The story
At 1 place des Marronniers in Montbazon, L’Évidence is the realisation of Chef Gaëtan Evrard’s lifelong ambition. “From my very first day in the kitchen, I knew I wanted to become a restaurateur,” he says. That drive, supported by family and a dedicated team, gave birth to this restaurant — a place that continues to write “a different story every day.”
Evrard’s cooking is guided by instinct. He describes his approach as a “carte blanche spirit,” creating dishes in the moment rather than following a rigid script. The result is a modern cuisine that draws deeply on the products of Touraine, while occasionally reaching into other regions that have shaped him. The menu is a journey through the local landscape, expressed with precision and clarity.
The restaurant holds one Michelin star, a recognition of its high-quality cooking. This award reflects the consistency and conviction of Evrard’s work — a cuisine that feels both personal and grounded.
L’Évidence offers two tasting formats: the Menu Parentheses and the Carte Blanche Menu. Both allow the chef’s instinctive style to unfold. The dining room is welcoming, with air conditioning and wheelchair access, and pets are welcome too. The dress code is flexible — casual, business, streetwear, or formal all fit.
The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner from Tuesday to Saturday, with closure on Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday. For reservations, call +33 2 47 38 67 36 during phone hours.
