"Unlike so many other restaurants, Le Tire Bouchon makes a definite statement about its cuisine: no fries, no sauce! Our first visit was on a sunny lunchtime in early September, where a close examination of the various "formules" on offer excited our curiosity, especially since to seniors such as we, all the options seemed to offer good value for money. Others must have thought the same because the only table available was in the street. We sat down and were promptly given a menu from which we could choose a-la-carte or a formule. My wife and I both ordered from the formule menu, and I do remember our choices were well-presented and tasted delicious.The service too was very good, so much so that at the end of our meal, we made a reservation to return in a few weeks and try an evening sitting.And we did. Again we were seated promptly, and again we received the same friendly service - this time our waiter clearly spoke better English than we spoke French! I ordered from the Formule 22 menu and chose the smoked salmon with dill for my entree (delicious); for my main I chose the pork belly with a creamy mushroom sauce and boiled, small new potatoes (excellent); and for dessert I guiltily chose a nougat ice-cream topped with raspberry sauce (annoyingly more-ish!) My wife had a pork terrine for her entree and a main course of mini-scallops, rice, caramelised onions and a small lettuce salad. Her verdict? Excellent!The wine list was fairly extensive but (as usual) we played safe and went with the house red, a merlot. At Euro 7.50 for 50cl it too was well worth the money!So a little gem in Lannion - thoroughly recommended."
