Henri IV
Henri IV Review
On a quiet pedestrian street near the château, this dining room with its open fire is a cozy find for a cold, wet night in winter, while the terrace is a shady place to cool off in summer. Traditional Béarn cooking here stars magret de canard cooked over coals and cuisses de grenouille (frogs' legs), sautéed dry and crispy in parsley and garlic. This is a good table for hearty local dishes, but don't expect anything extra-extraordinary from the kitchen.
