Le Tonnelier sur Orleans

Fantastic restaurant, with original and reimagined dishes. A particular favorite was the sparkling strawberry verrine – it was divine! The service was impeccable, very professional, and they offered excellent advice. We'll definitely be back.

Excellent welcome and service. The waiter and owner were very friendly. The meal was very good. Excellent value for money. I highly recommend it. P.S.: The salmon was absolutely amazing!

While passing through Orléans, we booked after reading the reviews and we weren't disappointed. A very warm welcome, impeccable service, and top-quality food in a bistro atmosphere we love. Plus, the value for money is perfect. Don't hesitate, you can book.

An exceptional experience from start to finish. You can immediately taste all the love, passion, and expertise that the chef and his team put into every dish. The dishes are refined, generous, and perfectly executed, showcasing high-quality ingredients with exquisite taste. The service is equally remarkable: warm, attentive, and genuine. The entire team contributes to creating a welcoming atmosphere where you feel like a valued guest.

We had a very good dinner at this restaurant. The staff is friendly and the service is quick, there's a good selection on the menu, and while the dining room isn't large, it's well laid out. We will definitely return with friends.

Excellent home cooking with very good value for money.

A true 5 out of 5, I had read reviews that it gets busy so for mine and my partners wedding anniversary I booked a reservation, now I know how to count to 3 and that's about it in French despite spending many hours trying, the chap I spoke with knew slightly more English, but between to two of us we worked out a 7:45 booking. The next day rolls over, during our pre dinner drinks, we poured over the menu as to not embarrass ourselves when we were asked to order. Upon walking in, the other chap (dressed in a black shirt, and I assume with some seniority) looked at me for a second and warmly gestured to a table. I didn't even get the chance to perform my best French for "we have a reservation"! Within a few mins our host ran through the whole menu, explaining every dish, then recommended to us a local wine based on our orders and what kind of wine we liked, and we strapped in for a delicious meal. My partner started with the crab ravioli, served in a crystal clear but bursting with flavour broth, I opted for pea soup with bacon, neither of us had either dish before but wouldn't hesitate to sample again. The main course was duck for my partner and beef for myself, the duck was served in a black current sauce, and even though I'm not a fan of duck I had to admit it wouldn't have been upset to have received that for my main. My main was a peppered beef steak, which initially I thought might be underdone, but I didn't need to worry, whatever witchcraft the chef has, it was cooked perfectly. Dessert was a strawberry and rhubarb tart for me and a chocolate fondant, both were incredible, and worth the calories. Overall the atmosphere was full of good natured conversation with a mixture of group sizes, family dynamics and couples, we interacted with the chap I made the booking with, despite language barriers, along with our host (in black) thought out our meal. We paid a little over €100 a little under 1/3 of that was the bottle of wine we shared, so I think for the quality of what we got, it was well worth it. And another wedding anniversary celebrated (we really are making a rod for our own backs with even maintaining the quality of our anniversary meals).

A very pleasant restaurant where we had a particularly good meal. From the appetizer to the main course, absolutely nothing to complain about. And the wine list offers a very wide selection. The welcome and service were also impeccable.

Excellent value for money. The daily specials were very good, with excellent presentation and a very pleasant waiter. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful time at Le Tonnelier restaurant. The welcome was warm, the setting pleasant, and the cuisine showcases excellent ingredients. For starters, we had crab and leek ravioli with a herb broth. The dish was very flavorful and well-executed, although the broth was a touch too salty for my personal taste. This didn't detract from the overall balance of the dish. For the main course, the Pluma pork with honey and lemon, served with vegetables, was a real success! The meat was incredibly tender, melting in your mouth, and the honey and lemon combination was perfectly balanced. To finish on a sweet note, we had the orange Fiadone. A magnificent discovery, both fresh and fragrant, ideal for ending the meal. A reliable restaurant in Orléans that I wholeheartedly recommend to lovers of good food. We will gladly return!
