From EatinParis.com "Located inside the Pont Royal Hotel, L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon embodies the concept of a decadent culinary experience. The restaurant has no tables, but a bar which encloses an open kitchen and red leather stools for its audience. The decor has been created in such a fashion as to bestow all the attention on the protagonist: the basic ingredients of Robuchon's kitchen, with large glass jars accentuating the raw colours of fruits and vegetables. As for the menu, three to four small tasting portions are proposed from a menu which is rich in variety, flavour and originality. A wine list proposes carefully chosen wines by the glass and by the bottle. This trendy and intimate restaurant is ideal for a business meal or a couple - due to the way the restaurant is set out, it is not advisable to go with a party larger than four. The food is of the highest standard, however, it is primarily designed for a tasting experience - if you are famished, it's best to find a bistro around the corner and leave this one for another night."
