L’abeille: When French-Japanese Fusion Stings (Literally) 🐝🍽️
Went to L’abeille—Michelin’s honey-themed French-Japanese spot (and future movie star)—for a $250 tasting menu that half delighted, half traumatized. Here’s the raw buzz: 🍯 The Good 🐟 Tuna Crudo: Crispy shell + jelly glaze = texture wizardry. 🦪 Scallop & Caviar: Seared perfection (but bring water for the salt tsunami). 🍓 Strawberry Ice Cream: Post-celery PTSD relief. 🚨 The Bad 🌶️ Celery Popsicle: Apple? Nope. Spicy celery sorbet = culinary jump scare. 🐑 Lamb Sausage: Sneaky gamey (even the basil flowers couldn’t save it). 🍯 The Quirky • Bee motifs: Edible flowers on every dish (🐝 aesthetic slay). • Film set vibes: Materialists shot here (ask for Celine’s table). • Service: Attentive but baffled by our celery rage. Hot Take: 6/10—Beautiful plates, brutal flavor rollercoaster. Your fave NYC fusion spot? Roast this menu below! 👇 #LabeilleNYC #MichelinMadness #CeleryCrime #FrenchJapanese #MovieStarEats
