We sat at the Chef's 34-seat dining counter facing the open kitchen, which I highly recommend. We enjoyed watching the chefs work with such precision and hearing their "Yes, Chef" responses throughout the evening. There are also smaller tables around the restaurant, but you would miss much of the theater of watching the chefs at work. Another advantage of sitting at the counter was the remarkable pacing: as we finished our plates, they were often cleared within seconds and the next course arrived within minutes. In addition to the Miami Spice menu, there was a four-course seasonal Summer Menu, which we ordered, and an eight-course Evolution Menu, all with optional wine pairings. The Miami Spice and Evolution had fixed courses. For each of the four courses on the Summer Menu, we had several choices. There were also additional courses, including bread and butter, a foie gras starter with Parmesan foam, and a cantaloupe sorbet palate cleanser. Since we were celebrating our anniversary, we were also presented with a stunning raspberry and white chocolate heart dessert to share. I normally avoid foie gras out of compassion for the goose, but there wasn't an alternative offered. I have to admit, however, that this one was delicious. The essence of Maury "Vieilles Vignes" gave it a faint caramel-like flavor that paired beautifully with the richness of the foie gras. And the hot cheese bread is not to be missed. One bite with the softened, creamy butter and I was already thinking, "Okay, I'm glad I came." For our first courses, we both chose the Japanese hamachi with toasted almond emulsion and winter citrus. It was beautifully presented and a light, gentle way to begin. For the second course, I ventured further outside my usual comfort zone with the Japanese sea urchin, served with onion custard, asparagus, and coffee essence, while my husband chose the leeks braised in wasabi with radish, dill, and egg yolk. After snorkeling and seeing sea urchins in their natural habitat, I appreciated the opportunity to finally taste a really good one. The leeks were also amazing. I was still a little hungry when we reached the main course, but that was about to change. I chose the olive oil-poached halibut with clam-vermouth broth and a spring vegetable bouquet. My husband had the Mediterranean branzino with lemon balm emulsion, crème fraîche, and a caviar-stuffed tomato. The halibut was an exceptionally delicate fish in a light and genuinely delicious broth. I had been worried the clam-vermouth broth might taste overly fishy, but it didn't at all, and I savored every drop. The signature mashed potatoes served alongside the meal were decadently rich, buttery, and filling. For dessert, we both chose Le Chocolat Sensation -- Guanaja chocolate crémeux with white chocolate ice cream and Oreo cookie crumble. It arrived beneath a beautiful, thin disk of chocolate concealing the chocolate, cookie crumble, and ice cream below. If you had any hunger remaining, it was certainly cured by this point. Our anniversary raspberry and white chocolate heart complemented the flavors beautifully and made for a lovely photograph and memory of the evening. Our waitstaff, including Oriana, was absolutely outstanding. Service was attentive and polished and each dish was carefully introduced as it arrived. Combined with the extraordinary choreography of the open kitchen, the pacing made the entire dinner feel seamless. This was our first two-Michelin-star restaurant in the United States, and I'm glad we experienced it. It wasn't simply dinner; sitting at the Chef's counter gave us a front-row seat to the precision, creativity, and teamwork required to produce food at this level. read more

OMG... Moans of exhilaration and ecstasy fill the senses as every culinary tastebud is moved and pushed to its limit. My meal sounded like the dinner scene from the movie "What About Bob" as he moans and rolls his eyes in sheer joy over the explosion of majestic flavor. Yes, there were moans, but it's commonplace at this 2 Michelin star house of joy and fulfillment. I had the best meal of my life. We had the 8 course tasting menu with A5 wagyu and all the gloriousness! I'll never be the same. read more

L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon - Best dinner of my LIFE! Go BIG or go home. - French Near Me - Miami, Florida

