"Whereas Joël Robuchon will have you sharing a bathroom with Vegas high-rollers, its sister restaurant L’Atelier is a slightly more affordable spot where you won’t feel out of place in more casual clothes. You'll still get a a once-in-a-lifetime French meal, all in a clubby setting with great bar seating where you can chat up the stranger next to you and get a bird’s-eye view of the chefs. Order the famous mashed potatoes, langoustine carpaccio with lemon vinaigrette, and the foie gras-stuffed quail." - emmy kasten, andrew ryce
"Robuchon’s Dubai outpost is set in the heart of the DIFC and features the trademark open kitchen and red and black colour scheme. Sophisticated small plates are underpinned by a strong classical base, revisited in a contemporary key. Desserts are a highlight with an impressive choice of soufflés – for the ultimate experience, go for the 7-course tasting menu. Eat directly on the counter or on the panoramic, outdoor terrace." - Michelin Inspector
"Bathed in a studied semi-darkness, two bars face each other around a central kitchen where the dishes are prepared under the gaze of the guests, seated on high stools at the counter. This "chic canteen" is a Western version of Japanese teppanyaki and sushi bars, with a menu that can be “tailored” into small portions and plates that boast superlative ingredients. Caviar on a soft-boiled hen’s egg and smoked salmon in puff pastry and the house staples, king crab ravioli, suckling lamb chops, Joël Robuchon's famous mashed potatoes..." - Michelin Inspector
"The French cuisine found at this sleek, world-renowned restaurant (part of a larger chain) is sure to win date night. The restaurant servces several of L’Atelier’s iconic dishes, including the famed Pommes puree, alongside a rotating seasonal menu. Grab a seat at the large, wrap-around counter for a front-row seat to the open kitchen and watch the chefs in action." - Eater Staff
"Complement a view of the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami’s new suite of exhibitions with the French haute cuisine at the only two Michelin-starred restaurant in Florida. Like its counterparts worldwide, the 3,400-square-foot interior features dramatic lighting, bold colors, walls outfitted with polished rosewood, custom-made red leather Italian seating, flame-brushed granite flooring, and black-painted ceilings. Dishes like scallops bathed in a cilantro broth and coconut emulsion, lobster in a tropical curry, and comte cheese souffle can be found on the menu." - Juliana Accioly
