Menus-Plaisirs, les Troisgros

Plot

Founded in 1930, Troisgros has held three Michelin stars for 55 years. The children of the fourth generation, Marie-Pierre and Michel's sons are continuing the family business: César runs the Michelin-starred restaurant, "Le Bois sans feuilles" ("The Leafless Wood"), and Léo is in charge of one of the other two Troisgros restaurants, "La Colline du colombier" ("The Dovecote Hill"). From the daily market to the cheese maturing cellars, via the vineyard, the cattle farm and the vegetable garden adjacent to the restaurant, Menus-Plaisirs is an intimate, sensory journey through the kitchens of one of the world's most prestigious restaurants.

The camera glides through the bustling market, capturing the vibrant colors and textures of fresh produce, as César and Léo prepare to uphold their family's culinary legacy. Watching this film feels like stepping into a world where every ingredient tells a story, and the kitchen becomes a sacred space of creativity and connection.
