"Veteran chef and restaurateur Michael Lachowicz permanently closed suburban fine dining icon George Trois in late February after nine years at in Winnetka, according to a rep. The closure is designed to make way for an expansion of Aboyer, Lachowicz’ French brasserie that until now has shared a space with George Trois at 64 Green Bay Road. To keep the spirit of George Trois alive for its fans, he’ll use the name and ethos for a series of monthly pop-up dinners, wine events, and cooking classes." - Ashok Selvam
"Chef Michael Lachowicz and his team at George Trois in suburban Winnetka will host an opulent Christmas Eve menu ($189 per person) featuring fancy fare like foie gras eclair over crispy fried leeks, paupiettes of Dover sole with lobster mousse, and filet of beef tenderloin with truffle mousse en croute. Reservations are available via Tock. Interested parties would be wise to move quickly, as the intimate restaurant only seats 12." - Naomi Waxman, Ashok Selvam

"Georges Trois is a haute cuisine sanctuary that retained its seasonal eight-course tasting menu after reopening. The restaurant won the Jean Banchet 2019 Restaurant of the Year award and has had to adapt its operations due to the pandemic." - aimee.levitt
"Phil Vettel visits two fine dining spots in the Chicagoland area and deems them both excellent. Up north in Winnetka, the Tribune critic believes that chef Michael Lachowicz provides one of the region’s finest French experiences at recently-reopened fine-dining destination George Trois. The “brilliant” restaurant, which “arguably deserves a Michelin star,” offers a 12-course menu that starts off with a “heavenly” bite of osetra caviar over a dome-shaped potato panier. Foie gras torchon is bound in gelee, served alongside a hot seared foie medallion, and topped with Burgundy truffle shavings that add “even more luxury,” while lamb loin sits atop choux confit and a “lovely” rosemary jus. The meal finishes with a “picture-perfect” miniature soufflé and a variety of autumn-themed sweets." - Jeffy Mai