Spent a week in Miami decided to have a good dinner, made a reservation at l'atelier they only had bar table for Saturday night, we sat at the bar and so we can see many kitchen activities, we loved the bar seatting and we got a good attentions from our server and we never have to look back or sideways. Both my husband and were very happy with the quality of the food and the service we received. The food was a tasting menu with small delicious dishes, well prepared, fresh and delicious. Again this is happen to us many many times when we go to dinner to a good restaurants when we order a bottle of wine ( they didn't have it in the seller) and the Sommelier suggested a similar wine with the price range and we both loved it so much. Seatting at the bar we sat beside 2 beautiful laddies ended up becomming friends and so we loved the ambience and the vibes. We loved everything about trha evening. Would I come back to Miami will I eat here again ? For sure yes but there are so many restaurants to try so yes I will think on coming back+ read more

L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon - Looking toward the kitchen from the bar setting - French Near Me - Miami, Florida

I went into L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon with very high expectations. After a few recent fine dining experiences in Miami, I tempered them a bit, but I still expected exceptional food, beautiful presentation, and unique flavors and textures. For the most part, the food delivered. We shared several appetizers. The heirloom tomato dish with the saffron cracker was delicate, satisfying, and one of my favorite starters of the evening. The white asparagus was the only miss for me--it was overwhelmingly acidic and sour. The artichoke, however, was outstanding. The presentation was beautiful, and every bite seemed to wake up my palate. The standout dish of the night was the spaghetti with caviar and Parmesan foam. It's difficult to describe because the flavors and textures worked together in a way that needs to be experienced rather than explained. If I ever returned, this would be the dish I would order again without hesitation. For mains, I chose the bison while my husband ordered the duck. The duck was tender with crispy skin, though it wasn't his favorite. The bison was exceptional. Wrapped in a croissant-like pastry with earthy mushrooms and served alongside a rich red wine reduction, it was incredibly tender and melted in your mouth. The mushrooms retained their texture without becoming mushy, and the sauce complemented both the bison and the mashed potatoes beautifully. Dessert was another highlight. The Black Forest dessert had the most impressive presentation, resembling a mushroom and fitting the restaurant's artistic approach. While it was delicious, the chocolate soufflé special was our favorite. Soft, airy, and paired with ice cream, it was perfectly executed. Cocktails were surprisingly strong across the board. I ordered their signature Michelin Star cocktail and enjoyed it so much I had three. The matcha cocktail and skinny margarita were also excellent. The cucumber cocktail wasn't for us, but overall the bar program impressed. The atmosphere was interesting. The dining room felt heavily influenced by Japanese design, with deep red tones, an open kitchen, and bar seating that reminded me of an omakase counter. It was intimate without being stuffy, and tables were spaced far enough apart that conversations remained private. The music blended into the background perfectly and never competed with the dining experience. That said, I didn't find the seating particularly comfortable, and while the room was attractive, it didn't feel especially luxurious or uniquely Miami. Where the experience fell short was service and pacing. At one point, our waiter walked away while someone in our party was still speaking and ordering. More importantly, there were long gaps between courses. While I understand that fine dining is meant to be enjoyed slowly, the pacing felt excessive. By the time dessert arrived, we were more tired than excited. I even asked for the dessert menu when our mains arrived because I anticipated the wait, but was encouraged to wait and enjoy the meal first. One detail I genuinely appreciated was the farewell gift at the end of the evening. As we were leaving, the staff handed us branded L'Atelier bags containing a packaged brownie with orange zest and shaved almonds. We were told to enjoy it with our morning coffee the next day. It was a thoughtful touch and a nice way to extend the experience beyond dinner. At over $1,400 for four people including gratuity, value is where I struggle most. The food was very good, and we left satisfied, but some details didn't feel consistent with the price point or a two-star Michelin experience. The silverware showed noticeable wear, service wasn't flawless, and while we left full, the portions were understandably small. I don't regret spending the money, but I'm not sure I would spend it again. Ultimately, I think L'Atelier is worth visiting if you're specifically interested in experiencing Michelin-starred dining. However, if someone were visiting Miami for the first time and asked where to have one unforgettable dinner, I would probably recommend a restaurant that better captures Miami's scenery, atmosphere, and energy. I'm glad I experienced it, and there are a few dishes I still think about--especially the caviar spaghetti and the soufflé--but for me this was more of a "worth doing once" experience than a restaurant I would return to again and again. read more

