Cocktails and shareable Asian fusion plates in a chic eatery
"The chef and co-owner of Lula Mae previously cooked at the Tyger." - Robert Sietsema
"Unlike its subterranean siblings Chinese Tuxedo and Peachys, the Tyger is housed in a sprawling corner space on Centre Street, filled with woven chairs and flora that nod to its tropical influences. Chef Paul Donnelly’s menu traverses Southeast Asia, picking up elements from Vietnam, Thailand, and Cambodia in the form of an oyster mushroom bánh xèo and Phnom Penh fried chicken. The cocktail list also incorporates ingredients from those locales, with pandan, lemongrass, and star anise popping up in various drinks." - Patty Lee
"This Southeast Asian eatery (from the people behind Chinese Tuxedo and Peachys) offers inventive drinks that pair well with its playful and punchy flavors. Dig into some crispy lamb ribs with Cambodian sweet and sour sauce, or share a plate of the charred octopus with watermelon, Thai herbs, and spicy ginger dressing. To go with, you’ll want to order The Bark, Bellow, and Roar — a tropical punch with an Asian twist that can stand up to the heat. It combines BACARDÍ Ocho Reserva Rum, pear, pineapple, and coconut juices, Ming River Sichuan Baijiu, and a spritz of lime." - Vox Creative
"Eddy Buckingham and chef Paul Donnelly’s hip Southeast Asian restaurant the Tyger has a namesake frozen cocktail: The Tyger Strype ($18). On the list since the restaurant opened two years ago, this drink is designed to look like tiger stripes incorporating tequila, white tea, activated charcoal, peach liqueur, lemon, and smoke for its black layer, while the orange layer is made from tequila, Maraschino, mango, lemon, honey, and cardamom. Pro tip: Should you fancy one color over the other, you can order it as a solo drink." - Kat Odell

"Megan is a pescatarian — something I learned on our first date at the Tyger, when I piped up to order meat dishes to share, and she politely told me she didn’t eat meat — so I’ve learned to cook meatless meals."
