As the most celebrated upscale restaurants in Las Vegas, legendary French chef Joel Robuchon delivers two world-class dining institutions at the MGM Grand Hotel--the 3 Michelin star Joel Robuchon at the Mansion for exquisite French fine dining, and L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon for a more casual and inventive dining experience. Boasting 26 Michelin stars to his name, more than any other chef in the world, chef Robuchon has transported his highly successful upscale dining concept from Paris to Las Vegas. At the 3-Michelin star Joel Robuchon at the Mansion, settle into the plush purple velvet lounges beneath the Swarovski chandeliers and prepare to be taken on an exquisite culinary journey. Diners can either opt for the indulgent 16-course Tasting Menu for US$425 per person, or construct your own menu from the a la carte selection. Expect delicacies such as lobster cooked in a sealed cocotte with morilles and asparagus; and open ravioli of matsutake with white truffle and ginger infused matsutake tea. Next door, discover L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon, described as a “culinary workshop” where diners sit around U-shaped tables directly overlooking the kitchen. Watch the black-clad chefs constructing exquisite tapas-style creations, such as ‘La Caille au Foie Gras’ (free-range quail stuffed with foie gras), and ‘Le Rumsteack en Tartare’ (Steak Tartar) served with traditional French fries. The service is highly professional, the wine list expertly curated, and the price tag indulgent.
