Popôte in Tarbes, bistronomic cuisine at the foot of the Pyrenees

Pushing open the door of the Popôte restaurant in the Arsenal district of Tarbes, one quickly understands what appeals to the Fooding and the Michelin Guide, which mention this Pyrenean restaurant with high praise in their 2024 edition. At the helm, an endearing duo formed by Anthony in the kitchen and Laura in the dining room, a passionate, warm and demanding couple who do justice to the region's products, surrounded by a cheerful team.

Delicate, local and homemade cuisine

Popôte's philosophy is simple: to elevate fresh, seasonal produce, mostly sourced locally, into elegant dishes where every flavor is respected. From Bigorre black pork and Pyrenees trout to Tarbais beans and Astarac black poultry, Anthony's cuisine is in harmony with its terroir and local producers, reflecting a desire to showcase the riches of the Pyrenees through precise and skillfully executed dishes.
