Toussaint says of the last 12 months: “It’s been a successful year of awards. We’ve been recognised as one of the 50 best restaurant in the world for two consecutive years after the first year of operation.”
He is keen to provide an even higher standard of service and setting new benchmarks in Dubai.
But in addition to the Abu Dhabi venue, La Petite Maison is looking further afield. Toussaint says that in the next year the plan is to develop the brand worldwide with an expansion to the US.
He is very proud of his team in Dubai, and says: “We have an incredibly hard-working team of 112 — they are a great bunch of colleagues.”
