Looking to spend a romantic evening in Paris on our anniversary, The Skinny Chef decided to take me to L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon, and I'm happy to say we enjoyed a delicious and memorable meal. When making the reservation, six months in advance, The Skinny Chef chose to sit at the bar so we could have a view of the kitchen; a view he knew both of us would appreciate. The atmosphere was romantic and quite comfortable for a restaurant serving such high quality cuisine. We have dined at other Michelin Star restaurants and felt a level of discomfort that did not exist at L'Atelier. We were able to relax and enjoy our meal from the delectable L'Amuse-Bouche to the divine Le Chocolat Tentation. Wanting to taste as much as humanly possible, we decided to order the "Discovery Menu," which consisted of ten plates. The menu was built to perfection with each plate hitting a higher note than the previous one. That being said, the meal flat-lined during the gyoza course as it was bland and simply not on the same level as the rest of the food being served. Fortunately, the meal picked right back up when the next plate was served and didn't skip a beat from that point on. Overall, the cuisine and dining experience we had at L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon was thoughtful and well executed. We will be sure to dine there again on our next trip to the city of love.
