The MGM Grand Hotel & Casino’s Joël Robuchon Restaurant has just unveiled its newest menu, a sumptuous 18-course offering brought all the way over from Robuchon’s establishment in Bordeaux, France.
Chef Joël Robuchon has called this menu, overseen by Executive Chef Claude Le-Tohic and Executive Pastry Chef Salvatore Martone, one of the greatest he has ever created. The first course includes a carpaccio of foie gras and potatoes covered with black truffle shavings, a Scottish salmon confit coated with Osetra caviar and a wasabi cream, and a main lobster in a thinly sliced turnip with sweet and sour dressing. Afterwards comes a black truffle tart with confit onions and smoked bacon, a pan fried egg with pearl rice and black truffle, and frog leg fritters with garlic purée and parsley coulis will be served.
The mouthwatering feast continues with truffled langoustine ravioli with simmered green cabbage, a seared diver sea scallop served with kumquat and caviar, and a medley of aromatic herbs in an exotic broth. And to round things off, the final course includes sea urchin atop a purée of fennel and potato with citrus jus, caramelized black cod in a Malabar black pepper sauce with pak choy and spiny lobster grilled with a green curry jus and fresh coriander. And these are just the opening dishes!
The main course is Châteaubriand beef, topped with foie gras and rolled in black truffles with Porto sauce and purée de pomme de terre. Finally, if all of this wasn’t enough, a bread and dessert trolley wanders around the restaurant carrying 40 types of sweets and chocolates. Wine pairings, hand-picked by Joël Robuchon Restaurant Wine Director William Moss, are also available upon request.
Prices for this opulent meal start at $445 per person.
