poor wine).

This tiny cafeteria has more than you expect but the wine selection is rather poor. The quality of the food, the waitress and the price are definitely positive aspects.
