L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon

I love this place. Been coming here on a fairly regular basis for the past 2 years and apart from one mix up with the time of my reservation sometime in 2009 the service has always been outstanding. The food is gorgeous, the wine list is fantastic and the waiters are super charming and helpful. I'm surprised that people are complaining about the price - yes, it's expensive, but most luxury restaurants are. If you're not prepared to cough up the big bucks then there are plenty of good budget restaurants serving french food in nearby Soho.
If it's an anniversary, birthday etc then I'd definitely recommend this restaurant: try the foie gras stuffed quail with truffeled mashed potatoes - amazing!

Incredible experience... The best food I have ever had, beautiful service, lovely ambience. I took my girlfriend and spent half my student loan haha... It was worth every penny. Like everything, it will appeal to some more than it will to others.

The atmosphere and decoration are great, but the dishes are tiny, tiny, tiny but veeeery expensive. We paid £120 (no wine - just water, 2 people) and I was very hungry when we left the restaurant. Food does not taste exceptionally well and is just not worth the money. If it's possible just go there for drinks at the bar after or before a propper dinner at a good restaurant.

If you want to pay £30 for a spoon full of soup, a few chicken nuggets with rice and a curry sauce which could barley rival the curry sauce from your local chippy. Then this place is for you and as an added bonus, the staff may let you have butter with your bread if they think its acceptable decorum.
In summary . awful!!!!! Expensive, mediocre food with a side order of stuck up service.

Had booked a table for 9.00 p.m. to celebrate our son's 21st birthday. Twenty minutes before we were due to sit down a rude lady came upstairs and told us that our table would be very late! As our son was going out to celebrate afterwards we could not wait that long and she said that she couldn't do anythng about it! I called the Wolseley in Piccadilly and asked them if they could help out. Half an hour later we were eating at the Wolseley and will never return to L'Atelier who treated us disgracefully!

My brother & I were lucky enough to be visiting in London and a special friend JB made reservations for us at L'Atelier in Covent Garden our chef and his staff are wonderful, the food was out of this world, if you are in London do yourself a favor and enjoy and treat yourself to a wonderful experience, I'm still dreaming of our wonderful dinner, thank you chef I give 5 stars for our dining experience and I know you will as well.
