I visited the renowned French restaurant "Gastronomie Joël Robuchon" located in Ebisu Garden Place, which proudly holds three Michelin stars. I had the opportunity to savor the modern French cuisine of Joël Robuchon, a legendary figure in the world of French cuisine who has garnered numerous accolades. Additionally, I was looking forward to tasting the dishes of Chef Kenichiro Sekiya, who recently became the first Japanese to win the prestigious title of "Meilleur Ouvrier de France" in the French culinary world in November 2022. We opted for the Degustation course, which showcased the precision, freshness, and exquisite flavors of each dish. Every dish was a masterpiece, but the iconic "Caviar Imperial with Shellfish Jellied Smooth Cauliflower Cream" truly captured the essence of Robuchon's culinary style. The dish featured a delicate shellfish consommé jelly topped with smooth cauliflower cream and parsley purée, garnished with Sologne caviar and gold leaf, and accompanied by a crab salad. The artistic presentation and unforgettable flavors made it a standout dish. I would love to visit again for another exceptional French dining experience.

This time, I visited Joel Robuchon. The customer service from the reservation to the store was polite, and the atmosphere inside was calm. The simple and elegant table setting catches the eye first. All the dishes were perfect in appearance, taste, and aroma, especially the foie gras terrine was exquisite. The chocolate dessert was also rich and satisfying. The sommelier's wine recommendations were spot on. The prices are not cheap, but for this quality, it's worth it. A place to visit for a special occasion.

Kanaya Chef became the first Japanese to receive the M.O.F title, and upon seeing this news, I thought I would like to visit Robuchon someday. The food, drinks, desserts, and service were all luxurious, and I had a wonderful time. The delicious food aside, part of the motivation to visit Robuchon is the status associated with it. I will save up some money and hope to visit Robuchon again someday. Rating by Ainosuke: 5 - Excellent! 4 - Definitely recommendable 3 - A place you would want to visit multiple times 2 - Not a top recommendation, but still delicious 1 - Not that great 0 - Never going back

The staff were foreigners but spoke fluent Japanese. The course with unlimited bread and dessert cheese from the wagon was minimal but sufficient. I ended up feeling frustrated because I was so full. The service charge was high, but the atmosphere was truly the best, and I had a happy time.

"Gastronomy Joel Robuchon" is a French restaurant with 33 Michelin stars worldwide, a top-notch establishment among top-notch restaurants. The exterior and interior are on a completely different level from other places. The bread is delicious, but be careful not to overeat as you might end up feeling too full to move in the later part of the meal. The presentation, taste, and service of the dishes are all top-notch, providing a truly blissful dining experience. The price is high, but considering the unique experience and satisfaction you can only get here, it seems reasonable. Truly a world-class grand maison. It was delicious. Thank you for the feast. #GastronomyJoelRobuchon #EbisuGourmet #French #TokyoFrench #DeliciousFrench #EbisuDinner #ConnectWithGourmetLovers #GourmetStagram #GurumeMemo #ConnectWithFoodies #FoodPornGram #FoodTerrorGram #GourmetTravel #DeliciousIsHappiness #LookingForGourmetFriends #FoodieClub #FoodieGirls #FoodieGuys #WantToConnectWithFoodies #KantoGourmet #FoodReportGram #GourmetWriter #FoodWriter #BGradeGourmetInformation #TokyoFoodie"

