The story
David Toutain, at 29 rue Surcouf in Paris, is a fine dining restaurant with a seasonal tasting-menu kitchen, and it earned 2 Michelin stars for excellent cooking in 2026. The We're Smart Green Guide also lists it with 4 Radishes for 2026.
David Toutain leads the kitchen, and the team page lists cooks, a pastry section and a service and sommelier team. The chef's spring note on the homepage names green asparagus and peas as the starting point for new dishes. Cooking follows the market gardeners and suppliers the kitchen works with.
Lunch offers four tasting menus and dinner offers one. Each menu takes its name from a plant, such as Reine des Prés, Mélisse, Berce and Alliaire, a nod to the acidity and bitterness that mark the chef's cooking. The menus change with the seasons. Prices run from 108 to 258 euros, net with service included.
Sommelier pairings include the Accord Prestige at 238 euros and a Mets & Vins option at 158, 118 or 88 euros. A non-alcoholic Soft Pairing is also offered at the same three price points, so guests who skip wine still get matched courses.
