Gourmet Forest and Michelin double 3 stars
[Booking]
I made a reservation on the same day. I was very confused to see that the comments all made reservations 1-2 months in advance! I made a reservation at 7:30 on Friday night, but the occupancy rate was not high. It was not that I was too lucky, or the friends who commented thought that this restaurant was too difficult to book. In fact, to be honest, Robuchon is a little out of date.
[Price]
I ordered about 500 RMB per person for drinks, which cost about 2,000 RMB per person after deducting the per capita cost. You can learn from it.
[Taste]
I gave it 4 stars, but I originally wanted to give it 3 stars. The reason is,
First, the menu of each Robuchon store is almost the same. I have eaten at least 7 Robuchons, and almost all the dishes are repeated. There is nothing special that makes me feel surprised;
Second, in terms of taste, compared with the Robuchons in Vegas and Tokyo, this one does not taste good and does not surprise me, so it will be given Michelin 3 stars. I can only say that this is a French restaurant that is very standard and very orthodox, with no minefields from appetizers to desserts.
After the death of chef Robuchon, I don't know how long this legend in the French restaurant world can last.
[Environment and Service]
The environment and service of this restaurant are absolutely first-class, impeccable. The sommelier is very humorous, and the wines he recommends are also very professional and easy to drink. There are also waiters who can speak Mandarin, Cantonese, English, Portuguese, Korean, Portuguese, and French.
[Crystal Chandelier and Dome]
The full score is 5 points, I would like to give 6 points. This restaurant is called Au Dome, which means dome in French. It uses the dome of ancient Rome, and it is really spectacular with tens of thousands of Austrian Swarovski crystals hanging below.
On the 43rd floor, when I opened the elevator door, I saw an old man playing a grand piano. It looks like the scene where the male and female protagonists propose to each other in Korean dramas.
[Dishes]
1. Appetizer
"Bun" is delicious. Because every Robuchon restaurant provides almost the same selection of bread for the meal, it is very easy to highlight the cooking skills of the chef. I have to admit that the chef's bread-making skills are indeed better than most Robuchon restaurants, and they are several blocks away from the Shanghai restaurants.
"Freshwater crayfish waffles" have a strong taste. Suitable for friends with strong tastes. For me, the spice taste is too strong.
"Caviar king crab tower with seafood jelly" is the signature dish of every Robuchon.
"Crispy fried tender boiled eggs with caviar and smoked salmon" is also the most famous dish of Robuchon.
2. Main course
Both main courses are quite satisfactory.
"Fried French cod" has just the right amount of fat and is very tender, but it doesn't feel amazing. The price is very beautiful, 300+ Macau dollars.
"Grilled Japanese Saga Wagyu" A4 Saga Wagyu, I asked for medium, and the gravy popped out after a few bites. The mouth is full of fresh gravy, and I feel very happy eating it.
[Dessert]
Although the Japanese lemon souffle has a good balance of sweetness and sourness, compared with the 8 1/2 souffle that melts in your mouth, Robuchon's is slightly inferior.
