Our Guide to Paris: L’Atelier Saint-Germain de Joël Robuchon

If, when sitting at the counter in this red and black-lacquered dining room savoring your marinated scallops or truffled langoustine, you have the feeling you could be in any major city, it’s because you could be; there are “ateliers” around the world, from Vegas to Hong Kong. Don’t worry if you’re more of a meat & potatoes guy – this place was also included in our list of Five Great Steak Frites in Paris. Note: Reservations are ONLY accepted for the first seatings of each service. Otherwise, it’s first-come-first-served.

Trusted reviews
- Chrisos (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?”
