L'Empreinte

L'Empreinte is a small restaurant in Tarbes offering creative, gourmet cuisine. It presents weekday lunch and evening/weekend menus with a separate wine and drinks list, holds a Bib Gourmand and is noted in the Michelin Guide; menu PDFs (weekday lunch, evening/weekend and special menus such as Valentine’s) are available on the website and reservations are taken by phone or via the website. An intimate, warm interior close to Tarbes’ historic centre creates a welcoming atmosphere; when the dining rooms are full the restaurant offers two mid‑height tables at the entrance. The kitchen follows the concept "traditionnelle améliorée," upgrading traditional French dishes with a strong emphasis on seasonal and regional ingredients. Specialties and highlighted preparations include tuna tataki, Porc Noir de Bigorre, burrata, Saint‑Jacques scallops, salmon preparations, chocolate desserts and dishes featuring figs and asparagus.
