L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon
We met up with my parents last weekend in Las Vegas and ate one night at L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon in the MGM Grand casino. Robuchon is widely considered one of the greatest living french chefs, having hung up his toque ten years ago after being the youngest chef to consecutively win 3 michelin stars. A couple of years ago he opened a less formal restaurant in Paris, L’Atelier, where the food was still impeccable but the restaurant was sort of like a sushi bar, with an bar seating and an open kitchen.
He opened another restaurant in Tokyo, and then a pair in Las Vegas (A L’Atelier and a much more formal restaurant that recreates the michelin starred dining experience in the US). My dad and I were both feeling committed, so we went with the 10 course tasting menu.
Every dish was fantastic, but the two that really stood out were the poached baby kumamoto oysters and Robuchon’s signature free range quail stuffed with foie gras and served with truffled potato puree.
It was, without question, the greatest meal I’ve ever eaten.
