UNDERCOVER at Le Bernardin! "World's Best Restaurant" Honest Review

Bro that restaurant is famous most for its sauces and you're just picking up the octopus without soaking up the sauce with it.

[@andrewchiu6226]

The sauce . . . Yup Alexander the Guest would have spat out his drink of Krug if he saw that. But seriously I don't think he understands French cuisine. It is all about perfecting the sauce and harmonizing it with the protein. What he did was like taking a piece of nigiri and picking up the fish without the rice. I do appreciate him trying stuff out of his wheelhouse. If he is still doing these videos years from now, his experience and palette will surely evolve.

[@sann5146]

​​@@andrewchiu6226agree, pity that he was not understanding/liking the sauces! The salmon course - if the sauce is going to contain the salt then the salmon must barely be salted cause you have to mix together. Otherwise dish would become inedible!

FYI, the salmon spread is called salmon rillette... Poached salmon with lemon, herbs, usually butter/sour cream/ mayonnaise or some combination thereof. Basically a better version of butter that you spread on bread as a canape.

[@SeraphimLeo]

UA was served a weird one though, since rillette is a medieval way of preserving meat by coating it in butter, not sure I would want a rillette to be made with mayonnaise. Due to its own overpowering flavor it's hard to elevate mayonnaise in the same way that butter can be elevated. Dishes that are heavy on mayonnaise rarely tend to be more than the sum of their parts whereas herb butters can be fantastically complex. So I can understand why UA was underwhelmed by salmon in mayonnaise.

[@monkeyballs512]

@@SeraphimLeo except that I’m almost certain that UE was wrong that it was actually mayonnaise. I enjoy his videos, but not because he has the most sophisticated palate or offers especially accurate descriptions of what he’s eating

Disagree. Attaining Michelin stars means maintaining standards across the board and treating all guests equally regardless of their ability to pay for the top end menu.

Regarding the octopus Id only add that “the usual” menu consists of more dishes (5-/8-/… plus courses) and therefore 5 pieces of the octopus are a perfect amount of food for that starter-dish.

But even ordering the least expensive Pice Fix lunch menu with choices and only 3 courses should be able to show the quality and presentation and service of a 3 Michelin Star restaurant. You did a fabulous job reviewing especially keeping your head down for the no video or photography rule which makes sense . They don’t want other restaurants copying their signature dishes and plating and garnishment as well as respecting the privacy of their extremely high class under the radar very high net worth and celebrity clientele.

That depends. There are a lot of restaurants dressing up 20$ steaks and charging 100$, so yeah depending on the restaurant there may not be a big difference. But if you know how to cook and educate yourself on the differences in produce and the different cuts there is actually a massive difference between 20$ steaks and 100$ steaks. But a restaurant would charge you 300$ for the latter. I can't imagine not being able to cook.

just a heads up, most fine dining dishes with sauces like this are meant to be eaten with spoons so you get the right portions of sauce etc. unless you’re cutting w a knife and fork with a meat dish or heartier dish that needs cutting etc or turning the fork over and using the knife to slick over a puree that is thicker its different. you would get more of the effect a dish is supposed to have using a spoon far more for most dishes in this realm of dining.

IMO the very best and consistent restaurant in Manhattan. The seafood is prepared unlike any other restaurant I have ever been to and the overall experience is hard to equal. I know the $325 tasting menu is steep, but that is really the sweet spot for LeBernadin. Love the squinting UA

Never been there but love the owner (from Bourdain show) but UA must 'save up' for the full course, NOT the lunch special. Once a year or lifetime splurge is no big deal; not eating there on a regular basis.

@@johnc3886 Agreed. I have gone there 4-5 times in my lifetime and I am my mid 60s. (and have lived around NYC my entire life). Since I am now retired, I won't be back given the price point. It's ok though, as I am glad that I actually went when I could. Stay well and best to you and your family.

[@tunonpuoipassare]

It was a shit review by someone who has a palate of a 8yr old.

Would’ve been a nice contrast to head straight to Gray’s Papaya for a few dogs.

[@RussianNightmare]

Grays Papaya sucks

Different strokes for different folks.

@@th6252 - Yes, Sir. This is very true.