It's my second time to celebrate birthday at a Joel Robuchon location. Last time it was in their Tokyo location which was a Michelin 1-star restaurant. This Miami location is a 2-star restaurant which I personally think is overrated compared to the Tokyo location. It's not very hard to get a spot if you reserve ahead of time. It's located in design district of Miami. There's another Michelin 1-star restaurant located on first floor and Joel Robuchon is located on the second floor of the same building. We reserved bar sitting and was seated near the end corner of the bar. They have both set menu ($195 for 4 courses) or a la carte. We ordered a few dishes from the a la carte menu to share. We were firstly served with bread and a complimentary fois gras appetizer. Their bread is the best especially the smaller ones! We got refill for the small savory pastry. The free fois gras appetizer was a bit too greasy for me, nothing special. For sharing plates, we ordered fois gras with fig, veal sweetbread and hamachi. The fois gras dish was well-flavoured. The other dishes were ordinary. I was expecting the food to impress my taste buds more from a Michelin 2-star restaurant. For mains, we ordered the bison fillet Wellington, halibut and sole. Both fish dishes were amazing but I didn't like the flavour of the bison dish. This restaurant is clearly much better with seafood dishes than meat dishes. They provide us some dessert for both dine-in and takeout at the end, and they were all tasty. Overall, the service was attentive and the vibe was quiet here. However, for $200-$300 USD per person, the food is not up to standard comparing to other Michelin 2-star restaurant when I expect to be wowed by the cooking. It's not very good value for money. read more

Located in Miami Design District. Parking: street valet or parking garage. We did parking garage right in front of the restaurant and shopping area 4.5hr for $6. Fyi: just go inside the garage and park. No scanning anything needed. When you are done, go to the machine, enter your plate number, it will tell you how much, go pay w cc. When you pass the gate to leave, the gate camera recognized your plate, and it will open the gate for you to leave. Cool right! As for this amazing restaurant, been wanting to try this in Vegas, but decide to try it in miami instead. Reservation: via opentable, cc required. Restroom: individual gender neutral restroom They shared the same location as Le Jardin. L'atelier is on the 2nd floor. Menu options: A la carte Pre-fix Winter menu $195 Chef Tasting Menu Evolution $295 Your whole party must order tasting menu if one decide to have one. See photos on what they currently have on their menu. Service: knowledgeable and attentive friendly team. At the end, they gave us orange biscoti to go. read more

We had a wonderful dinner at this restaurant. The dining space was upstairs and seating was bar style. Service was attentive and the entire team was so professional with courteous. We tried a number of their dishes and everything was so well made, beautifully presented and tasted exquisite. I absolutely loved the artichoke, which was a surprise to me because I don't typically enjoy it. Their artichoke was lightly bartered and fried, tasted so delicate. I would've gladly ordered seconds on that one. The bison was also cooked perfectly tender and was quite a substantial dish. Maybe the one dish I would skip is the wagyu- nothing wrong with it just not that distinctive. Also don't skip out on their desserts. read more

I wanted to treat my hubby for his big birthday, so a two star Michelin Miami restaurant was quite a splurge! The restaurant is tucked away off the street with different types of seating available. All the seating choices inside, outside or bar area are so pretty or cool, so you can't go wrong there. With guidance from our hosts, we chose a specific menu to try different things. The drinks were really unique & enjoyable. The staff was exceptional and gave us plenty of attention throughout, at a nice leisurely pace. They definitely made it a more exciting experience--they are FIRE! The plating was just gorgeous and artistic! All of the dishes were of exceptional quality ingredients, but not all were particularly outstanding. For instance, my fish was wonderful, albeit overly salted. The portions are perfect and they gave us THREE wonderful beautifully presented desserts for the birthday. We packed most to go after a preliminary taste, except the ice cream one, obvi! Some of the dishes weren't of the same high standard as the rest, but none were below par. Ask the staff and pay attention to the particular menu pairings. Read carefully, discuss with your server/staff member and know what you are getting! Overall it is a lovely experience, with plenty of wow factor. However, I don't think we will return, as we weren't quite WOW'ed enough for another $500 meal here now that we have crossed it off the list. It's DeFiNiTeLy worth a visit for a special occasion. read more

