Arraditz

Arraditz (meaning 'Roots' in Béarnais) is run by Karine and Olivier Nicolau, who launched it to reconnect with their Béarnaise roots and place their talent at guests' service. The house appears on professional guides: Michelin e‑label/selected, Collège Culinaire de France and Gault & Millau. What makes Arraditz unique is the combination of strong local sourcing and a location that merges a historical setting with modern haute‑cuisine presentation. The dining room blends past and contemporary in a new, refined décor at the foot of Lescar's medieval ramparts, near Pau. The restaurant is air‑conditioned and provides seating in a refined interior. A private parking area serves guests. The kitchen practices modern cuisine allied with local, seasonal products, with meticulous, aesthetic plating. It offers defined menus, including Menu Racine and Menu Dégustation, alongside an à la carte selection. The team adapts dishes for allergies and intolerances on request. The cellar comprises about one hundred curated references with a focus on South‑West wines from Jurançon, Madiran and Béarn. Wines are available by the glass and in producer‑focused selections. Specialties include locally sourced seasonal dishes.
