A great dining experience with an amazing view. The whole place was very decadent and it looked great and the staff were suberb and very helpful. But the overall feel was like we were eating in China. Most of the customers here should be from the mainland so I think there were small touches here and there (like the table ornaments) that had a very distinct "China" feel to it. The food though was great. Even the bread (foccacia, bacon bread sticks), palette cleansers etc were tasty. And got us so
The food though was great. Even the bread (foccacia, bacon bread sticks), palette cleansers etc were tasty. And got us so excited that by the time my first dish - the soup - was amazing. The foie gras at the bottom to match the soup was great. Could've been a little hotter, but aside from that was perfect.
Next on the list was the guinea fowl which was my choice of the main. It was a lot less than I expected (I thought I'd get the whole bird!), but what i did get was nonetheless, very tasty. Especially when had with the foie gras. One thing I left on the plate though was the brandied cherries - not a big fan - but I wonder what it would have all tasted like together?
For dessert, I had the mille feuille, which had proven popular with other diners on the day, and I was not disappointed. Perfectly flakey in all the right places, and balanced out with a nice vanilla bean ice cream, this was just the right finish to our meal.
Robuchon is a definite must for french food lovers, and for best value, try it out for lunch! The portions may be smaller but you do not lose out on taste!