We went last night. My girlfriend has celiac disease, so we made sure to let the restaurant know when we made the reservation. We also reminded the manager and our server when we arrived. They brought us gluten-free bread, so we felt reassured at first. Unfortunately, the food runner mixed up the tables and served us the wrong amuse-bouche. We immediately realized something was wrong. At that point, we spoke with the manager and decided to leave. I was very disappointed by how disorganized the entire experience was. When someone has celiac disease, food safety is critical, and mistakes like this can have serious consequences. I expected much better attention to detail and communication. read more

First and foremost, the service was immaculate. The server was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and made several recommendations that were fantastic, such as the pasta caviar substitution for my Miami Spice pre fixe and adding extra bread to soak up the amazing sauce. All of the staff were equally friendly and even funny, as they delivered the food to the table and created a very funny experience that I will remember long after tonight's dinner. The Degas ballerina drinks were an excellent addition to the meal with a fresh strawberry martini vibe that went down smooth. Additionally, there was a minor mixup where we ordered the à la carte seared scallops and were sent the scallop crudo. The staff immediately took ownership of the mixup and brought out the seared scallops with the next course, which gave us an unexpected opportunity to try both. Although the scallop crudo was excellent, the seared scallops stole the show, and I say this as someone who likes his sashimi. All in all, I came for not just the food but the experience and both were exemplary. If you're looking to have a memorable culinary experience, you've come to the right place. read more

Restaurant was really amazing. The service, the decor, the presentation...everything stood out. I have been to 2 other Michelin Star restaurants so far but this exceeded our expectations. People at this place made us feel so comfortable. In spite of how high class the place was, it didn't feel intimidating. Food itself was super creative. The halibut we tried for entree was the creamiest seafood I ever tasted, it melts in your mouth. Even the free bread basket they gave was phenomenal. It has some spinach layered milk based buns that was such a delight when paired with their JR marked salted butter. They even gave us a mini cup of free butternut squash soup. read more

This was one of the most lovely experiences of dining at L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon in Miami, FL. A 2-Michelin-Star Gastronomic Temple. From very artistic plates, to very detailed and decored presentation. More than a dinner meal, a masterpiece of different flavors; from the Foie Gras, to the Tuna with black peppercorn, to the Chicken with truffle; perfectly balanced to melt in your mouth perfection. Not to mention the different delicious desserts tried. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, and the sommelier's wine pairings elevated every course. The cocktails just right on point and very flavorfull. The setting was refined but welcoming, with just the right lighting and music for a relaxed fine-dining experience. If you're looking for a true culinary experience, this gastronomic temple is a must - definitely five stars without hesitation. read more

Pros: Ambiance is beautiful. One giant, elegant room, dimly lit, with the big beautiful open kitchen right there in the middle surrounded by a lovely bar. Service was also top notch. Two Michelin Star worthy for sure. We didn't want for anything all night long. And the kitchen itself was popping out food like a well-oiled machine, even with other customers around us order a 'la carte. Very impressive. Food was perfect. Everything was delicious and presented beautifully. They even had sweetbreads, which I have never seen on a Michelin American menu. Very nice. Cons: No real cons at all. Price was good, food was good, service was good, everything was good. Tips: Look closely at the menus. Don't automatically go for the most expensive one, assuming it's the best. If we did that, we would have missed some of the best items. If you're dining with someone, don't order the same things. Order different things so you can share! read more

