Troisgros Le Central

About

Troisgros Le Central is a family‑run fine‑dining restaurant that opened in 1995 in the heart of Roanne, just opposite the train station. Designed as a light, elegant space inspired by the 1960s kitchen‑brasserie style of the Troisgros family, the venue focuses on simple home‑style French cuisine. The menu showcases dishes such as a tart with onion and dried chanterelles, a flat omelette generously filled with Fourme d’Ambert, and a signature salmon fillet presented with a Chinese‑style sauce. The restaurant also offers high‑quality products – notably the so‑called “judion,” a large white bean that is a local specialty – that guests can purchase worldwide. Le Central celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2015, solidifying its reputation as a warm, understated spot that showcases the culinary heritage of the Troisgros family while maintaining a casual yet refined atmosphere.
