Le Bois sans feuilles

Le Bois sans feuilles is the three Michelin star restaurant of the Troisgros family, located in Ouches, at the heart of their estate. Access to the restaurant is designed as a ritualized journey, starting at the barn, passing through the cellars, and arriving at a clearing bounded by glass walls. Inside the dining room, nature penetrates from all sides, centred around a centuries-old oak that shapes the sensory experience. The restaurant offers a refined and contemplative atmosphere, deeply connected to the surrounding landscape and the changing seasons. Under the guidance of Chef César Troisgros, the cuisine reflects a new philosophy rooted in the living ecosystem of the estate, which includes an orchard, beehives, a permaculture vegetable garden, persimmons and pepper plants, as well as a forest, hills, a pond, pastures, and fields. César Troisgros shapes contemporary French gastronomy with an emphasis on seasonality and products cultivated on the estate. His dishes highlight vibrant acidity, precise flavours, spices, grilled and smoky notes, as well as light and pure compositions. The menu offers tasting menus inspired by the seasons and sourdough bread from the house’s bakery, creating a poetic dialogue between cuisine and nature.