On the way back home from our Key West trip, we decided to stop by L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon. This is a prestigious line of restaurants that was started by one of the most revered chefs to ever do it. So our hopes were high. Along with being the first two Michelin Starred restaurant in Florida, it was on highly touted lists from AAA and La Liste. The ambiance is casual luxury. You have to go up a grand spiral staircase, which leads you to a room full of high tops and a mega bar looking into the mega kitchen. Five segments of the bar, each with a shadow box of brilliant decor. It really was gorgeous and dressed to the nines. Service was pretty good. Everything was decently coordinated, certainly to the level of a two star establishment. The servers were formal and stiff at first, which made sense, seeing a lot of the clientele that was surrounding us (lots of suits and ties), but when you talked to them like real people, they talked back in a casual way that just made us super comfortable all around. As for the food, it was dynamite, of course. If you're splurging by coming here, don't automatically jump to the most expensive menu. Really look at what you're menus, see what you're getting and not getting, menu-to-menu, and make an educated choice. We went with the Spring menu, because it had some items on it that the big menu was missing, and with the this-or-that options, it let us try and share more things overall. I won't get into every course, but I will highlight some of the best bites. The Le Boeuf Wagyu was excellent. One of the better tartares I've ever had, really quality beef, accentuated with the cream and truffle, and the flax seed chips made it really fun. The Le Ris De Veau was awesome. If you've never had sweetbreads before, get it here. One of the most underrated foods in the world. Trust me. Le Bison was the dish of the day for me. Basically a mini wellington, perfectly cooked bison, crispy pastry, and sauces that go really well with it all. The desserts were fine. This place excels at the savory items, and I was pretty pleased with everything. Not sure if they're gonna ramp things up and go for the three stars. When it comes to two starred places, Sorekara in Orlando has them beat, but hey, I'm glad to see good food getting recognition in the great state of Florida. read more

As part of my ongoing tour of Michelin-starred restaurants in Miami, I finally made it to L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon Miami--and it delivered. The only restaurant in Florida with two Michelin stars, it landed firmly in my top three. Of all the Michelin dining I've done in Miami, this was the most refined--a confident, sexy expression of high-end French cuisine. We opted for the 9-course chef's tasting menu, beautifully paced and thoughtfully composed, striking that rare balance between restraint and indulgence. True to Chef Joël Robuchon's philosophy, the focus is on elevating simple ingredients through pristine sourcing and immaculate technique. The name L'Atelier--"workshop"--is literal: every seat lines a sleek counter facing the open kitchen, turning dinner into live culinary theater. The room glows in a deep red hue, intimate and intentional. Service was effortless and precise, punctuated by a steady chorus of "Oui, chef" from the kitchen as dishes were fired--quiet confidence, fully on display. Standouts: Olive oil-poached halibut with salsify, vanilla & fennel oil Mishima Reserve striploin with braised carrot & béarnaise (upgraded, naturally, to Japanese A5 Wagyu) The classic chocolate soufflé--absolute perfection And a special shout-out to the buttermilk-marinated frog legs. I was hesitant, but they slid right off the bone like chicken lollipops and completely won me over. Elegant, disciplined, and deeply immersive--L'Atelier's counter seating, crimson glow, and precision-driven cuisine make it a destination worth seeking out in one of the country's most alluring food cities. . @latelier_robuchon_miami #TwoMichelinStars #MichelinGuide #HauteCuisine #LAtelierRobuchon #MiamiMichelin #RefinedDining #MichelinTour #BathboyEats read more

The setting is quiet, well decorated, pleasantly quiet. Definitely sit at the counter - you have a great view of the kitchen and prep. The people set the tone for the evening. the hostess immediately lead us to our seats. Igor, our waiter was great - very personable, great recommendations, appropriate sizing of our order for us. He was fun to talk with, but not obtrusive. Other stuff were also very good - did their roles but didn't interfere with our experience. One suggestion - while they were attentive to our water early on, once the main course was served we weren't. The amuse-bouche was out of this world. Warmed foie gras topped with Parmesan foam. We could have stopped there. Amazing. Bread was fresh, warm. Croissants were incredible - best I can remember anywhere in the US. Flaky, buttery. Baguette was excellent as well. Appetizers were excellent. Hamachi was very fresh, flavorful with an accompaniment accentuating a mild fish. Foie gras was excellent as well. Sweetbreads were amazing! St. Jacques (scallops) were superb. Best scallops we have tasted in many, many years, perfectly prepared. Duck was perfectly cooked, slightly crispy on the outside and rare/medium rare in the center. To top off an outstanding meal, dessert. The chocolate creme is was excellent. It was anniversary so they served a celebration cake that was the best of the desserts! The Mille-Feuille with mango was a creative take on the classic, but the mango was overwhelmed by the taste of the pastry - I would prefer a bolder mango taste. Chardonnay (me) a champagne (my wife) were excellent choices. They were kind and gave me a little champagne so we could toast our 27 years together. L'Atelier has a well deserved reputation as an outstanding restaurant. From the moment we were greeted at the reception desk until we left, this was a first class experience. We will back. A MUST try if you haven't. read more

