We went to L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon a while ago to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and totally in love with it. The ambiance, the service, and of course the food, be it the presentation or the taste, everything is so excellently executed! The 4-course meal costs about $200 per person.After taken our order, the waitor bring us a basket of assorted bread, inclusive croissant, multi-grains bread, as well as the flowery-looking bun.L'Amuse Bouche of the meal is Foie gras custard with red Porto
After taken our order, the waitor bring us a basket of assorted bread, inclusive croissant, multi-grains bread, as well as the flowery-looking bun.
L'Amuse Bouche of the meal is Foie gras custard with red Porto wine and parmesan foam. This is quite a signature dish of the restaurant. The very bottom layer is the foie gras custard, very rich yet not too overwhelmed with greasiness. The wine and cheesy foam adds on a beautiful twist to it. Love this multi-layered flavours.
King crab on thin layers of turnip with sweet and sour sauce is gorgeous in terms of presentation. The bite size is just right! The generous amount of crab meat is cooked in the creamy sweet sour sauce with a hint of spiciness. Thumbs up!
Green asparagus with boiled egg and Iberico ham is so colourful. Mix the runny egg yolk with everything else in the plate. tThe saltiness of the ham is well-balanced by the egg yolk. This dish is simply delicious.
Our main course is Foie gras filled free-range quail with mashed potatoes. The staff served us two additional bowl of mashed potatoes, and sort of 'warning' us on how addictive we could get with their mashed potatoes. You know what? He is indeed so right!! The mashed potatoes is creamy and smooth, very rich and flavourful! I fell in love with it! However, let's not forgeting the quail. One bite into the quail flesh, the foie gras filling inside sort of bursting into your mouth, and all the flavour just rushed in. This signature dish is definitely an A+ grade!
It's finally dessert time! The sphere coated with ivory chocolate is served before the staff pouring the tangy raspberries sauce over it. The sphere cracked open on the spot, revealing the raspberries gelato inside! It's an art on the plate! Awesome taste!
The meal ends with Coffee escorted by a sweets. Love the macaroon, good texture and flavour!
It's definitely a top dining pleasure eating at L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon. Yummy food and great service. Do ask for the bar table where you can see how your dinner is prepared.
