Troisgros
Restaurant of a Grand Chef Relais & Châteaux and hotel in town (Roanne) “Our profession entails the permanent quest for the finest products. The extraordinary nature of a dish comes down to so few things.” When Michel Troisgros removes his chef’s hat for a few seconds, to talk about cuisine, people listen attentively. This Grand Chef has established his own name with his very pure cuisine. He says he drew inspiration from both Italy and Japan: “I had the great fortune to travel at a very young age, when impressions are the most vivid, and I only had a somewhat vague idea about what my cuisine would turn out to be.” Marie-Pierre attends to the details of the minimalist décor of this beautiful mythical residence with a contemporary spirit.
