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.