Lovely meal! I came here as a solo diner and was surprised that it is the ideal place for one (or an intimate dinner with two). The restaurant has a large long bar that is meant to resemble an omakase experience albeit French cuisine. I ordered the Winter menu with wine pairing. Everything was delightful but the wagyu tartare, ravioli, and chocolate dessert were the highlights. The service staff were all wonderful, engaging, friendly, and made the dining experience feel approachable and fun. The wine pairings provided to me were delightful. I highly recommend L'Atelier if you're looking for an upscale meal. That being said, it is a pricey dinner so do your research before to see if this is where you'll be happiest dining. read more

The food here was spectacular and unique! We liked the interesting combination of flavors and textures. The multiple staff members who helped us were super friendly and knowledgeable on the menu. They even offered to swap out one of my sister's courses because they could tell she was not enjoying it. In addition, they gave us complimentary mashed potatoes which was super smooth and delicious. The one item on the menu that we thought was very basic was the chocolate dessert. It used Oreo cookies which we thought was funny because everything else on the menu was so unique and seemingly all made in house. We even joked about how maybe it's the one item on the menu for picky eaters who were forced to come to this restaurant with their partners so that they can end on a simple item. The restaurant was very intimate and we got to sit front and center to watch as the chefs prepared our meals. The only complaint we both had was with one of the employees who was there tonight. We assume he's the sommelier because he was taste testing multiple wines. The issue was that he was spitting it out right in front of us. It wasn't just a few times either. It was every 5 or so minutes for the entirety of the last hour of our meal. I made eye contact with him and he started turning his back to spit out the wine...but still it was kind of repulsive to hear the spitting noise while we were eating. Overall, we would still come back. read more

One of the more forgettable meals I've had. For the price and reputation, what was delivered was not acceptable. I did not like 40% of the meal. Frankly surprised it has any Michelin stars. Not worth it. Given all the new restaurants and spotlight on the Miami food scene, this restaurant is 100% skippable. Food: 3/10 We had the Evolution Menu which was an amuse-bouche, followed by 4 courses and a dessert. Amuse-Bouche: 9/10 Foie gras with parmesan foam was an amazing start to the meal. I only wish there was more of this course. Madai: 2/10 Texture was terrible. Fish was flavorless. Cream didnt mesh well with dish. After two bites, I didnt want anymore. Awful dish that should not be on the menu. Super disappointing after the start. Disliked by most of the guests at my table. Guinea hen terrine: 1/10 If ever a way to make chicken inedible and flavorless, they found a way. Not only was the texture insanely offputting, the flavor profile was equally unappetizing. I made it through 2 bites and couldnt bring myself to finish it. $75 of shaved truffles couldnt save this dish. Several people at my table also left it uneaten. Scallops: 7/10 Unique combination of ingredients and flavor profile. Heavy and forward on the butter, but cooked perfectly. After the prior two dishes, anything would have been welcomed. Venison: 9/10 Finally a dish worthy of the restaurant. Cooked to perfection and a delicious, lightly game-y flavor. Additional sausage inside the cabbage was also great. Wish there was more of this. The mashed potato side was great (maybe a tad too much butter). Wellington (bonus): 9/10 My wife doesnt eat venison and substituted for the beef wellington. Cooked to perfection and delicious. I enjoyed my husband tax bite as much as my own course. Chocolate cremeux: 8/10 Im not a dessert lover, but this was pretty tasty and beautifully ornate. Someone who enjoys dessert will love this. Service: 3/10 Waiters were nice, but service was horrendously slow. We did have a large group, but dinner took over 4 hours for not that much food. By the end of the meal I could not wait to get out of there. Ambiance: 10/10 Restaurant upstairs is beautiful. Hard to see how anyone would find fault here. But i dont come to a restaurant for the walls. read more

