"Michel and Marie-Pierre Troisgros are behind the family's other gourmet establishment set in a former 1920s hotel. The vibe is smart yet casual and the warm, vintage decor is inspired by the brasseries of yesteryear. You will sample a concise menu that changes daily, flanked by à la carte suggestions in a traditional register, although often reworked with creative twists, illustrated by a profiterole with mustard-flavoured ice cream. The place is always busy, bearing witness to its well-deserved success." - Michelin Inspector
"Les Frères Troisgros was known for the simplicity and purity of its cooking and its unpretentious atmosphere. That year, Rodgers spent every spare minute in Jean and Pierre Troisgros’ kitchen, except for when she visited the home kitchen of their sister, Madeleine Troisgros Serraille, Tata Madeleine, who also knew how to prepare a perfect meal. The Troisgroses believed, Rodgers wrote, that everyday food ought to be taken as seriously as haute cuisine, 'just as well prepared, and just as celebrated.'" - Aimee Levitt
"Troisgros rose to fame alongside his brother Jean at his family’s restaurant in Roanne, France. The Troisgros brothers took over their parents’ restaurant, the Hotel Moderne, which opened in 1930, and renamed it Les Frères Troisgros in the mid-1950s, two years after it received its first Michelin star. There, their cooking style departed from French traditions, prioritizing lighter, fresh ingredients in what’s now acknowledged as a precursor to nouvelle cuisine." - Erin DeJesus
