Le bois sans feuilles

Three-starred Gourmet Restaurant in Ouches

At the heart of the estate flourishes the three-starred restaurant Le Bois sans feuilles (The Leafless Forest), a name which in itself already evokes emotion. The path leading to it symbolically starts from the old barn, where a discreet eye follows your muffled steps along the secrets of the cellars, before entering into a dream-like glass clearing with a century-old oak.

The Dining room

As much an entrance as a ritual, this mysterious arrival awakens the senses. In this restaurant, where nature seems to be inside, the symphony of the seasons unfolds. With its infinite variations, César Troisgros invites his guests to appreciate their meal at mid-day or in the evening, under blue skies as well as amidst the grays of a storm.

A cuisine filled with life

For the first time in its history, Maison Troisgros is sustainably taking care of its own source and part of its resources. An orchard, bee hives, a permaculture vegetable garden, a plantation of persimmons and pepper trees. Further on a forest, rolling hills, a pond at the heart of the domain, surrounded by pasture land and meadows… Sensitive to the diversity, interactions and cycles that govern the balance of the animal and plant kingdoms, it extracts its secrets from the heart of the natural ecosystem in which it resides. In Ouches, the kitchen is like an atelier, open to all surrounding life.

From a lineage devoted to simplicity, César grew up with a particular taste for acidity. He favors clean, precise flavors, supported by a touch of sharpness, and has a sensitivity for toasted and smoky notes. Immersed from a young age in musical and pictorial arts, he cooks the way one writes poetry, with an endless repertoire of variations always within reach.

At the heart of Le Bois sans feuilles, his compositions—marked by purity, freshness, and lightness—suspend the present moment, experienced as a gift.

 

Le Fournil

Since 2024, we have taken great pleasure in baking our sourdough breads in our bakery. This sourdough starter, which ferments our doughs for more than 24 hours, gives them wonderful aromas, a touch of acidity, and a long shelf life of more than 5 days.

Our sourdough breads are available for purchase with pickup on site.
