Le Tiroir

A mostly skillful gastronomic twist on traditional french cuisine, in a well designed space. Service could be tightened and better explanations given for the dishes and wine.

My girlfriend and I celebrated Valentine’s Day here and we both left there extremely happy with everything. I wanted to find us a place that was more than just a typical steak dinner, I wanted an eating experience with a lot of different flavors and creativity. That’s exactly what I got here. The service was really nice and for the price point everything felt way above what we actually paid for. The waiters were great and the food was so creative and unique. I tried beef tartare for the first time and I don’t regret it at all. I highly recommend this place. Thanks for the great experience.

Our experience at Le Tiroir was really good. We very much enjoyed our meal, and the wine we had with it. The dishes were tasty, well presented, and with generous portions (maybe too generous?). My favorite was the chocolate and coffee dessert, which I can't recommend enough.

The food here is delicious! I had a prawn dish as an appetizer and tuna for my main. It was cooked to perfection and tasted very fresh. They have a lovely terrace and the inside of the restaurant is also cute. I highly recommend!

I was super excited to try this Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant as my first dinner in Lyon. I opted for the full tasting menu and I soon regretted it. (55) Starters Marinated watermelon & tomato water gel, feta ice cream Candied cherry tomatoes & strawberry/chilli confit red, pistachio shortbread — the first bite was refreshing but the feta ice cream tasted bland. I wish it had a stronger flavor. Felt unbalanced. Grilled leek & corn/coffee cream, chorizo/scallion condiment - Grilled corn & shallot pickles — the sauce was not good enough. I felt the dish was under seasoned. Was hoping for a flavor bomb but again the flavors were mild. Mains Octopus barbecue & chimichurri sauce. blackberry gel Celeriac purée & fennel salad, fresh mores — again, the octopus was under seasoned, no char flavor from the bbq, dish was luke warm, even the herbs. Confit shoulder of lamb & cheese sauce white/powder, tarragon pesto, Pickled red cabbage & roasted almonds — was really hoping for a WOW dish but again the confit was bland and under seasoned. The sauce was not as rich as it should be. I didn’t even want to dip the bread in it. Desserts Honey roasted apricots, raspberry diplomat & pistachio ice cream/paste — by the time the dish came to my table, the ice cream was 1/4 melted. Again, dish lacked any flavor or wow factor. Foam dark chocolate & brownie biscuit, vanilallonka ice cream — you really can’t go wrong with chocolate .. it wasn’t mind blowing but the most edible. Presentation was sloppy (looked like #2) and ice cream was melted. Service was good in the beginning but dwindled as more guest arrived. I can’t fault the servers because they were doing their best. 2 chefs and 2 servers are just not enough. Perhaps cut back on the number of guest you are serving to give them a good experience. Server noted the menu has been out for 2 weeks. I’ll be the bearer of bad news and say this menu is just not up to standard. For a Michelin bib restaurant, I was let down. I hope future menus can be improved.

Beautifully relaxed, simple elegant restaurant. The meal was delicious, but the steak tartar with blue ice cream was exceptional.

The food taste reached the average standard. Despite the creativity in the presentation, nothing special finally in the taste. The tartare was O.K., the foie gras smelled a bit strong. We found some little stones in the leeks; after had notified a waiter, no sign of apologies from the restaurant...

Definitely recommend this restaurant. If you're looking for a french cuisine, this is the place to go to. The food was really delicious, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.
