*******UPDATE NOW CLOSED*******Twist By Pierre Gagnaire is a fine dining French Restaurant located on the 23rd floor of The Waldorf Astoria in the middle of the Las Vegas Strip. They offer a variety of menus. We went with the four course vegetarian tasting menu and it was like OUT OF THIS WORLD FORKING AMAZING….Like from another planet. It was one of the very best meals I ever had.
The dining room is sort of like dining under the stars with all those hanging lights..The tables are covered in linen and silverware actually looks like silver and not stainless steal.
My table has a view of the Las Vegas Strip.
They started us off with a whole bunch of amuse bouche.
They were all so thrilling and delicious and then it gets even better.
We get a baguette and this incredibly delicious bread that’s made from charcoal and apricots…..The butters that go with them are extra delicious too. The butters are hand churned French Butter and one butter is slightly spicy from Piment d’ Espelette.
First course for me is called Quinoa.
It taste as amazing as it looks. It’s made of red quinoa salad, avocado, pineapple mousse, coconut and marigolds. All the flavors are MIND-BLOWING!
My husband isn’t a big fan of quinoa and asked to exchange his starter for different one and got the Zezette Bouillon.
It’s also pretty as a picture…..I can see this on my wall somewhere. It’s made of pumpkin gnocchi, oyster mushroom, and a ricotta croquette.
Next for me was the Bell Pepper.
It’s crispy sun chokes, leeks bell peppers, mascarpone and sauce pitchi. So many flavors that it is impossible to describe…..
We added on the risotto special with white alba truffles and it was served with our main entree the Autumn Vol-au-vant.
We started with the risotto.
OMG it’s Forking amazing! These truffles are super flavorful. It’s bursting with so much flavor and then when you hit the parmesan tuile…it just pops a little more. This is the FORKING BEST Truffle dish I ever tasted!
The Autumn Vol-Au-Vant is also amazing. It’s made with onion cream, celeriac, turmeric cauliflower, Swiss chard, soy beans and quince puree. I don’t know how they made this but it taste so FORKING wonderful.
Then we get a palate cleanser.
OMG even the palate cleanser is FORKING delicious……..It has so many flavors…..raspberry sorbet, fennel, another MIND BLOWING PLATE!…..I could be done now.
Then we get three desserts each.
These are all CRAZY crazy CRAZZZZZZZZZY good….The little one on the bottom is some sort of lemon curd marshmallow and topped with a really delicious cream and topped thin milk crisps. To the right is a layered chocolate cake with a fig and really great chocolate on top of it with little gel fruit cubes…..But the thing in the glass was SUPER AWESOME FORKING MIND BLOWING….You crack the edible cube open and all kinds of flavors make your brain go bonkers…..There was pomegranate, grapefruit, I think Thai basil, Lemongrass and others I can’t remember….
Then we got surprised with another plate of very detailed amuse bouche…..all desserts.
The layer cakes are thimble sized painstakingly made opera cakes, the ones that look like pears on crackers are passionfruit cakes, little cubes are fruit gels and the chocolate is very intense with a nut….
Twist by Pierre Gagnaire in Las Vegas was astonishing as astonishing gets.
