Our story
Named for the Austrian valleys where our chef learned to cook.
Herman and Heidi Eisele opened Gasthaus Le Cafe on Atlanta Road in 1995, serving coffee, pastries and German comfort food. When Chef Reinhold Weger took over the kitchen, he grew the café into a full restaurant and renamed it for Tirol, the Austrian state where he served his apprenticeship.
Today Reinhold and co-owner Brian Noeske keep the original idea intact: honest Austrian and German cooking, a dozen-plus German beers on draft, and a dining room that feels like you've been invited into someone's home. Reservations are recommended. The house is small and it fills up.
Good food, good service, and a smile.
