Matsuhisa’s Valentine’s Day Omakase

23 Feb

HautePinkPretty Matsuhisa Nobu Valentine's Day Omakase 8

Last week, my husband brought me to Matsuhisa, another favorite LA establishment for Valentine’s day dinner. Famous for being chef Nobuyuki Matsuhisa (aka Nobu)’s original, very first restaurant; it’s a small quiet, unsuspecting & understated restaurant in Beverly Hills… but boy, does it blow all the other Nobu’s away! We enjoyed their special Valentine’s Omakase – 7 courses of the best and most exotic of Nobu Matsuhisa’s signature dishes. I apologize in advance for not knowing any of the names :) but I assure you, they were each amazing! Next time you’re in LA or if you’re an Angeleno but have never been – I highly recommend it!

Most perfect hamachi dish, ever.

This lobster course was by far our favorite of the seven!

I mentioned a while back that I just didn’t have the palette for Uni but I must say, this piece right here changed my world! I am now an Uni fan – but more than likely it only applies to Matsuhisa’s Uni :D I need to find out where he gets his sea urchins!

Lobster Miso – it wasn’t as photogenic as the others ;) it just looked like the average miso soup on camera but WOW talk about delicious, imagine a decadent lobster broth with a touch of miso and huge chunks of lobster – amazing!

Unfortunately, I didn’t have any of this dessert because I gave up sweets for Lent, but Chris assured me it was just as yummy as it looked :P

How was your Valentine’s day? Hope you’ve all had a great week!! By the time this post publishes, MAGIC is over but I’m still in Vegas :D so follow me on InstagramTwitter & Vine (HautePinkPretty) to see what happened at WWDMAGIC & what else I’m doing in Vegas :)

Sunday Brunch at Petrossian West Hollywood

4 Feb
HautePinkPretty Brunch at Petrossian Paris WeHo West Hollywood Egg Royale and Champagne

Petrossian’s AMAZING Egg Royale – I could easily eat a dozen of these  delicious little guys!

So, this isn’t the first time Petrossian has made an appearance on my blog (previously seen here and here) – after all, it is my favorite LA restaurant! What makes this post extra special to me is – we’ve always dined there for dinner but this was our first time having brunch at Petrossian! In addition to having a delicious caviar filled brunch, I also had GREAT LIGHTING! Yay!! :) So you can finally see what I’m so obsessed with under pretty natural lighting as opposed to the grainy shots I shared before.

Salivating yet? So am I. I might need to go back for brunch again this weekend… or happy hour this week ;) lol

Happy Monday, everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend!
