About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Innovative
  • Good for special occasions
Toutant**(pronounced too-tawnt) offers contemporary country cuisine and libations, served in a comfortable, casual setting. Focusing on high-quality, seasonal ingredients, Roberts’ Southern Louisiana roots and dedication to New York’s farming community provides Buffalo diners with access to modern, fresh cuisine influenced by the American South.

Ideally, Toutant seeks to invoke the memories of its guests’ early childhood family dinners, demonstrating the heart, preparation, and comfort experienced at those gatherings. Guests are able to enjoy upscale Southern comfort fare from a menu featuring vast amounts of fresh Gulf seafood and shellfish, buttermilk fried chicken, and accurate renditions of numerous Southern favorites like jambalaya, house-smoked sausages, cast iron skillet cornbread, and authentic barbecue offerings. The beverage program features seasonal frozen daiquiris, local cider, beer and wine, as well as hand-selected bourbons, whiskeys, and moonshine.

    Surprised by how good the venue was. We went on a date to celebrate our anniversary, and we're pleasantly surprised by gow good everything was. Our waitress was also very knowledgeable, which helpped in navigating our options.

    The restaurant was very nice and our waiter was helpful to provide us with his recommendations. The food was ok, I think we expected more considering the online reviews.
