About
POF is on Boulevard Georges-Clemenceau, in a neighbourhood that is more residential than touristy. This location reflects the personality of a local bistro, where creative cooking does not need a prestigious address. You come for bold pairings and a friendly atmosphere, a good reason to leave the busiest streets of the centre. The couple behind POF draws on cuisines from around the world and combines them with market produce. This openness shows in spices, jus, herbs and sometimes unexpected pairings, always aiming for a tasty, balanced plate. The dishes change with the seasons and the team’s ideas. At lunch, the offer is on the board and puts available produce first, a good format for a weekday lunch. The evening menu is known for its deliberately offbeat, humorous dish names, behind which lie well-mastered dishes. On a first visit, ask the team to explain the dishes.
