Joël Robuchon’s empire expands once more with the opening of one other Atelier, this time on the Champs Elysées. This one is greater than the left financial institution outpost, with an precise eating room along with the trademark counter seating. It’s to be prevented in any respect prices.
It feels apt that to succeed in this restaurant you should enter by way of a mall – the entire expertise feels tawdry and industrial. Regardless of having made and confirmed reservations, we have been made to attend in an overflowing foyer that appeared like a low-rent Vegas on line casino for greater than an hour. There have been no seats obtainable. Nobody to take our coats. No place to seize a drink. No smile, no apology. When lastly seated, the meals was forgettable.
Joël Robuchon might have as soon as been an ideal chef, however it is a craven effort to money in. We’d be gutted should you fell for it and spent any of your treasured time or cash right here.
133 avenue des Champs Elysées, 75008 (within the Publicis buying complicated)
Open day by day for lunch & dinner
Reservations on-line or at 01 47 23 75 75

IN OTHER WORDS
Critique gastronomique (2012) “Le(s) plus : Je ne connais pas de restaurant deux étoiles proposant un tel rapport qualité prix y compris les samedis et dimanches. Le(s) moins : L’absence de lumière du jour et les couleurs sombres ; les plats du menu sont très classiques aussi.”
Patricia Wells (2011) “The brilliant crimson and black area is already filled with glittery Las Vegas-style drama. However the actual scene is what’s on the plate and what occurs to your palate with every pleasurable chunk… [a] specialty to not be ignored is the penetrating chunk of clean and pungent foie gras set in a dense port jelly, topped with a soothing Parmesan cream. Mouthfilling, intense, unforgettable..”
Simon Says (2010) “… on retrouvera la percussion de la Rive Gauche avec sans doute une gentille différence de clientèle…”
