I went to Victor for their Iron Chef experience dinner, which was very unique and fun.
Iron Chef at experience at Victor Restaurant allows you put their chefs to the test based on the way they incorporate one theme ingredient into their dish. The group I was with selected a theme ingredient which had to be incorporated into every course (each course prepared by a different chef). Our group had to judge each course based on the way the theme ingredient was incorporated, the originality, etc, and select the best chef at the end of the night. And our theme ingredient was chocolate!
The restaurant itself isn't large. It has a very intimate atmosphere and inviting decor. We booked the entire venue for the occasion (group of 50), which was a corporate event. I believe the restaurant sits around 50-60.
I was quite sceptical about the whole experience at first given that our theme ingredient wasn't something that comes to mind when I think of a main course or even an appetizer but it turned out to be exceptional. The chefs at Victor were truly creative and didn't lack in originality.
We started off with a cauliflower soup with white chocolate - simply wow!
The second course was deconstructed tuna taco with chocolate beans. This dish is offered as part of their regular menu - minus the side of chocolatey beans. Tuna was very fresh and it literally melted in my mouth. They serve it with chips, Guac, beans and other typical sides. Everything tasted really well and the chocolate beans really pulled all the flavours together.
Our main was a lamb dish which was impressive and very innovative. This course was not party of their regular menu hence I will not go into detail.
Lastly, we finished off with a superb chocolate mousse dessert which was very delightful, perfectly sweet (not bitter sweet).
Each course was paired with a glass of wine from their regular wine list. Although their wine list is quite short and their selection of wine by the glass is quite limited, the wine that was offered was of good quality and I really enjoyed it. There was a white Austrian white which I particularly liked.
Overall the Iron Chef dinner is a unique way to celebrate a special occasion (ie engagement party) or entertain clients and provides an unparalleled experience with a wow factor. I highly recommend Victor's team for your next corporate event or your special occasion. Your guests will be wowed!
