Joël Robuchon at the Mansion
Cuisine: FrenchChef of the Century Joël Robuchon’s first foray into the U.S. fine dining market is the Joël Robuchon at the Mansion which is one of the best restaurants in Las Vegas. Upon entering the Joël Robuchon at the Mansion, the diner is transported to the ambience of the roaring 20’s of Paris glamour. Joël Robuchon boasts five stars from Mobile and three stars from Michelin – one of only six restaurants in the U.S. with the elusive Michelin three stars – with his six- and sixteen-course seasonal degustation menus with various combinations of soups, appetizers, main courses, cheeses, and desserts. The attention to detail and perfection includes importing French flour for their spectacular breads such as classic baguettes, ficelle, and pain d’epice. Joël Robuchon at the Mansion Executive Chef Claude Le Tohic produces artistic dishes that are made with multiple layers and each with a distinct flavor yet complementing the other. His millefuille of Dungeness crab, crème fraîche and tomatoes has become a signature starter dish. His extensive use of foam such as lemongrass, Parmesan cheese, and saffron shows his scientific understanding of food and the perfection of the foam in maintaining its viscosity without flowing into a jelly mess. The service staff is non-intrusive but appears invisibly when required thus turning the Joël Robuchon at the Mansion into one of the best restaurants in Las Vegas. |
