¡Toma!

¡Toma! is built around the concept of "cuisine immersive," bringing artisans, cooks and guests together in a shared moment. The kitchen is explicitly seasonal and product-driven; menus rotate across three frameworks—SOURCES, CUEILLETTES and CONSERVES—and offerings are presented as an ensemble of preparations rather than traditional starters, mains and desserts. The project emphasises strong, ongoing partnerships with local producers and treats suppliers as creative collaborators whose work shapes the dishes. Critics have recognised the restaurant with a Michelin star, a Green Star distinction and a 17/20 in Gault & Millau, and the cuisine presents refined, evolving expressions of terroir and sustainable sourcing. An intimate, meeting-focused setting in the heart of Liège blurs the line between kitchen and dining room and between producer and cook to foster exchange and shared experience; the space is presented as a place of encounters and collective creation. Seating and decor details are not specified. The kitchen favours respectful, ingredient-driven techniques and uses conservation and seasonal storytelling as central elements of the menu experience. Thomas Troupin is the chef; the project was born from his return to Liège after years in the Ardennes and from his partnership with entrepreneur Roger Gehlen, and the restaurant’s name references the chef’s grandmother and his roots. Specialities include the central Immersion tasting menu, the SOURCES menu (Feb–May), CUEILLETTES (Jun–Sep) and CONSERVES (Oct–Feb), 5‑ and 7‑course tasting menus, and optional wine pairing or non‑alcoholic pairing.
