L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon

My husband thought it odd that I made reservations at L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon. Just because it's a French restaurant in Hong Kong? I loved Joel Robuchon in Las Vegas, so why not?


L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon is located at 15 Queen's Road in Central.


If you want to have the 4-course prix fixe, you have to sit at the counter. Otherwise, there are a few tables in the restaurant. You'll be offered bottle water but you can ask for tap water. The bottled water was HK$98 ($12.50) per 750 ml.


The bread basket is my favorite thing at Joel Robuchon. It included bacon baguette, mini baguette brioche, chestnut bread, comte breadcroissant, croissant roll, saffron bread, spinach bread, tomato bread and walnut bread. My favorites were the bacon baguette and comte bread. Amazing!


The 4-course prix fixe was HK$1230 ($157). We were served an amuse bouche--Foie Gras Cream with Chicken Stock Gelee, Corn Veloute and Popcorn.


The first course was Le Caviar Imperial--King Crab Meat with Sologne Imperial Caviar. The white dollops were Cauliflower Cream and Chlorophyll.


2nd course was Pan-Fried French Red Mullet Filet with Bouillabaise. I forgot to get a picture of it.


The 3rd course was Free Range Quail with Foie Gras, served with Mashed Potatoes. The mashed potato was the most amazing thing--loaded with butter and smooth as silk.


Dessert was Coconut Vacherin with Mango & Passion Fruit Tartare & Lime.


Mignardise of Lemon Macaron, Vanilla Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, Madeleines,


We even got a sweet treat to take home.