Located in Ebisu Garden Place, the back garden, Joel Robuchon. Familiar from the Tokyo Girls Guide. The one and only restaurant that has captivated women and men alike with its allure for Tokyo. In the 2023 edition, it will have received Michelin three stars for 16 consecutive years. The first floor La Table also has two stars for 14 consecutive years. The feeling of excitement when walking straight towards the back of the Garden Place at dusk is truly due to the restaurant's prestige. While it may be stylish to combine it with the Westin, walking through the Garden Place is highly recommended. It starts from the entrance on the right. A chic woman in a black suit will guide you. If you arrive early, there is also a waiting area available. As we arrived right on time, we headed straight to the second floor. You can also receive directions to the restroom, so it's best to prepare beforehand. Opening the doors on the second floor reveals a classic and luxurious space. There is a chandelier hanging in the center, and mirrors everywhere you look. The dress code is smart casual. The waitstaff are friendly and approachable despite the high-class French atmosphere. Surprisingly, there are many young people inside, and it seems that many people come here to celebrate birthdays or anniversaries. The tables are spacious, with small side tables next to the chairs where you can place your belongings. We were recommended to start with a champagne toast. Champagne to start off the evening. My companion doesn't drink much, so we also ordered water. You can choose between sparkling or still water. Prices are not explicitly stated, but based on the receipt, champagne is around 5000 yen, a glass of wine is 4000 yen, and water starts at around 1500 yen. The price may vary depending on the brand of wine. It's a shame to hold back on pairing drinks with the food, but considering the prices, it's important to enjoy within your means. Non-alcoholic drinks are also available. If you can drink, it might be nice to enjoy a bottle. I would like to see the list if there is one. Now it's time to choose the menu. It's a serious decision. Robuchon is known for its generous portions. This time, we opted for the main course prix fixe menu to enjoy the wagon as well. There was a mishap where the menu with prices was handed to the other party, but this was also our fault. Since we entrusted the reservation to someone else, it seems that the message did not properly reach the restaurant. Normally, I would make the reservation myself, but in unusual situations, it's the host's responsibility to ensure that no mistakes occur. Careful attention is necessary. Now, it's time to choose the menu, but the names of the dishes are very French. Embarrassingly, I can't keep up with my imagination, so I will choose while listening to the explanations of the dishes that catch my interest. After ordering, all that's left is to wait. Two items are already decided before the appetizer. The bread wagon is the first wagon. Mini baguettes and rye bread for everyone. Robuchon has several bakeries, and the bread is very delicious. Eating these unlimited breads alone would make for a luxurious meal, but it's better to restrain yourself. You can choose from 10 varieties, and I chose the anchovy croissant and ratatouille bread. The waiter kindly advises not to overdo it, so you can relax. Of course, refills are free. And the butter is amazing. Each one has a different flavor. Amuse-bouche "Long shrimp and sea urchin béchamel sauce hot sandwich" A crispy appetizer to start with. It's not rich, but rather a subtle taste of the sea with creamy béchamel sauce and sea urchin. It's like a snack to enjoy the flavors of the sea. It's a warm amuse-bouche. Enjoy it with the elegant champagne. Next is the "Caviar Imperial." If you search for Robuchon, you'll see plenty of those images. Caviar is neatly laid on a base of minced crab, surrounded by a jellied concentrate of shellfish umami with a large amount of cauliflower and parsley mousse. The mousse sticks firmly to the jelly, so you scoop it up with a spoon. I don't have many opportunities to eat caviar, but it's incredibly delicious.

Imperial Caviar with crab meat underneath tastes like cheap canned food. When I ordered a glass of white wine to go with this dish, the Alsatian sweet wine made the caviar flavor disappear, making me doubt the sommelier's skills. I ended up getting a bottle of Gamay from Prulier-Lock, which usually costs around 7,000 yen in the market, but here it was 36,000 yen (including tax, of course). The sommelier kept insisting on helping with the wine selection, which made it hard for me to browse the wine list at my own pace. The foie gras soup tasted more like Picasso - the foie gras seemed to have completely blended into the soup, making it hard to enjoy the foie gras itself. The sea bass dish looked more like a Chinese dish, with a plating that completely ignored presentation aesthetics. The sea bass lacked flavor and freshness. However, the beef fillet was delicious, probably because it was prepared by an experienced chef. The dessert was not good, and my companions also left it uneaten. The dessert cart was fun to watch, with about four different desserts being brought out by the staff constantly. Overall, it was a disappointing experience, with the constant noise from the bustling back yard adding to the chaos. Perhaps if I had opted for the most expensive course, the experience would have been different. On a positive note, Chef Hirano's John Tierney Ash, who recently opened his own restaurant, is fantastic.

This time, I requested gluten-free and they went above and beyond for me!!! The course today was 60,000 yen. The scallop ravioli and beef Caesar salad, lobster, and specialty were all delicious! I think I ate at least 10 pieces of bread! www Truly the world-renowned Robuchon! Thank you again for today.

I visited after a year, and as always, every dish was exceptionally delicious. It was my first time visiting in the summer, and there were dishes made with summer vegetables that were light and tasty until the end. The explanations of the wines were easy to understand, and I was able to deepen my knowledge.