I visited on a Saturday for lunch and tried their seasonal menu. The restaurant is tasteful and upscale but not overly pretentious. The service was exceptional and everyone was friendly. There's a great selection of cocktails and wine depending on your preference. To start there is house bread that is complimentary. I also tried the baby artichoke which was delicious. The seasonal menu was a three course meal with various options. I opted for a more seafood oriented meal with the diver scallops to start. To follow I had the sea bream which was well cooked that was well complimented by the mushroom ragout and fennel sauce. Finally the chocolate dessert, my personal favorite, was a perfectly sweet to end the meal. The experience is on the more expensive side, especially if you get a drink; easily a $100 plus per person expense and the lunch menu is less pricey than dinner. The food was good, maybe even great, but is it the best I've ever had? It may be worth the visit to say you've been to Miami's only two Michelin star restaurant but I wouldn't say there was anything that blew me out of the water. read more

It's a very classy drink. - Evolution Tasting Menu 2.1/5 I just want to say HOW DID THIS PLACE GET TWO MICHELIN STARS? This place was such a disappointment that after my party and I went to Denny's- and it was better. The best tasting dish was the scallop. The one simple seared scallop. The steak was good too. The dessert sucked. It definitely was not worth the price. It was a HUGE disappointment for everyone in my party. The second floor interior is very nice. Open kitchen. Dimmed lights. Valet parking. read more

Great with allergies, friendly staff and good food. I stopped by L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon to celebrate a special occasion. The restaurant is located in Miami's Design District and has a large layout with various seating options. From the start of my time there to the end, the staff at L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon were very professional and friendly. In terms of the menu, there are a few different menu styles that you can order from. I opted to go for the seasonal Spring menu which allowed me to try several of their dishes. My party also had allergies to peanuts, tree nuts, sesame and shellfish which the restaurant was able to accommodate for. The willingness and ability to accommodate for allergies was something I greatly appreciated and was impressed by, as many Michelin Star restaurants will not accommodate. The food itself had a great taste, nice presentation and was unique. Overall, my experience at L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon was fantastic and they were able to make a special occasion even more special. I look forward to visiting the restaurant again and I would highly recommend having a meal at L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon. read more

An absolutely outstanding fine dining experience! Every dish was a true work of art -- perfectly balanced in flavor, presentation, and atmosphere. I especially want to highlight Maria, our server, who was incredibly sweet and attentive. She explained every course with passion and detail, making the evening not just delicious but truly memorable. If you're looking to experience real haute cuisine in Miami, this is the place. read more

This was our first 2 star Michelin experience and it was amazing (and currently the only 2 star in the US)! (FYI we went March 9th 2024). We sat at the sushi style bar so we were up close with the servers and able to converse and ask questions. It felt a little more casual and relaxed which was actually nice. They were all so warm and lighthearted and made a fancier experience feel real and down to earth. The food was by far some of the best I've ever had. The portions were small but that's to be expected. The foie Gras, which is the only food photo I actually remember the name of, was the single best bite of food I have ever had in my entire life. It was served warm and in a shooter you scoop out and was recommended to put with some of the bread they served. so unexpected and surprising and unlike other foie Gras I've had, and was how the meal began. Started off on the highest note. I wish I remembered the names / what the other dishes were, but honestly, they were complex with French names I didn't really understand anyway and I'm not a culinary expect, I just know it was all phenomenal. The presentation, flavors, all of it. Every bite was mind blowing in its own unique way. There were so many surprising and unexpected flavors, it kept me present, engaged and fully immersed in the meal. I have never had an experience like that and can understand why they were awarded the two prestigious Michelin stars. I will say, it felt like it went by too fast, but maybe it was because I wanted more. We did the standard tasting menu, not the seasonal. There was a wine pairing option that looked great but we opted not to. A couple next to us did it and it appeared to be very generous portions of wine. To wrap things up, we were celebrating the new job I had just started, and the brought out an extra free dessert called a money cake, with congrats written across it. It wasn't on the menu and I believe is only delivered when celebrating new job, sale, success etc... and was such a thoughtful nice touch. I'd make the assumption the same would go for other celebrations with their own unique dessert, but I could be wrong. This was a bucket list place for sure and I'm grateful I had the chance to experience it. It is pricey (our tasting was $280 pp and drinks were $20-25 each) and we no longer live in FL, but I hope I get the chance to visit again someday. read more

