This is high cuisine, in the skill of balancing three dominating elements, which fought each other, but also created one consistent taste at the same time. The super intense shellfish soup had left my throat on the verge of drying out, and it easily matched the soft red which I had opted to wash down with. A masterclass, well tensioned in the palate, classical flavours, but surprisingly light in terms of mouthfeel. Very exciting stuff, and probably worth a star or maybe even two. As I said, this was definitely the best lobster based soup I had had all year round, and that includes The Square, La Trompette and even Pierre Koffman.

I'm waiting for my lunch and your post is making me even more hungry ;-) The soufflé looks AMAZING! Would love to know how they made it so perfect looking and with the ice cream.
