L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon

Eating at the bar takes on a whole new meaning at L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon, a swanky space dominated by dramatic red and black tones. In a twist on traditional dining, the famed French chef has created a restaurant… specializing in small plates -- and offers only bar seating with a view to the open kitchen. Try grilled sardines on melba toast or a ravioli of crayfish with foie gras sauce. Dining here can fast become an expensive proposition, but the chance to nibble at the table on one of France's best chefs is probably worth it. Reservations are taken only for the first sitting beginning at 6: 30 p.m. After that it's first in, best dressed. [link]
