L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon

Organised and compiled by William Reed Media, Asia's 50 Best Restaurants collate votes of The World's 50 Best Restaurants Academy – an influential group of more than 900 international leaders in the restaurant industry, each selected for their expert opinion of the international restaurant scene. Ranked No. 24 on 2013's list is L'Atelier De Joël Robuchon, Singapore. Located on the 1st floor of Hotel Michael at Resorts World™ Sentosa, it is on the left of its entrance shared with fine-dining Joël Robuchon Restaurant on the right. It was a weekday evening when my dining companion and I visited the more casual L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon with counter seats around an open-concept kitchen, and a few tables in the main dining area.

Joël Robuchon Restaurant

Conferred Chef of the Century by the prestigious Guide Gault Millau in 1990, Joël Robuchon was the youngest chef ever at 38 years old to receive three Michelin stars for his first restaurant Jamin. In fact, three of his restaurants are in 2013's lists of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants and Asia's 50 Best Restaurants. Ranked No. 24 on the former is L'Atelier Saint-Germain de Joël Robuchon in Paris while No. 23 and 24 on the latter are L'Atelier De Joël Robuchon in Hong Kong and Singapore respectively. Organised and compiled by William Reed Media, the lists collate votes of The World's 50 Best Restaurants Academy – an influential group of more than 900 international leaders in the restaurant industry, each selected for their expert opinion of the international restaurant scene. It was for the legendary (in the culinary world) icon's internationally acclaimed French haute cuisine that I specially made a trip to Joël Robuchon Restaurant.
