Menus-Plaisirs - Les Troisgros

Fly-on-the-wall master Wiseman turns the camera towards a French masterful restaurant family, creating four hours of addictive magic for foodies.

The Troisgros family operates three restaurants in the Roanne region, northwest of Lyon. One of them has held three Michelin stars for 55 years and has now also received a sustainability star. When the genius Wiseman was on vacation in France, he spontaneously asked the owner of the star-studded establishment if he could film them. A pandemic and a few years later, he returned with his camera. And what a comeback it is! Menus Plaisirs offers the usual institutional observation in Wiseman's style in a 240-minute-long day at the restaurant, but behind the scenes. In addition to the kitchen and the dining room, there are visits to the market, a vineyard, and an organic meat farmer. The whole thing is astonishingly well-orchestrated and hypnotically interesting.
