RESTAURANT DAVID TOUTAIN

David Toutain had long dreamt of running a small restaurant in a big city. It was in the discreet Rue Surcouf in Paris, a stone’s throw from Les Invalides, that he opened his eponymous restaurant in 2013. A decade later, he is still there every day to welcome guests, staff and producers. Quality produce is king in this thirty-six-seat intimate venue. And the cuisine, working with colours and the seasons, highlights nature in its beautiful simplicity. Two Michelin stars and a Green Star are a testament to David Toutain’s innate talent, his ability to work the produce and his daily commitment.
