So a friend and I went to L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon on a whim a coupla weeks ago. We needed somewhere to eat near Holborn and it was the first suggestion. Thank God we heeded this piece of fabulous advice!
Everything was on point – from the 3 layer fois gras, port reduction and parmesan foam amuse bouche (amaaazing!) to my mini fois gras and beef Robuchon burgers (deeelicious) I lapped up every single thing that was presented to me like a french piglette!
I must apologise to my dinner date who was not amused by the random noises I made whilst lapping EVERYTHING up; it came from a place beyond normal dinner etiquette… The food is seriously out of this world!
Apart from the world renowned purée potatoes which had me squealing like a giddy little girl, my favourite dish of the evening was dessert – Chocolat Tendance – Creamy Manjari chocolate, bitter chocolate sorbet and Oreo cookie crumb. I don’t think there are any non-orgasmic-related adjectives to describe the culinary delight. So I’ll just say it. It was orgasmic!
Without sounding like the star-crossed Joël Robuchon-obsessed diner that I quite obviously am(!), I would strongly recommend the restaurant! From the amazing food we ordered, to the plethora of in-between-surprises such as the pre-dessert raspberry coulis, pancotta and butter crumble cup and post-dessert petit fours, the evening was a foodie’s dream. I can’t comment on the price as I was lucky enough to be treated, but whatever it costs, it would have been well worth it. 2 Michelin Stars baby! I’ll definitely be returning…
Délicieux!
