we saved l'atelier de joel robuchon for our last night in vegas and it was an incredible dining experience through and through - from the impeccable service to the exquisite presentation of every course! the service counter has the best seats in the house and gives you a great vantage point to watch the talented chefs work their magic.
our seasonal discovery menu included the following (keep in mind the menu changes from time to time, so you likely will not have the same exact lineup):
1. l'amuse bouche - foie gras parfait with port wine reduction and parmesan emulsion
2. la joue - beef cheek salad seasoned with wasabi vinaigrette and herbs
3. le homard - lobster tempura with guacamole and lime
4. l'oeuf de poule - semi soft boiled egg on a carbonara of pearl pasta with smoked bacon and green asparagus
5. la ricotta - herb imprinted ricotta tortellini pasta in a dashi broth
6. le bar - sea bass "en croute" with ginger butter cabbage and porcini mushrooms
7. la caille - caramelized quail stuffed with foie gras served with potato puree
8. la meringue - nougat semifreddo in toasted meringue with lemon sorbet
9. le chocolat - soft baked chocolate, creamy caramel, pretzel rocher and guinness ice cream
there was also a complimentary dessert at the end, which were financiers with a tart berry preserve. no worries, you will be very well-fed by the end of it all! it was a wonderful way to spend our last few waking hours in vegas!
