The more accessible and cheaper Tea Room & Boulangerie under the Robuchon’s L’Atelier restaurant, you could order light lunches and dinners here, as well as well made pastries and cakes ~ the latter being looked after by Japanese Patissier 中村忠史さん, who worked under the Robuchon’s regime in Tokyo.
Raspberry Chocolate Cake -
This was sliced from a tray into strips, with a red powdered coating.
Looked better than it tasted ~ 8/10
Some pre-dinner Bread with cultured French butter,
and a oven heated Croissant ~
7/10
Riso al Salto -
Fried rice with Taleggio Cheese, Baby Spinach and Parma Ham,
this tasted pretty strong and was overly salty (same problem I found with dishes upstairs), but nevertheless very tasty ~ 8.5/10
Le Cheese Burger de Kagoshima with Pommes Frites -
The skinless frites were very good, even the ketchup tasted quite natural.
Burger was cute but too tiny @ $160! Brioche bun was good, but beef was overcooked and had no Wagyu beef taste. Overall, slightly disappointing.. ~
6.9/10
Robuchon’s French Club Sandwich -
Sealed at the edges inside a Jaffle Iron, this toastie version comes with Tomato, Chicken, Egg, Ham, Cheese. Its not bad, but for something listed under Les Frivolites Gourmandes, its a bit underwhelming and wouldn’t give Quiznos any frights ~
7/10
Salmon Finger, Salted Caramel Tart with Caffe Latte ~
Sandwich slices here are uninspiring, contained in a miniature plastic box.
The Salted Caramel Tart is good, better than most other desserts here.
Coffee and tea here are great rather than excellent ~
Salmon Sandwich 5/10 ~ Coffee 7/10 ~ Salted Caramel Tart 7.5/10
Shop and Boulangerie Counter
Take-Out Macarons & Croissant -
Croissant not so buttery but flakily layered.
Macarons not crispy outside or chewy inside at all -
disappointing, coming from Robuchon’s favourite Patissier 中村忠史さん,
whom he once claimed makes the best Macarons in the world.
Croissant 7.5/10 ~ Macarons 6.9/10
