Anyone may read the forums, but to post you must create a free account. By robert brown August 11, in France: Dining. In search of three-star dining as we remembered it a dozen years ago, my wife and I have decided to make a return to visit to Hotel-Restaurant Les Freres Troisgros after a year hiatus.
Although we have a car in our garage in Nice, the thought of making two six to seven hour drives in two days was daunting. The rails are high speed only between Marseilles and Lyon, however.
Does anyone who has dined at Troisgros recently have any words of wisdom about ordering or anything else? Has anyone made some interesting gastronomic train rambles in France that they wish to recommend?
The decor here is quite beautiful. It's also a nice place to have a cigar or digestif after a meal. MT utilizes certain Japanese ingredients e. An old dish of beef with Fleurie sauce is nice, and the aubergine appetizer when available in a gelee is very good. Pay attention in particular to dishes with acidity, including through the use of fruit with that component. This is not identical to the food and souvenir shopping possible through reviewing the items offered in the entryway to the hotel or opposite the wine cellar entrance.
