Today, I’m taking you to one of Asia’s most luxurious 3-Michelin star restaurants.
This is Joël Robuchon au Dôme in Macau. The menu costs 560 dollars.
Joel Robuchon was one of the most influential chefs in the world, and nothing proves that better than the fact that he was named Chef of the Century.
Today, we’re here to taste his legacy.

Love the piano and the music!
Hungarian oligarch, no thanks…..
Robuchon has been dead for quite some time now.
The Moment I See you I have to 🤮🤮🤮 . But to hear your Voice is Even more sickening 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Thank you for your honesty and confirm that most of us indeed prefer a nice big juicy piece of chicken and a creamy puree when it really comes down to it. And I think such a dish actually ask more of a kitchen than something that looks like a science experiment. Because to make something simple like that stand out cant be easy. Love it!
Thank you for bringing my Macau 🇲🇴 with us! My dream for many years is to try this restaurant but the life did not give me the chance yet.
Hopefully by 2025-2026 I could have a chance to book and enjoy the dinner there!❤❤❤
This is a good metaphor for where countries are globally right now. I almost feel sad for Asians, esp. the Chinese here. Europeans and especially Americans overdid capitalism and invented luxury that was useless, harmful for the environment, and difficult to justify. They can't sell it at home anymore, so they target the Asian market and sell them a secondhand version of luxury. Many Americans look at this kind of "opulence" for what it is, soulless excess. We learned that only nouveau riche people buy into brands and labels. That actual rich people aren't insecure that way. They wear hand-me-downs. Real luxury is going to a really good bed and breakfast where they make what you like. Not eating pounds of caviar and dots on dots that don't taste of anything because its Robuchon.
But, the Chinese are flocking to this and other luxury brands because that is what they are being told success is. And good for them, fifty years ago, they were starving. But, they also haven't felt the emptiness all of this "luxury" will inevitably leave them with. They are where the US was 100 years ago. The reality is the Americans have left it and are interested in the kind of artisan wisdom and craftsmanship that China was (and is turning its back on). I would pay an arm and a leg for hand crafted Da Hang Pao. Chinese handcrafted tea with the wisdom of millenia. A pound of that would run about $600 like the price of this meal…except that's about 600 cups of tea, or a dollar a cup…less than coca-cola.
But, here we have this European dandy being like "look guys!!! It's expensive." But, his "MTV Cribs" approach is dated, the food here is dated. America doesn't have a middle class anymore. We can't afford this or houses, so anything tangible matters. I'm not impressed, I know how this story ends (how the 1990s ended). This guy should too. But, who can blame him, he's a white guy with an overpriced product to sell. I'm not interested in your style…bring me substance. The saddest thing about it all…going to a country with a food culture as rich as China…and pretending you're in Paris.
Amazing. Those wines! A dream come true. I was so happy to see you didn’t hold back this time. How else can we live vicariously through your channel. Thank you for taking us along 💯
I, also, occasionally find myself in situations like this. Unfortunately, I still haven't figured out how to pay for the 2-3 bottles of 1996 Krug and a couple "by the glass" selections. C'est comme ça.
One of your best videos.
Living vicariously. Cheers to epicure eats🥂✨🤩
Haha, me watching it easting some 2$ breakfast. I am broke af but 1 day i ll be there
What an amazing restaurant 🔥😊
power of money can capital
Could you please try Michelin star restaurants inspired by Asian cuisines? I Love your content but I feel like the restaurants you try mainly revolve around food inspired by European cuisines
if this were 1850s this guy would be visiting plantations and judging how well the slaves built them, the food they grew and cooked for him and complimenting the plantation owner
As a Macanese, I can confirm that this is tru
I thought my $10 lunches where expensive! I won't complain about it again! This dinner is fancy! Imagine have it every week for $500.
Food is horrible here,overly decadent,overly rich,over the top presentation,rubbish.
560$…my rent,water,light,medicine for 5months,..imagine a wish come true ,like a blessing ,miracle
Looks shit
Today i ate blad soup and stale bread
I am still waiting for someone to do a chain tasting restaurant. I feel like it's a niche that could take off. Imagine $90 per person which includes two mediocre wine glasses, and a cheap ingredient but well executed 6 course meal, targeting a 90 minute eating time.
STUPID
Nice … while I watch this I eat some cheetos and imagine how great it he meal is
Barstard (In the nicest possible way)
SUPER NICE!
Whoever edits these videos never fails to set the perfect tone with the subtle yet energetic beat-driven music to match the vibe of the restaurant.
This is to say, can you please provide a credit section in the description for the music you use in your videos? I am particularly in love with that little snip bit of a song used between 1:10 and 1:44. Perfect song to pull interest into the high level extravagance of the hotel. If anyone knows this song, PLEASE tell me!
I have white trash taste buds and there is not one thing on that table I would eat. I’m kinda sad for me.
Alexander, what is the background music at 0:50? It's wonderful
Why is fine dining like this dying according to you?
Wonderful.
One of my bucket list is to eat over the Robuchon all over the world
dYquem is not on the bill?
hi from Paris! so glad you apreciate Joel Robuchon's reciepes! Bon appetit biensûr!
Looks really exquisite but still paying USD2.300,00 for 2 is a lot of money. But when you have a business and can deduct ….
Millefoglie is Italian
Dang now I want Mcdonalds
I love your content! I have a question: why do you speak with a different accents during the voice over? Your english is completely different while you talk at the table. Am I just tripping?
Meanwhile, I had a wonderful dinner for 580 Baht I will never forget.
My only objection to dining and wining like this, is that I’m unable to enjoy nightlife afterwards.
How the F did you get a magnum Krug 1996 for $685 there???
DAMN that is one good offer, would have also gone for that!
2k to 10k for wine, yeah rich people really are embarassing
Great timing on the video, I’m going to Joel Robuchon in a few weeks – las vegas location, how does it compare? (Food/menu mostly)? Even more excited 🎉
Its nice beimg rich..u can complain about paint on a plate being chipped😂😂😂
Why do you speak so strangely? Youre forcing an accent you clearly cannot control and its just awfully distracting, just speak like normal rather than pretending to have this "fake snobby" accent
