For a day after my favourite activity (shopping), mum and I had dinner at Robuchon. We chose the salon de thé for a lighter meal rather than the fourth floor restaurant. We placed our orders at the café counter and took our seats overlooking the atrium of the Landmark. To begin with, we were given two baby brioches and a herb parmesan cheese roll. "Le cheese burger de Kagoshima, pommes frites" ($160)The baby burger with the small cup of fries was certainly cute. The bun was a sesame seed brioche

"Le cheese burger de Kagoshima, pommes frites" ($160)
The baby burger with the small cup of fries was certainly cute. The bun was a sesame seed brioche, and we ordered the burger to be medium-well but the beef was well overcooked and dried out....nothing like the fatty and juicy Kagoshima (Wagyu) we expected and the menu claimed to be...for all we know it could've been anything! The saving grace of the dish was the fries - they were fresh, skinny and crisp as they should be.
"Le black cod mariné au saké et mirin, sauce au miso" ($190)
The piece of black cod was very well glazed with the miso marinade and perfectly cooked. I prefer black cod to cod because the flesh is teeny tiny bit firmer and lingers on your tongue longer than the cod fillet which basically melts straight away.
On the side was a tiny eggplant roll with bonito shavings on top, and a bit of sauce on the side for the fish, which was necessary because the fish itself even though coated in the brown sauce it wasn't salty enough for the insides.
"mashed potatoes"
The cod also came with a mini cup of mashed potatoes. This was same as the one we had upstairs, very silky smooth and rich, definitely for potato-lovers.
Apart from the overcooked beef patties the meal was quite enjoyable, though I think I better stick to le salon for tea, pastries and sandwiches in the future....
