Our Inspector's Highlights

You’ll find all the delicious food Robuchon restaurants are known for with none of the pretense. You can come as you are — attire is business casual — and interact with the kitchen staff as they deliver food straight to your counter seat.
Vegetarians should roll up their sleeves when they head to L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon; the restaurant located within MGM Grand Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas offers a nine-course vegetarian menu nightly as an alternative to the French tasting menu. You can certainly indulge without sacrificing on portion size or ingredients here.
No good French meal would be complete without a glass of great wine, and L’Atelier certainly has an impressive list to choose from. There are grand crus from Burgundy, first growths from Bordeaux-including varietals of Mouton Rothschild, Lafite Rothschild, Château Margaux and Château Haut-Brion-as well as more international picks from Spain, South America and Eastern Europe. You’ll also find some interesting Canadian ice wines that are perfect to cap off a meal.

Things to Know

The late French chef Joël Robuchon opened his first L’Atelier in Paris as a 40-seat, small plates restaurant with a central kitchen where diners could watch their meals being prepared. He wanted to merge a more casual atmosphere with fine French food — and the concept has done so well that’s it’s been replicated all over the world from Las Vegas to London to Tokyo.
If you’re dining with a group at the Las Vegas restaurant, you can create your own tasting menu by ordering three to four small plates off the tapas-inspired à la carte menu. Choose from dishes such as the restaurant’s signature steak tartare, as well as a ton of meat-, fish- and vegetable-based options. Plus, there’s a selection of high-quality cheeses and desserts.

The Food

If you’re not in the mood for nine courses, you can opt for complete control over your dinner by ordering à la carte. L’Atelier has an impressive list of delicious tapas-style small plates.
Some vegetarian-friendly options a la carte include heirloom tomato salad with basil oil and fleur de sel, spaghetti, a seasonal vegetable salad and a selection of cheeses.
A few of our favorite dishes? Avocado- and cilantro-flavored grapefruit gelée; turbot fillet with baby leeks and buttery shellfish sauce; foie gras-stuffed free-range quail with mashed potatoes; langoustine carpaccio with lemon vinaigrette; blackberry compote with spice cake and rhubarb sorbet.
The chocolate sensation — a dessert with an Araguani chocolate base that’s topped with crémeux and ice cream rolled in Oreo cookie crumbs is a must order for chocolate lovers.

The Look

The sleek, contemporary interior design of L’Atelier is stunning. You’ll be arrested by the color combination — black countertops, bright red leather chairs, a red-tiled kitchen and fresh red roses on every table.
Watch for the incorporation of food into the décor. You’ll see tall glass vases filled with water and elegant cucumber slices, carrot shavings and fresh tomatoes.
What looks like abstract art on the wall is actually framed pictures of spices such as cardamom, peppercorns, star anise and turmeric.
