| - we came here on a saturday night. the service was attentive and there was so many staff there to wait on everyone! it was a luxurious meal with a bread cart and dessert cart.
i have been to the robuchon in macau twice, once for the 16 course extravaganza and once for lunch and his restaurants are very consistent! the food is delicious and intricate. the decor is a bit over the top and gaudy for my taste.
we started with an amuse. it was a green soup that had ham and i forget what else.
the one in macau had a butter cart as well as a bread cart but a cart full of bread is always a good way to start a meal. they had bacon bread, french bread, milk bread, olive oil bread, cheese bread. any bread you could want!
i had a cold appetizer that was alaskan king crab with avocado and lettuce. delicious! i also tried the uni with asparagus. also delicious!
for the hot appetizer, i had the crispy soft egg. so many textures!
for my main i had shrimp, it was like a confused asian dish. the shrimp, though very fresh and sweet, was covered in a red sauce and the broth underneath was like a tom yum.
while we waited for our last course, the dessert, they gave us a strawberry basil palette cleanser. strawberry and mint or basil go so well together and it was definitely refreshing
i had the chocolate souffle with vanilla ice cream. they brought out the wrong dessert at first and we would have gladly eaten that one too if we didn't know that there was also a dessert cart to top off the night. mini petite fours of macarons, lollies, tarts, caramels, candies.
they sent us home with a lemon cake for breakfast.
i just read they had limo pick up and dropoff but we were not offered that ...
