Founded in 1930 in central France, the Troisgros family restaurant has been holding 3 Michelin stars for 57 years over four generations. Michel Troisgros, the third generation to head the restaurant, has turned over the responsibility for the cuisine to his son César, the fourth generation of Troisgros chefs. From the market to pick fresh vegetables, to a cheese processing plant, a vineyard, an organic cattle ranch to the backyard garden supplying the restaurant, Frederick Wiseman takes us on a mouthwatering and sense-pleasing journey into the family’s three restaurant kitchens. An immersive experience, four hours long, without interviews, narration or music, <i>Menus-Plaisirs – Les Troisgros</i> shows the great artistry, ingenuity, imagination, and hard work of the restaurant staff in creating, preparing, and presenting meals of the highest quality. The documentary won Best Non-Fiction film awards at the New York Film Critics Circle Awards, Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards, and the National Society of Film Critics Awards upon its release in 2023, and to date holds a 100% critics' rating on Rotten Tomatoes, being described as a "masterpiece" by several reviewers.DocumentaryPT4HPG2026-02-01
