| - I really want to eat at Le Robin Square but I just cannot make myself and my travel mate to wait for 2 hours?! Some advanced planning we ended up coming here just when the door opened and got seated right away.
The restaurant has a nice and homey feel. Just like eating at some one house. The menu is limited in selection which I love.
Foie Gras Mi-Cuit and Dried Duck Magret ($25) - White Port Wine Foie Gras from Rougie, Gin and Blueberry Magret, Citrus Marmelade, Ginger Spiced Bread
Beet Salad ($18) - Red and yellow beets, Peningouin Cheese, Oro Nobil White Balsamic, Abbae Olive Oil, White Truffle Oil, Caramelized Walnuts
Calamari Inspired by my Friend Jonathan Lanciault ($40) - Calamari Cooked Sous-Vide 5 hour, saffron and tarrragon risotto, lobster mushrooms, smoked chorizo, fava beans, fresh tomatoes, shredded parmesan, Pont Blanc Cheese Mousse, fried plantains and pumpernickel bread
The Ultimate Experience ($34) - Brined, smoked and braised Nagano Pork Belly, Truffle Celery-Root Puree, Pear and Apricot Jam and Wine and Maple Syrup Albufera
A lot of interesting elements in all the dish we ordered. Most of them was a hit. I am though so so with Sous-Vide Calamari when compared to the sides which were so good on the same plate. And at $40?
At this price point, I do have my doubts for a repeat visit. But it is at least worth a try as I do understand a lot of attention and time and prep work was used to prepare every single dish.
