Reviews of interest

  • Chrisoscope (2012) “Bien que la qualité de l’assiette et des produits restent excellents, j’ai été déçu par le reste lors de notre dernier déjeuner…après l’ouverture de l’Atelier de Robuchon au Drugstore Publicis sur les Champs Elysées et des départs/rotations de personnel, les équipes en salle et en cuisine m’ont semblé plus jeunes, moins appliquées et moins rigoureuses… Enfin, la clientèle est très nettement composée de touristes.”
  • Chrisoscope (2011) “De grands classiques, des produits irréprochables, une exécution sans faille. Super brasserie de luxe.”
  • Patricia Wells (2010) “An astonishingly delicious celebratory lunch…Best taste of the day was certainly the sea bream carpaccio, feathery petals of fish marinated in citrus juice, plenty of lime zest, perfectly seasoned with olive oil and salt.”
  • Food Snob (2009) “Service was very pleasant…Unfortunately, I found the food unimpressive…”
  • Julot (2007) “On the whole however, my purely personal impression is that the place has no soul…But it offers unique features…Where else can you have just a bit of a positively gastronomic experience, even if you are not hungry?”
