L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon  

After shocking the culinary world with his retirement at 50 years of age, Mr Joël Robuchon returned to the kitchen with the idea to create L’Atelier. Drawing inspiration from the simplicity of Japanese cuisine and the vibrant atmosphere in Spanish tapas bars, the Atelier—meaning workshop—was born.

L’Atelier is a unique dining concept where chefs can experiment and create, working on new ideas and fusing different concepts reflective of the locale. This presentation immerses guests in a dining experience where guests are part of the action, separated merely by a counter between kitchen and main dining area. Mr Robuchon likens L’Atelier to an artist’s studio where diners can witness the chefs create, prepare and cook innovative dishes right before them and in return, the chefs have the pleasure of watching guests enjoy their meal. Consequently, the level of interaction between chefs and guests is heightened which as a result, encourages the chefs to better their craft. What Mr Robuchon wants to convey to his guests at L’Atelier is the atmosphere of conviviality that lets its guests relax, be liberated and enjoy a great meal.

The L’Atelier interior décor lies in the hands of world-renowned designer Pierre-Yves Rochon who designed the first L’Atelier in Paris in 2003. Kitted out entirely in black and red furnishings to streamline the signature dramatic sleek look for the Atelier concept, the restaurant also dresses its servers in black. The ala carte menu offers classic and tasting portions, with a focus on presenting premium ingredients in their simplest form to flesh out the essence of the produce.
