Gone are the beautifully appointed plates replaced with browns/tans and no visual appeal. Gone is the creativity. I went twice in the last year, once in the fall and once in the spring and had the lunch menu. Except for one dish, it was literally the same meal. Very disappointing. I crave to go back and experience the thrill of the old Troisgros. When I see improved reviews, I will do so.

Wonderful culinary experience ! Troisgros is part of Relais Chateaux and amply deserves its 3 Michelin stars! read more Wonderful culinary experience ! Troisgros is part of Relais Chateaux and amply deserves its 3 Michelin stars!

You have all that at Troisgros and the result is amazing. True, it's not cheap, but you will not regret it.

Dinner was up to the location, the dishes looked all so simple, and yet every bite was an explosion of flavors, tremendous complexity, masterpieces of bitterness and sweetness. The wine list is huge, and the bottles we had were explendid Thanks to the team Troisgros

Fantastic dining experience. A great progression in the dishes. Top quality, top service top everything. You do not get from Michelin by accident. The dining room and the place is close to extraordinary. All this said, at some point you get a bill. We had chosen local wines 125 250 EUR bottle. Nothing fancy. 388 EUR p at the end ! 28 EUR x 10) for the welcoming cocktail ... which was very good) My point is we all have a psychological price we ca accept. Clearly above my standard here. We have tasted last year 2 Michelin which was nearly as good at less than 1 2 the price ! Do not get me wrong ... This is a UNIQUE experience. It is worth the trip from anywhere on the planet. But ... too expensive in my opinion and you do not get the 'value '. Purely a personal appreciation. NB: Can 't you offer different type of bread during the service ? That was truly cheap :
