ラ ターブル ドゥ ジョエル・ロブション

My friend and I were fortunate to visit three different 2-star Michelin restaurants over this past week’s visit to Tokyo - one Kyoto style, one Kaiseki, and one French. I expected the Japanese styles would be the best given the locale, but the clear winner for us was La Table de Joël Robuchon. I was...n’t expecting it but every one of the courses was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. They just keep getting better and better. For me it’s now a can’t miss in Tokyo. Special shout out to one of our servers Jugiwala (apologies for misspelling) and of course the chef!

We had a lovely evening at La Table that serves an exquisite cuisine, at an incredibly low price for a 2 starred Michelin restaurant, as the menu with appetiser, main and dessert is priced at 60€ ! Of course you may inflate the bill if you go for some of the great wines they offer but it is still an... incredible experience in a stunning dining room and with an impeccable service. The castle style building is really surprising and worth the visit… Book well in advance if you want to have a spot !

After Antonio's and its 70s atmopshere, here I am in the mid 80s, in a lilac-themed dining room! Beautiful; I felt like Patrick Bateman in American Psycho (is this Dorsia?). We were originally booked on the terrace, which was sweet of the staff (it was my birthday..) but it really was too humid, s...o they kindly moved us inside. The 4-courses meal was splendid: imaginative, beautifully decorated, tasty, and filling. A feast for the eyes and the tastebuds! The staff was very friendly in a non-obsequious way. Because of Covid, no alcohol could be served, bummer. We had the fake bubbly to toast, but I declined the "non-alcohol red wine" for it is however you put it just grape juice in a fancy bottle. We left satiated and happy. I wanted a wonderful culinary experience and I received it. Definitely an "i'll be back".

Everyone heard the reputation. But when we chose this restaurant for our dinner, we slighted the fact that the famous French founder has already passed on, and the entire operation was in the hand of local operators. First of all, their communication skills during service was not adequate without cl...ear and detailed explanations about the food, drinks, and service. We found the real price of the bottle of wine we ordered only when they gave us the tab. It was a shocking price totally unexpected or printed on the menu. The food was localized to the local taste in Tokyo, and therefore not to our standards of French food. Wine was normally good, making it impossible to believe that it was over $500 per bottle. If you have that kind of money and time, there are tons of other cheaper, kinder, and more delicious French restaurants in Tokyo.

Fantastic meal, good wines and impeccable service. Everybody was gentle and very professionnal and helpful. We were at this restaurant for our ten years couple birthday and it was a perfect moment for celebrate this (with a special cake at the end).
