Lobster Bisque at L2O, Chicago


Next came an innovative rendition of that famous soup - lobster bisque. The soup had the usual rich lobster flavor, but we were surprised to find a nice twist to the usual rendition. The fall leaves probably should give way to the surprise.... In addition to pieces of lobster, there were little cubes of fresh apple (one of the seasonal fruits of fall) inside the soup! It provided a delicious, sweet acidic flavor; which went surprisingly well with the deep and salty richness of the lobster bisque. I love how the soup was presented - in a little espresso Bodum cup! Because of the double layer of glass, the soup came at the perfect temperature. I guess it is these details that make the difference between 1 to 2 to 3 Michelin stars! L2O won 3 Michelin stars in 2010~!
