Whatever the case, i like to indulge once in a while and Robuchon being chef of the century and still holds the most combined Michelin stars in the world presently, it is sorta a must try once in my lifetime kinda thing.
The master himself. Pic from the net.
Head chef that mans the fort, been with the master for well over 10-15yrs.
The restaurant itself!
House 3 diff restaurants under the same name. Each different price range.
Imagine walking pass this everyday going out and coming back to hotel. The JR is behind the restaurant another 1.5km walk.
Being right opposite the hotel i stayed in makes it a no brainer also.
Lucky on a very hot season no suit is needed, phew....
Being my first 3* experience i was eagerly waiting what would follow.
From the time i enter the hostess already knew my name
Brought upstairs to the main dining room and seated.
Pics taken with iPhone so not the best quality.
Offered champagne once seated down.
Surroundings.
Menu selection for the night.
No points for guessing which one i took.
Bread and dip offered.
Crispy crust and a very dense bread.
Even carving out the french butter is a spectacle!
Butter didnt even melt during the end of the meal at room temp.
What better way to start off with caviar and with a base of crab meat.
I will leave you to read the fancy menu descriptions in the pic above.
French food with Japanese influence off course.
Uni 3-ways.
Being in a French restaurant and only been given ONE bread?
No way....
Robuchon is famous for its bread basket!
Look at this !!!
No way to even remember the breads after the server explain what each one is.
You tell them which one you want, as many as you want and they will come back with fresh hot ones.
OK typing this out is making me hungry...out to lunch and back with more later.
