The story
In the 9th arrondissement, on rue Claude-Rodier, Le Tire-Bouchon Rodier lives up to its name. This is a bistro that puts wine at the heart of the table – and the experience. The name means “the corkscrew,” and the owners have matched the restaurant with a dedicated wine bar, La Cave, just one door down at 45 rue Rodier.
The restaurant itself is open Tuesday through Saturday for lunch and dinner. The interior features counter dining, a detail that invites guests to sit close to the action and watch the kitchen work. The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious, a place where the food and the wine list are the main attractions.
Le Tire-Bouchon Rodier holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand for 2026, an award that highlights good-quality cooking at a reasonable price. The recognition fits the restaurant’s straightforward, generous approach: French bistro classics prepared with care, without unnecessary frills.
The wine list is notably interesting – a natural extension of the team’s passion, given the adjacent cave. Guests can browse the bottles next door and bring a selection to the table, or simply trust the sommelier’s suggestions.
The restaurant’s hours are consistent: midday until 3pm and 7pm to 11pm, Tuesday through Saturday. Meanwhile, La Cave keeps later hours (until 2am) and also opens Saturday lunch, making it a perfect spot for an after-dinner glass or a casual wine-and-cheese stop.
The address is simple, the cooking is honest, and the wine flows freely. Le Tire-Bouchon Rodier is a genuine Parisian bistro – the kind that feels like a local secret, even with a Bib Gourmand to its name.
