Chef Guy Savoy of France

Presentation inscription and an autograph

In spring of 2010 I was lucky to visit one of the best restaurants of the USA Guy Savoy in Las Vegas. The restaurant is located in the Caesar’s Palace Complex. Our guide in the restaurant was Ylona who works there as a PR manager. The chef and the owner of the restaurant is the legendary French chef Guy Savoy. To taste his dishes we chose a test Prestige Menu. The menu included more than ten dishes. Our gourmet’s journey around the world of Savoy began with oysters in an ice jelly and was followed by a pickled lobster with summer greenery with an exquisite dressing and a fruit jelly. After the lobster our taste receptors enjoyed three color caviar and sea bass fillet in crusty skin with delicate spices. After the sea bass, foie gras followed in a little envelope made of layered dough, and daikon broth.

That was followed by artichoke cream soup with black truffles and little toasts with pasta made of fried forest mushrooms seasoned with truffle oil. After a glass of good wine we were given baked veal with mashed potatoes, black truffles and young stewed vegetables in a veal sauce. In conclusion, for a dessert we were served chocolate fondue with soft cream praline with chaffed cream and chicory. Four hours of the “gourmet’s journey” flew fast in a company of amiable waiters and sommelier.
