LA | Maude | So Romantic, So Delicious — Everyone Needs to Know! 🌹🍽️

As a Michelin-starred gem in LA, Maude is surprisingly under-hyped — and I won’t stand for it! Scoring a reservation wasn’t too tricky — I booked just a week ahead. Every course was stunning — nothing felt like style over substance. You could taste the intention behind each dish, balanced like poetry. My friend and I couldn’t stop raving. Highlights: Shrimp-shaped cracker infused with lobster broth — delicate and savory. Pigeon cooked medium-rare, zero gaminess — this Cantonese girl approves! 🕊️👌 Black cod with squid ink sauce, served with seasoned clams on the side — brilliant. Abalone with crispy rice cake — a subtle East-meets-West moment. Even the caviar course had a thoughtful vegan version using house-marinated seeds — impressive attention to detail. Desserts are served in a separate room — a sweet finale (literally). A bit sugary for me, but my sweet-toothed friend adored it. Paired beautifully with dessert wine. 🍷🍰 Perfect for a special date night — experience and flavor both top-tier. Prepaid $175 when booking, final bill around $350 with drinks.
