Dassai Joel Robuchon sur Paris

Excellent service and a three-course meal. The mashed potatoes were indeed very good! €55 set menu (starter, main course, dessert)

The food was very good and beautifully presented. Thanks to the waiter who sorted out the sommelier's little blunder.

Came here to celebrate our 10th anniversary and had a fantastic time. Amazing food, service and atmosphere.

The coffee and malfieh are delicious, and they have tasty fast food, but it's expensive.

Excellent food, very poor service. Went for a special night, and received a light acknowledgement before seating, nothing else. Spent over 20 minutes completely unattended at the end of the evening.

It's always a pleasure to come back here. The atmosphere is cozy, and you eat at the bar, which makes the experience incredible, especially with Luigi, the head chef, and his top-notch team! The "half-portion" menu lets you sample several dishes, which is a brilliant idea. The mashed potatoes are amazing. Special mention to the sommelier as well! Go without hesitation.

Amazing michilen star lunch service. The lobster was amazing

I booked this two months ahead, card on file, date and time locked in. I started reading the menu a month before the trip — looked up every dish, every technique, worked out which items carried the 15€ supplement. Then I asked the staff to confirm it all when I arrived. One person, one shot, a language I don't speak: do the homework early and you can just eat. Finding it is the first test. Google Maps drops you on the Champs-Élysées at the street-level restaurant with the awning. That isn't it. Walk into the department store, past the bakery counter, turn, and go down. L'Atelier is below ground, and the doormat at the bottom feels like an entrance that isn't trying to be found. Inside it's all deep red — walls, carpet, lacquered ceiling. Black leather, burnt-orange armchairs, a portrait of Robuchon on the wall. There are normal tables, but the counter is the point: you sit on a stool and watch the cooks plate and sauce right in front of you. If you're eating alone, this is the room. You're not facing an empty chair, you're facing the kitchen. Three lunch menus: 55, 75, 95€. I took the 75 — two starters, one main. Worth knowing: the dishes you actually want (caviar, foie gras, lobster spaghetti) are all +15€, so a 75€ menu with two supplements costs more than a 95€ with none. I added one. The amuse was a chilled vegetable soup under cold foam, piment d'Espelette on top. Two mouthfuls, cold enough to tighten the flavour and leave the palate clean. The bread came in a silver basket, butter shaved into layers. The baguette is well baked — the tips are genuinely hard. That bread became my tool: I tore it up and wiped every plate clean. Not elegant, but those sauces take the kitchen the longest. The famous caviar gelée arrives looking like a bowl of soup — a flat white surface, one chervil leaf. Only when the spoon goes down do you find the layers: cauliflower cream, then amber jelly, then caviar at the bottom, completely hidden. All three in one spoonful: sweet, slippery, then the salt breaking through last. Clever. My one reservation is the jelly, which carried a faint fishiness — small, but in a dish this pale and this delicate, it gets amplified. The poached egg was the better starter. Egg on watercress purée, a nest of fried threads on top, mimolette tuiles thin enough to see through. Crush the crisp bits in, break the yolk, and you get crunch, softness and silk in one mouthful. Braised pork cheek for the main, falling apart under the knife. I ordered the pommes purée separately (15€ — it isn't always on the menu, you have to ask). Best decision of the meal. The cheek is rich and gets heavy on its own; I spooned the purée over each piece so it wrapped the fat completely. Two kinds of fat, one loose, one bound — wrapped together it stops being heavy. That purée goes with everything: bread, sauce, meat. Dessert is the kitchen's choice; mine was a plum tart with vanilla ice cream, the fruit's acidity cutting through everything that came before. With coffee: a warm madeleine and a small white ball dusted in sugar, soft and slightly tart. I asked what it was. The waiter said a French word I didn't catch, then smiled and said, "We all ate this as children. Try it." I still don't know its name. 100€ total: 75 menu, 15 purée, 10 sparkling water, service and tax included. I left 5€ cash. Back up at street level the Champs-Élysées looks exactly as it did, and the red room might as well not exist. That caviar dish hid everything under three layers before it let you reach the point. So did finding this place. Some things you have to go down for.

Hello We dined at the counter, and the experience was lovely and enjoyable. Being close to the kitchen and the action is undoubtedly one of the restaurant's strong points. All the dishes we tasted were of very good quality. The prices for the location and quality are average.

What more can I say? 5 stars, well deserved!
