This takes us through the picturesque valley of Castelloubon to Juncalas where we start the climb of the Croix Blanche, which is sometimes used in the Tour de France and is well used by cyclists, not by cars. After descending the valley again, the route takes us past the bottom of Hautacam onto a small unknown climb of the Croix Blanche. This is the Tourmalet from Bagnères de Bigorre side. Heading towards the village of Gèdre this is the easy part: once into Gavarnie village we swing a right and head up the Port du Boucharo and the Spanish border - a total of 32 km. Warm up for this one - it's one long climb! We'll start from the town of Luz St Sauveur, heading up the valley past the Pic du Bergons as we ride close to the edge of the Gave du Gavarnie. Overall food rating: 7/10 A Chef who knows when and where flavours need to be expressive or subtle, the food tasty.An easy day to start! It's a gentle roll down to the valley bottom, and our ride will take us round to Argelès-Gazost along Voie Vert – The Green Way – an old railway line with tarmac surface and an excellent place away from any traffic, to start the climb to the ski station of Hautacam a out and back climb but a tough and unrelenting. Eggplant caviar was perfect, the vegetables cooked in a delicious and flawlessly reduced cooking jus. In a separate pot, potatoes/zucchini/ carrots/ mushroom. 7/10Īgneau, epaule confite 36hrs, caviar d’aubergine, legumes de saison (pommes de terre, zucchini, carrottes, champignons) cuits dans le jus de cuisson. A finely composed healthy dish (no unecessary bold seasoning, but flavour where it needs to be found, as exemplified by the exquisitely seasoned nem, then the lightly seasoned quinoa and vegetables, which was the right thing to do in this case. The genuinely Vietnamese nem flavour is faithfully replicated, quinoa cooked properly, the vegetables (carrots, radish) featuring a nice crunch. Nems filled with veal, on a bed of quinoa and vegetables/fresh herbs. Jarret de veau en nems croustillant, quinoa aux petits legumes, herbes fraiches. My decision was influenced by the fact that I do already cook classic French food at home, and not contemporary takes on that type of food, therefore I suggest you try their traditional food if you are in Pau.Ĭhef Jean-Pascal Moncassin worked, in the past, at Michelin starred Michel Sarran in Toulouse as well as reknown restaurants such as Le Crillon and le Grand Véfour. Not an easy decision as I am partial to those two different types of restaurants, but I am already familiar and do cook traditional french cuisine (from all regions of France) at home, therefore I decided to see what the well trained artisan Chefs had to offer in their casual eateries. In Pau, I did hesitate between traditional food (Chez Olive, Chez Laurette, Henri IV) or the contemporary casual eateries opened by Chefs who have spent long years alongside the greatest Chefs of France (Chef Nicolas Lormeau of Lou Esberit, Chef Jean-Pascal Moncassin at Detours).
