The setting is simply stunning. Surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass and overlooking nature in every direction, you almost feel as if you are dining outdoors. It is one of the most beautiful restaurant environments we have experienced, creating a unique sense of calm and connection with the surrounding landscape.
The cuisine was excellent and clearly driven by a strong creative vision. What made the meal particularly memorable was how often it sparked discussion at our table. Several dishes combined flavours and textures in unexpected ways, leading to reactions of curiosity and intrigue rather than immediate gratification. The food continually encouraged reflection and conversation, making the experience intellectually engaging from beginning to end.
The service was more mixed. At its best, it was warm, attentive and genuinely welcoming. However, the level of professionalism was not always consistent throughout the meal. Some interactions felt polished and thoughtful, while others appeared rushed or lacked the attention to detail one might expect at this level. This occasional inconsistency stood in contrast to the otherwise carefully curated experience.
While the cooking showed considerable creativity and complexity, the visual presentation felt relatively understated and rarely became a focal point of the experience. The lasting impression came less from spectacular plating and more from the originality of the flavour combinations and the conversations they inspired.
Overall, what we will remember most is the remarkable setting and a menu that constantly challenged expectations. It was a thoughtful, distinctive and highly enjoyable experience that stayed with us long after the meal had ended.
As someone who grew up working in kitchens in the American deep south, to have an opportunity to experience a sitting at Troisgros felt like the pinnacle of my lifelong culinary journey. The service is outstanding - warm and attentive without feeling overbearing or expectant. The food is sublime, each dish an exercise in both technique and creativity. Thank you to the entire staff for providing a kid of humble beginnings with such an unforgettable moment.
If this isn’t one of the most beautiful restaurants in the world, I don’t know what possibly could be.
Had the lunch tasting menu and it was really unique and interesting.
Not every dish was a 10, but I think it was simply a matter of personal preference. You can tell that every plate was had the quality of a 3 Michelin Star restaurant.
The flavors are bold and really well executed, which is why I think this is a thoroughly can’t-miss experience when you combine it with the location and setting.
For sure a top restaurant in France.
We had a good time overall, the place is well decorated, the service was great, the wines pairing worked great as well. I was very disappointed by the dessert though, it was too technical and not tasty enough, not celebrating enough, a real let down. But the main problem is the price. A 610euros for the menu and wine, this is way too much for what you get. The value was clearly not there for me, abusive even. Disappointed.
