LA | Maude | A Romantic, Exquisite Meal Everyone Must Try

As a one-Michelin-starred restaurant in LA, Maude is surprisingly undermentioned—and I’m here to change that! 🌟🍽️ Reservations aren’t too tricky—I booked just a week ahead—and every course was a masterpiece. Nothing felt gimmicky or purely for show; each dish was thoughtful, balanced, and delicious in a way that felt both precise and poetic 🎨✨ My friend and I couldn’t stop raving. The shrimp-shaped cracker packed with lobster consommé flavor 🦐🍲 The pigeon cooked medium-rare—tender, rich, and without a hint of gaminess (this Cantonese girl approves! 🕊️❤️) The black cod paired with squid ink sauce and clams seasoned to perfection 🐟🌊 Even the abalone with crispy rice cake felt like a graceful East-meets-West dialogue. I sat at the counter and noticed a vegan guest being served house-cured seeds mimicking caviar—such attention to detail and inclusivity! 🌱👏 Desserts are served in a separate room—a sweet, intimate transition 🍰💫 They leaned toward the sweeter side (my friend loved them), especially with dessert wine pairings. At $175 prepaid + $350 final (with drinks), Maude delivers an experience that’s worth every penny—and every moment of anticipation 💸❤️ From impeccable flavors to immersive storytelling, this is a date-night destination that truly dazzles. #Foodie #MichelinStar #LAEats #MaudeLA #FineDining #RomanticDinner #TastingMenu #SpecialOccasion #CulinaryArt #MustReturn
