Chef Joel Robuchon's name is synonymous with fine French cuisine, making his restaurants some of the most famous in the world. Needless to say, dining at L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon is a very special experience. Instead of the setup of a traditional restaurant, with tables evenly spread out, most of the diners at this unique venue are seated at a large bar that surrounds the open kitchen. The food is contemporary French and can rightly said to be both very delicious and very expensive. Along with prix fixe lunch and dinner menus, the restaurant offers a tasting menu, a discovery menu and a la carte menu. Reservations are highly recommended as it is a popular place among gastronomes.

Upstairs, diners are treated to a whole different world, with high-class French ambiance, white linen, and ornate decor. This variety assures that Chez Tomo has a dining experience for everyone, with a broad a la carte menu on the lower floor, and a more elaborate prix fixe menu upstairs that features delicacies like pate, boudin noir, and many seasonal preparations.
