Dinner at Robuchon

Tonight, my sister and brother in law treated us to an amazing dinner at Le Jardin de Joel Robuchon. I have been wanting to try their restaurants out forever, but never had the chance yet! We got a small private dining room which worked out perfectly with the kids, as we didn’t have to restrict them to their chairs the entire time. I really wanted to try their tasting menu, but it didn’t seem feasible to ask the kids to sit through a 4 hour dinner, so I will have to go back another time with Alan on our own to try that…maybe in Vegas?

Everything was absolutely, amazingly delicious! I ordered the foie gras mini burgers as my appetizer, and the slow cooked duck breast and foie gras garnished with season’s fruits for my entree. Both were fantastic! We ordered a variety of desserts to share, and they were all very decadent, yum!

This was suppose to be a picture of Alan and I, but the kids playfully sneaked into the frame! Too cute!

I love how Bridgette likes to press her face against mine when I ask her to take a picture with me!

My foie gras sliders, super yummy!

The kids even got a little surprise gift–sponge cake from Robuchon to take home with them!
