Joël Robuchon Restaurant

Are there any bigger names in the world of cooking than that of Joël Robuchon? Likely not, seeing as he’s the chef with the most number of Michelin stars to his name. The king of fine French dining expanded his influence across the world, establishing a significant number of restaurants in Asia. This Ebisu restaurant is the pinnacle of all of these Eastern outposts. Housed in an 18th century grand chateau-like house, the cooking here is in the hands of Michael Michaelidis. He took stewardship of the kitchen in 2017, having previously worked at the Singapore outlet. The name Robuchon is basically synonymous with excellent haute cuisine, and excellent service. With such a brand you are guaranteed the highest level of care and attention in every part of the experience. The interior is stunning, with black velvet soft furnishings on the floor and tables contrasting starkly against the champagne-gold walls. Make sure that you dress up to match the elegance of the setting, meaning no sportswear or sneakers allowed. As you might have guessed, a meal here doesn’t come cheap, but it’s worth every penny.