This is my second visit. I was able to try the famous caviar plate for the first time. It often catches your eye, but the consomme, crab, and caviar harmonized beautifully and were very delicious. The other menu items were not only tasty but also looked glamorous, like works of art. I ended up getting too full and had to skip the dessert cart x2, which was a shame. Thank you for a wonderful time.

I was invited to this restaurant before turning 30, and apparently people say that being invited here makes you a "beautiful woman" (laughs). When I mentioned to the nurses at Kobe University Hospital that I was going there, they said, "Wow, that's so nice! Show us some photos!" It seems to be a dream restaurant for Kobe women. I went there for my birthday celebration and it was amazing! Reservations are accepted two months in advance, so I made sure to do that. The exterior and interior of the restaurant are lovely and luxurious. I heard rumors that the birthday party of the late mother of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was also held here. I had a fantastic time and it exceeded my expectations. It was a dreamy three hours that flew by.

Let's get excited! Today, we visited the Gastronomy Joel Robuchon restaurant. We were invited to dine here, so thank you for the invitation! The facility is impressive, but let's enjoy ourselves with a positive attitude! As for the food, it was classic French cuisine with generous portions. Each dish had intricate details and delicious sauces. The bread served was also exceptional. The traditional caviar dish was visually stunning with a mix of crab and consommé, accented by the caviar. The fish dishes were delicious, but the main meat dish was particularly outstanding. It was tender, juicy, and satisfying. The desserts were also impressive, especially the cake selection. The mille-feuille with custard cream and crispy layers was a standout, along with the rich vanilla ice cream. Overall, it was a satisfying dining experience! Thank you for the delicious meal!

Robuchon is a restaurant that is so famous that almost everyone knows about it. It's always fully booked on weekends, but I was lucky enough to get a reservation for Saturday night. There is a dress code, so it's recommended to do some research beforehand to avoid any embarrassment. For men, wearing chinos and a jacket is usually acceptable for dinner. I decided to go with the prix fixe menu as there were a few things I didn't like on the seasonal menu that day. Upon being seated, a dedicated waiter provided detailed explanations of the dishes and recommended drinks. Even with the prix fixe menu, you get to enjoy the famous caviar. Each dish was not only beautifully presented but also had a unique taste, showing the chef's dedication. The tableside service was excellent, and the portions were quite generous, so be careful not to overeat! The atmosphere was luxurious, and I definitely felt a sense of exclusivity. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

This item is so delicious that it seems unfair to call it an amuse-bouche. ◆ Bread Wagon - Choose from a selection of premium breads sold in department stores, all-you-can-eat. The servers who smile and encourage you to have more and more bread make them seem like demons. I limited myself to two because I wanted to save room for the dessert wagon. The French fermented butter is naturally delicious. ◆ Caviar Imperial Robuchon Style - A dish that is so impressive from seeing it on Instagram. When you see it in person, you will be overwhelmed by its power. Just imagining how much time has been spent on this dish will make you dizzy. The caviar piled on top of the crab, surrounded by consomme jelly and cauliflower mousse. Everything comes together in perfect harmony, creating a perfectly delicious dish that would sound cheap to describe in words.

The three-star restaurant lives up to its reputation. The taste of all dishes is top-notch. Personally, I found the seafood dishes a bit disappointing, but everything else was delicious. The staff is quite numerous, and it feels like they can hear every conversation, which may create a sense of tension.

I had always wanted to visit this place at least once, and finally, I made a reservation and entered the castle! The staff guided me, and as I climbed the beautiful staircase, a luxurious space with golden decorations spread out before me. The Baccarat chandeliers, Swarovski embellishments, it was truly like a castle. The prix-fixe course for ¥25,000 (excluding tax) included dishes like the hand-caught prawn with uni and Périgord sauce on a waffle, which was delicious. The caviar imperial Lobsteron style was a classic dish, beautifully presented. The bread cart offered a variety of unique bread options, all of which were delicious. The French veal tonnato appetizer was not to my taste, but the Iberico pork main course with caramelized corn puree was simple and delicious. The passion fruit soufflé dessert was my favorite, while my partner's Satonishiki dessert stole the show. The dessert carts were overflowing with amazing cakes and pastries, and I tried a bit of everything. The cafe after the meal and the brioche souvenir were also delightful. The castle-like atmosphere and the overwhelming selection of sweets set this place apart from others. The food, while tasty, was not very memorable, perhaps due to my choices. Nonetheless, I was happy to finally visit the castle. Thank you for the feast.
