| - L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon is a French tapas and entree restaurant. You may order a la carte, prex fixe (Pre Theater, Menu A, or Menu B), or tasting menu. The Pre-Theater Menu is $55/person, includes Amuse-Bouche and 2 Menu Choices, and is available from 5:00pm-6:30pm. The Menu A Option is $98/person and includes Amuse-Bouche, 3 Menu Choices, and 1 Dessert Selection. The Menu B Option is $126/person and includes Amuse-Bouche, 4 Menu Choices, and 1 Dessert Selection. I highly recommend sitting at the chef's counter, where award-winning dishes are sliced, diced and sautéed to perfection, if spots are open.
After placing our order, our server gave us two baskets of bread and butter. In the bread basket, there were four kinds of bread - baguette, boule, cheesy bread roll, and puff pastry-croissant like roll.
In addition to still and sparkling water, most of the party ordered glasses of red, rose, and white wine. However, if you don't want a non-alcoholic beverage, I'd highly recommend La Myrtille (The Blueberry), which consisted of a nice blend of pomegranate juice and ginger beer over ice and garnished with lemon peel wrapped fresh blueberries.
Among the party of five, I got to try a variety of small tasting and large portions. Everything I had was nicely presented and delicious. We started with an Amuse-Bouche, which consisted of foie gras parfait with port wine and parmesan foam.
(1) Les Legumes - seasonal vegetable medley (baby greens, frisee, avocado, and tomatoes) with Spanish virgin olive oil
(2) Le Maquereau - marinated mackerel with potato "millefeuille" and Caspian Ossetra caviar
(3) Les Langoustines - two pieces of crispy langoustine fritter over basil pesto and served with frisee tossed in a lemon vinaigrette
(4) Le Jambon - thinly sliced "Ilberico de Bellota" ham with toasted tomato bread (tartines)
(5) Le Burger - sesame seed slider buns with beef and foie gras patty with sauteed bell peppers served with spiced worcheshire sauce and crinkle cut french fries
(6) Le Crabe Royal - king crab in a salad of greens, avocados, tomatoes, and fresh mozzarella and garnished with crispy thin flavored wonton wrappers
(7) Le Homard Du Maine - spiced Maine lobster over spaghetti rustichella pasta
(8) Le Bar - seared Atlantic seabass crusted in celery leaves over diced beets in a citrus (kumquat)-beet reduction
(9) La Lotte - monkfish blanquette with smoked bacon and young vegetables (leeks and mushrooms) in a creamy white sauce and garnished with a seaweed cracker
(10) La Mangue - doubled glass with mango mousse served with coconut sorbet and almond cake and garnished with a flower candy.
(11) Le Cafe - coffee "coperaco" ice cream and chantilly with a chocolate sable
We ended our meal with Pistachio Raspberry Financer. I loved how it was moist.
