An iconic dessert by Joel Robuchon, popularized and replicated by other restaurants and patisserie. The green apple is a delicately constructed from creme fraiche, cinnamon flavoured apple jelly and apple jam.

Caramelized black cod with bok choy and Malabar black pepper sauce. One of the most enjoyable item in the menu. Good doesn't need superlatives... simply excellent. P.S. pardon my ignorance, but is this the only dish on the menu in English.

What a luxurious starter complimentary of the restaurant. The crisp bread sandwiched a generous filling of the succulent crustacean and the creamy uni. Perfect starter to an incredible meal. Can't wait.

Another view of this remarkable steak at the right doneness it's Rubuchon at its best!

Enchanting presentation of the turbot fillet in a basil and artichoke reduction, served with raw artichoke and grilled artichoke slices - really got my appetite going. But this turns out to be a disappointing dish. Texture of the turbot is a little too taut and lacks the usual tenderness of the sole. The reduction is more tangy than what I would have liked. The fennel and parsley did everything it could to bring this to a grand finale.

King crab and avocado cannelloni, citrus and vanilla condiments.

I love my cheese. Epoisses, Brebirousse d'Argental, Tome de Laguiole and Roquefort.

I would have loved to name this dish as "Secret Garden of the Curry Elves". The beautifully plated Les Entrees Chaudes (warm appetizer) is enchantingly beautiful with each eggplant confit in fine aromats complemented by 3 types of curry : red, orange and yellow. Appreciating each bite as I take, I almost imagined myself in a "honey I shrunk the kid" fantasy of losing myself running amongst the vegetation in this secret curry garden.

Appetizer I would die for. These days appetizers like this makes me happier than the mains and desserts combined.
