Maison Troisgros – The Genius of Troisgros

This French culinary temple is located in a remote city with little interest, so only true Michel Troisgros (3 stars Michelin of course!) cooking worshipers will find the restaurant. Michel Troisgros, the third generation of the legendary Troisgros chefs’ family, is a real artist who creates and invents the third-millennium dishes.

It’s my second time in this extraordinary restaurant (last time I was in winter of 2003) as well as in this amazing Japanese style hotel (Relais§Châteaux). The dinner yesterday was real happiness that any gastronomy lover should experience at least once per life.
