Tried the $268 "express" set lunch rom the "L'unique" menu for the first time recently, and believe that I should stick with the traditional menus from now on... since I'm almost never in a hurry when I decide to dine at Robuchon. $268 for a MEAL at Robuchon may sound like a very good deal, but the difference in quality (and quantity) of this "express" type lunch and the next-cheapest-option priced at $390 is actually disproportionate, especially if you expect to have tea/coffee after your meal
Although nothing in the particular "express lunch" that I had was *bad* , nothing excited my palette (both gustatively and visually) as typical Robuchon meals (from club menus/ tasting menus) did in the past. The fact that everything from starter to dessert was served together in the form of a cheap Japanese "teishoku" made me feel that the meal itself wasn't even worth the supposedly good-value price of $268. I did not even feel like I had a meal at "Robuchon"!
In short, choosing the express menu defeats the purpose of dining at Robuchon, unless you simply adore the "name" Robuchon that much and insist on going even when you are in an extreme hurry. I'd definitely prefer paying the extra hundred something for a MUCH better meal served beautifully from i.e. the club menu. If you were in such a rush that you couldn't afford not saving time with an express lunch, you should go to McDonald's instead! All in all for the level of presentation & quality of dishes in the express lunch, you can probably get the same for half the price elsewhere. In conclusion, I do not recommend it
