As a Chef and Meat eater who runs a vegan kitchen myself, this was and had been top of my bucket list for years, so last year I travelled from the uk to eat at EMP, I’d gone for the smaller tasting menu but I explain I was a chef in the email and asked if I could see the kitchen. Not only did they allow me to see the kitchen they gave me the full menu with wine pairings, a $1000 experience of a lifetime complimentary as my email had stood out as so heartfelt. The staff couldn’t be kinder and made it one of the greatest days of my life never to be forgotten. Love the videos, if you could send some tips on starting up, I’d be truly grateful.

What I think in general sets a good vegan restaurant apart from an okay one, is when they dont try to imitate other dishes. I havent had many vegan dishes, but the ones which taste the best are the ones that just do their own thing and embrace the plant based nature of it. Save the imitation meat and cheese, and give me something unique! Seems like EMP is taking that to the stratosphere.

I was debating whether or not I should go there, but after watching the video, count me in. You admit to being a meat and fish lover and you still loved it. You’re a true foodie! I’m surprised at all the “no meat” comments. I’m by no means a vegan or vegetarian but I probably eat 5-6 vegetarian/vegan meals per week (with IF, I skip breakfast and eat a total of 14 meals a week) Just because a dish doesn’t contain meat doesn’t mean it’s not good or delicious. Hello, ice cream is vegetarian, and French fries are vegan and those are some of the best things to eat on earth! LOL As for the price, it’s a fine dining restaurant so you’re paying for the food, service, and ambiance. I’m a trained chef and I know that, to make that food, it takes a LOT of care and effort! And you have to use the best quality ingredients.

Hey James big fan have watched all your videos for a while now, I was curious do you plan on doing a review of any of the 3 michelin star sushi / omakase restaurants sometime in the future, there are quite a few in New York, Sushi Sho and Yoshino being 2 examples of these.
@Jamesnu20 күн бұрын
I would like to do more sushi/omakase restaurants, but they can be extremely expensive, very difficult to film, and they don't get the best views, which is why I've been holding off on making them. I do plan to visit one sushi place in the near future however.

Best restaurant in the world award in 2017... when it wasn't plant-based. :X Great video though! Loved how there was absolute no use of imitation meat products. Simply allowing vegetables, fruits--plants for that matter, to shine through in their natural state. Would love to experience this for myself if I had some extra discretionary money!

Went there 4 times when they had meat and it was worth every penny. Now that it's vegan I can't justify the high price. Downhill once Will Guerda left in 2019

Agreed. The vegan dishes look good and it's very impressive they achieve this level with such a restriction but there are well over 50 starred restaurants I'd sooner visit at this price point. And nobody should take the World's 50 Best list too seriously.

@Bragglord ya. Taken with a grain of salt.

@@adamrasmussen7379 a bucket of salt. There are entries on that top 50 list every year that aren't top 50 in their own country, never mind the world. It's an elite dining fad list.

Now I'm jealous; I can't wait for an opportunity to experience the restaurant myself, & I won't be shy about bread shrapnel:)
