At David Toutain, indulge in inventive vegetable-centric tasting menus paired with exquisite wines, all served in a sleek, minimalist space.
"David Toutain, who made a name for himself at a series of renowned establishments (Arpège, Agapé Substance), has brought a melting pot of culinary trends to this quiet street in a neighbourhood of government buildings. In a modern, loft-style space, he serves contemporary flavours in the form of an ambitious cuisine d'auteur: a light touch, a penchant for vegetables, and a refined aesthetic sensibility. You can sense the fire in the chef's belly and the wisdom that comes with that age when an inner balance allows one to get to grips with (and channel!) one's creativity." - Michelin Inspector
"Having worked at Three MICHELIN Star and Green StarL’Arpège, among other prestigious establishments, the Two MICHELIN Starred David Toutain is considered to be one of the most promising chefs of his generation." - The MICHELIN Guide
"With his creative and surprising cuisine, David Toutain really fits the bill of a Michelin-Starred chef." - The MICHELIN Guide
"After working with Alain Passard and Marc Veyrat, David Toutain first wowed Paris at Agapé Substance in Saint-Germain. Now he has his own place, and his constantly changing tasting menus (which range from 70 to 250 euros) deliver some of the boldest and most interesting food in Paris. Think dishes like seared foie gras in baked potato bouillon with black truffles; a monochromatic white composition of cuttlefish with yuba; and nearly translucent Parmesan gnocchi, seasoned with the juice extracted from cooking the cheese at very low temperatures for hours. Located in the Seventh Arrondissement." - Alexander Lobrano
"Rank: #86 "While chef David Toutain’s culinary expertise is a testament to his training under the likes of French legends Alain Passard, Pierre Gagnaire and Marc Veyrat, his true flare developed with his vegetable-forward regime in Paris."
