L'Etoile Restaurant

L'Etoile is a fine dining restaurant in Madison, WI. Our seasonal menus are inspired by the artisans and small sustainable farms of the Midwest.
(795)

L’Etoile has served local and seasonal offerings since it first opened its doors in 1976. Former owner Odessa Piper, a pioneer of the sustainable food movement, prided herself in the cultivation of strong farm-to-restaurant relationships. Her support of Madison area farms and artisan producers helped grow what is now the largest producer-only farmers’ market in the nation. Through the years, L’Eto

ile has become known as a “shining star” in the Midwest for its consistence in quality and service. L’Etoile, under Chef Tory, continues to win high praise both locally and nationally for its excellence in food and service. Recent recognitions include Gourmet Magazine’s “America’s Top 50 Restaurants”, Saveur’s “Top 100” and the title of Madison Magazine’s “2010 Chef of the Year," as well as Chef Tory's James Beard "Best Chef: Midwest" Award in 2012. We still believe that supporting our local farmers and artisan producers has a direct impact on our community: it strengthens local economies; it encourages variety and enriches our food traditions; it promotes health and wellness by offering menus made from natural and wholesome ingredients. We will always have local and seasonal ingredients on our menu, no matter the season.
