Le Lièvre Gourmand

Le Lièvre Gourmand is an étoilé (one-star) gastronomic restaurant in Orléans offering a creative fusion that blends local produce with exotic, especially Asian, flavours brought back from the chef's travels. It presents a variable carte and several set menus, including a tasting-style "grignotage" menu. The team offers a curated selection of foreign wines, and the restaurant provides group formulas, gift vouchers for multi-course menus and a nearby apartment for overnight stays. Housed in an old building, the restaurant combines historic character with a mixed-genre décor; service begins in a salon for the apéritif before guests are seated at table for a refined, relaxed dining experience. The cooking is fusion-led with a clear Asian influence, combining local seasonal ingredients with exotic techniques and flavours; dishes are precise, refined and evolve with the seasons, and the establishment emphasises balanced modern pairings as noted by the Guide Michelin and Gault & Millau. Tristan Robreau is the chef behind the concept. Specialties: Saint-Jacques — dashi, tempura; Turbot — sabayon miso; Ris de veau — binchotan, tom kha; Haddock — chawanmushi; sea urchins; Soufflé chaud — lemon with Thai basil sorbet; Menu grignotage (6 plates tasting).
