L'atelier Robuchon

We thoroughly enjoyed the lunch menu—an excellent choice that truly impressed. The food was delicious and well-prepared. However, I found the pricing on the drinks to be rather steep, with the markup considerably higher than the industry norm. In hindsight, I should have inquired more about the suggested wine pairing, especially since we ordered by the glass. While the meal was fantastic, the drink prices left a bit to be desired.

The food was top notch, excellent, quite classic and conservative in its flavor choices. Regarding service, for me the perfect service is seamless and unnoticeable. This was not that. The service was over-attentive in the begging but lagging towards the end as the restaurant got busy. Finally, my armagnac was served in a glass that was two sizes too large for its olfactory profile. They have Guerlain soap in the bathroom though, that was a nice surprise. All in all, an almost perfect experience with a few minor blemishes.

Excellent food and very good service. Only disappointment is not getting a sweet bit with our espresso. When you pay 9.- for an espresso, you would think it’s a given. I get it in a pizzeria when my espresso is 3.-.

We had a great time! The food, the atmosfere, the place set-up, the staff - everything is top! Besides the food experience (outstanding, as the Micheline stars recommends), it was a pleasant surprise to be surrounded by friendly staff who created a warm atmosfere for their professional service. It was very nice to see inside the kitchen, to watch the passion and happiness they put in each plate. Chef Olivier Jean was everywhere, watching carefully each move of his team. One lady from the staff asked us if it’s our first time at L’Atelier, we said ‘yes’, she told us ‘Welcome home!’ Indeed, we felt home and we’ll be back every time we’ll be in Geneva! Great team, great family - congratulations, Chef, and thank all of you for the lovely time we had!

Food was as expected, very good. What stood out was the professionalism and good humor the waiters. Merci et à la prochaine :)
