The Troisgros family are a family of French restaurateurs. Since 1957, Jean and Pierre Troisgros have played a significant role in the history of French cuisine. Pierre's son, Michel Troisgros, has played a major role since 1983. Michel Troisgros is the owner of the restaurant now called "La Maison Troisgros", in Roanne. The restaurant has been awarded Three Michelin stars since 1968.
Jean-Baptiste Troisgros and his wife Marie, of Burgundian origin, ran the establishment known as Café des négociants at Chalon-sur-Saône in Burgundy. They had two sons: Jean, born in 1926, and Pierre, born on 3 September 1928 at Chalon-sur-Saône.
In 1957, the "Hôtel Moderne" became known as "les Frères Troisgros", with Pierre working as chef, and Jean as master saucier. Their father Jean-Baptiste, with his experience of dealing directly with customers, worked as maître d'hôtel and sommelier. At the end of meals, Jean-Baptiste would introduce his two sons to restaurant patrons.
