By winning the title of Gault&Millau Chef of the Year, César Troisgros has established his own path within a legendary lineage.

The GaultMillau guide (French version) has just crowned César Troisgros “Cook of the Year” for his exceptional work at the Troisgros house. Troisgros in Ouches. This distinction places the chef at the heart of a rare family history: after Pierre and Michel, it’s now the turn of the third generation to be recognized by the same title. At the age of 39, César Troisgros’s cuisine is precise, clear and rooted in seasonality, combining heritage with a contemporary sensibility. The Yellow Guide hails “a committed cuisine”, respectful of the product and masterfully restrained. This recognition confirms the singular place of the Troisgros house in the French gastronomic landscape, between transmission, modernity and responsible vision. A clan that continues to write its history with discretion and self-sacrifice (almost) unconcerned by the passage of time and the world around it.
