We hadn't been back to this restaurant for a long time and we were very pleased with the warm welcome from the owners, the menu, and the well-prepared dishes, all at a good price. We highly recommend it.

Cooking with good ingredients

The service was completely inadequate. Several appetizers on the menu were unavailable and not announced (garbure, avocado and shrimp, oysters). The wait for the main courses was far too long, almost an hour. Apparently, boiling water for green beans, one of the four side dishes on the menu, was complicated, and getting the duck breast cooked properly was equally complicated. They didn't even offer a gesture of goodwill for the wait. The desserts weren't bad, but there's no chance of us returning.

I recommend it, everything is perfect

Keep everything, throw nothing away.

€40 per person on average, including one person who didn't order a starter or dessert, for a truly unacceptable meal. At that price, you can eat very well at Le 4ème Mur by Echebest. Dry meat, extremely basic dish. Very poor service. A shame, the setting is magnificent, and the access was excellent! Definitely just an off day, too bad for us.

Very nice, welcoming restaurant and very good food.

Not recommended for a group… the starter was excellent. Dessert too. However, the main course had tough meat and tasteless vegetables.

We used to come here regularly, but last Saturday we were very disappointed. The service was adequate, though inconsistent depending on the waitress. Our dishes arrived at different times... More than 10 minutes is far too long. The portions were small, and the side dishes were insufficient. We will not be returning to this establishment, which I do not recommend.

I'm in the restaurant business (25 years of experience) and I had already eaten there about ten years ago. At the time, the decor was a bit dated but authentic, adorned with photos of French celebrities who had dined there. They served excellent quality, traditional, home-style cooking at very reasonable prices. I wanted to repeat the experience on a Sunday in November 2025. That day, there was no set menu, only à la carte service. I don't mind the concept, but it's not mentioned anywhere on the website—a first disappointment that you only discover once you're seated at your table. A second regrettable point: the prices and the menu items don't match those displayed online, and the menu itself is incomplete. This is a shame and not very reassuring for the customer. On the plate: sweetbreads for €24—a good quality product, well prepared, but the side dish (salad and homemade fries) was very basic. In my opinion, it wasn't good value for money. To give you an idea, an all-you-can-eat restaurant offering baked salmon, leg of lamb, turbot, seafood, green beans, and rice costs the same. A little more effort on the side dishes would therefore be welcome. The same goes for the starters. The bill came to €98 for two people. For comparison, the gourmet restaurant L’Interprète in Pau offers a six-course menu (amuse-bouche, starter, two main courses, pre-dessert, and dessert) for €72, with incomparable value for money. In short: Le Bon Coin remains a pleasant place to eat during the week, but on Sundays, the experience unfortunately falls short of expectations.

The good times are over! Gone are the days of generous portions, gone is the friendly welcome. Now: a freezing cold room, 17°C! Tiny portions and sloppy food! What happened?

Excellent menu at a reasonable price. Three years later, still excellent.