Who knew a 2-star Michelin restaurant could be dog friendly? It had to be outdoor seating, of course, but it still felt fancy! My husband and I ordered a la carte and decided on the pigeon, the pork loin, and truffle pasta for 2 to share. After we ordered our food, our server brought over a basket of bread. This was the ultimate breadbasket. It was like the bread was freshly baked from a bakery in Paris. The mini baguettes were good, but the croissants! The folds of the croissants were super fine! What a buttery bite of deliciousness. The staff members were happy to bring us a second, and third(!) round of croissants. Next came a complimentary amuse bouche from the chef to tickle our palettes. A tasty lil pumpkin bisque, followed by the truffle pasta for 2. The truffle pasta for 2 looked small, but once we finished eating, we realized we were very satiated. We had some time to digest the pasta before our mains arrived. Pigeon - This dish is a squab stuffed with caramelized foie gras, dressed in apple puree, with a lil side of mashed potato. My husband and I are familiar with this dish, as he tried to replicate it at home years ago. While his was delicious, Joel Robuchon's version was perfection. Suckling Pork Loin - This was the dish that I ordered. The pork loin was a nice thick cut, and the flavors were good, but the pork loin may have been a bit too rare for my taste. Crispy Skin Duck Breast - Both my husband and I enjoyed this dish. The skin was nice and crispy. The breast was cooked to a medium rare, good consistency and sufficiently juicy. For dessert, I had the Le Mont Blanc, which is a baked merengue, with elderberry compote on the bottom, and topped with sweet chestnut cream. It was a beautiful dessert. Tasty and not too heavy. My husband had the La Foret Noire, a black forest cake, with a chocolate disc set on top. We also got some complimentary chocolate tarts with sea salt and a small loaf of house baked banana bread packed to take with us. The small loaf of banana bread (not pictured) may look simple, but don't make the mistake of underestimating how tasty it was like I did. The banana bread was light, the texture was so smooth, packed with banana flavor, and with bits of chocolate in it! Why did I ever think this banana bread would not be good when we enjoyed everything else the pastry chefs at the restaurant made! L' Atelier de Joel Robuchon was such a treat. read more

We came for Miami Spice excited to try this 2 star Michelin restaurant. GPS sent us to the rear of the building, it is located within the shops on the opposite side tucked in the right corner. It's strange that you enter through the outside patio seating area. L'Atelier is located up the spiral staircase which will make you dizzy before you reach the top! Party of 4, we were seated at the counter which was a nice experience but terrible for conversation. Our friends wanted a la carte dinning while hubs and I wanted the chefs menu. They stated everyone must order the same (WTF) which made no sense so our friends were forced into the same meal. They did substitute tuna for another fish to accommodate. Basket of bread: French baguette: good Croissant: a bit greasy but very flaky Spinach milk bread: I did not care for the heavy texture, and I love spinach. They offered more bread, it took forever for another croissant and they never brought more of the baguette. Foie Gras foam: served hot this pudding had the flavor of Foie Gras but the temp was too hot for my liking. Tuna crudo: Nice flavor, and fresh Pasta spiral (also with foam): worst dish of the night which no one liked. Pasta was overcooked, and uninspiring. Heritage chicken: slightly warm, flavors were good cooked perfectly but the potatoes way too salty. Chocolate cherry bomb: presentation was 100, flavors/texture good. Chocolate mousse ice cream: I liked it better, had good texture with the crunchies. Overall it was disappointing...nothing came over the top as a WOW for its price point. We've had better flavor composites and meals in lesser restaurants read more
