After leaving the famed Le Francais Restaurant in Wheeling, Michael Lachowicz took his passion for French cuisine and several members of the Le Francais team to the North Shore to open his own restaurant. Chef Michael creates a unique experience showcasing his craft and proficiency in modern French cuisine and takes guests on a culinary journey. George Trois is a tasting experience. Offering a 12-course degustation menu, guests are transported to the French countryside with every bite. By limiting the seating to a small and exclusive number of guests each night, Chef Michael is able to attend to each plate with calm, meticulous and detailed vision. The multi-course menus are pre-designed by Chef Michael and his long time team. All items change weekly based on seasonal availability and are exclusive to George Trois guests. A full wine list is available or Wine Flights may be added for additional cost. In 2019, George Trois became the first-ever suburban restaurant to be named Restaurant of the Year by the Jean Banchet Awards.
