L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon is a prestigious dining establishment in Hong Kong, situated at Shop 401 within The Landmark on Queen's Road Central. Established in 2006, it represents the fifth L'Atelier venue launched by the renowned French chef Joël Robuchon, with culinary operations overseen by head chef Cattaneo Adriano. Its design concept draws inspiration from the original Tokyo location.
Description
Boasting a modern and elegant interior, the restaurant is adorned with rich red velvet chairs and dark wooden furnishings. Mirroring its Tokyo counterpart, the space is divided into two distinct sections: L'Atelier and Le Jardin. The L'Atelier area features seating arranged around an open kitchen in a square formation, reminiscent of a sushi bar setup. The restaurant's impressive wine selection was honored with the Wine Spectator "Grand Award" in 2010. By 2020, there were eight L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon establishments operating globally.
History
First announced in March 2006 and opening later that year, this Hong Kong venue marked an expansion of Robuchon's international footprint, following the earlier launch of his Tokyo restaurant three years prior. The term "L'Atelier," meaning "artist's workshop," underscores the brand’s dedication to culinary artistry.
