Highlights
"Chef Manon Fleury leads Datil with a focus on plant-forward, low-waste cooking, collaborating with small producers and farmers. The restaurant features fiercely seasonal dishes like white asparagus in a sesame and orange blossom crème." - ByLindsey Tramuta
"Take the sought-after roving chef Manon Fleury, a predominantly woman-led team, a plant-focused culinary ethos, and an earthy and bright interior, and you have Datil—the talented young chef’s first restaurant, located in Paris's north Marais. Fleury has always given locally sourced produce the starring role in her cooking, treating meat and fish as condiments. But here, dishes are more than just the sum of their sustainable parts; they come out of the semi-open kitchen like artistic compositions meant for reflection. The menu shifts seasonally but standouts have included rutabaga and pink radishes layered with garlic cream, almond, harissa, and thinly sliced scallops, as well as a celery and mushroom consommé-congee mashup, sprinkled with a few comestible flowers." - Lindsey Tramuta

"Chef Manon Fleury notched up a number of experiences in prestigious kitchens (with chefs such as William Ledeuil, Pascal Barbot and Alexandre Couillon) and short-term chef residencies before opening her own restaurant. Her culinary philosophy, based on a respect for nature and human dignity, a championing of short supply chains (sourcing carefully and locally) and a zero-waste policy, stems from a genuine passion for sustainable fine dining. Dishes are primarily plant-based (fruit and vegetables feature in equal measure), with animal protein used sparingly. Her refined cooking style reveals all the aromatic subtleties and complexities of grains in particular (she has written a book on the subject) but also of fruits, in a subtle exploration of their sweet and sour flavours. A decor of waxed concrete floors, velvet banquette, light oak dining chairs. Booking essential." - Michelin Inspector
"Chef Manon Fleury (Datil, new star restaurant) is winning over diners with her cooking that shows a commitment to all aspects of sustainable fine dining." - Le Guide MICHELIN
