Always enjoyed coming to Robuchon from time to time to try their dishes, and since it was my birthday last month, I came here with Miss L to have my belated birthday meal. Arrival & OrderingBooked a table for two at 130pm and was promptly taken to the bar tables upon arrival. For only two people, it's usually unlikely that you sit on tables unless you specifically requested for one.

Arrival & Ordering
Booked a table for two at 130pm and was promptly taken to the bar tables upon arrival. For only two people, it's usually unlikely that you sit on tables unless you specifically requested for one. I personally enjoy sitting at the bar - its more relaxing and you get the full view of the open kitchen and service area. The bar table is in fact nicely decorated and changes with the season.
For their lunch menu, they have 3 different combinations available for you to choose, varying between 3 and 5 courses.
I chose the 4 coursed one, $558.
Food
Started off with their bread basket, composed of 7-8 types of bread. They are freshly baked every day and you can buy most of them at their bakery. The mini baguette is always at high standards, chewy and goes very well with their creamy smooth salted butter. My all time favourite is the savory baguette, with smokey bacon bits twisted in.
Then came the complimentary appetizer - fried rice and tomato ball and an asparagus drink topped with cheese foam. The fried rice ball was an unusual combination, not oily at all and pairs well the tomato basil sauce. The asparagus drink was served cool and had a light/creamy texture to it.
The first appetizer was the Le Petit Pois - French Cream of green pea with lobster jelly, crab and Japanese Kegani marshmallows. Ordered this to mainly try what "Japanese Kegani marshmallows" were like. A cute combination, the smooth pea cream was slightly sweet and went nicely with the crab and jelly.
Since I am a massive fan for aubergine, I ordered L'aubergine - a fine eggplant cream, with soft-boiled egg, 'Iberico' ham and croutons. Mixing the egg yolk with the cream gave the soup an even smoother texture. Shiitake mushroom and the ham adds slight saltiness to the soup, and croutons of course adds a 'crunch' to the soup.
Main course was Le Bar - Grilled sea bass slices with lemon butter, fava beans and French green beans in thyme emulsion. The sea bass was nicely cooked and the lemon butter brought out the fresh flavours of the fish. The beans were clearly very fresh as it had crunchy texture. Pairs greatly with their famous mashed potato - creamy, smooth and buttery. Must have for anyone who visits.
Dessert was heavenly. No lies here. Le Banane - Smooth banana cream with caramel chips and coconut sorbet. The caramel crunch at the button was a surprise, giving the dish an extra crunch texture. Shame that the coconut flavour of the sorbet was covered by the banana cream.
ServiceServes as expected in a fine dining restaurant. Unobtrusive, Observant and Efficient - Served well to provide the usual nice dining experience.
Definitely recommending it to those who want to splurge on well made French dishes or are looking for nice places to celebrate special occasions!
