Robert made lunch reservations a few weeks in advance at Joel Robuchon's L'Atelier in Saint-Germain. Little did I know how famous Joel Robuchon is! He has been named "Chef of the Century," awarded the Meilleur Ouvrier de France (France's best craftsman), and has 26 Michelin Guide Stars from his dozen restaurants all over the world. 26!!!
We sat down and I knew I was in for a gastronomique treat.

L'Atelier is new-aged fine-dining at its best with its trendy atmosphere and deliciously thought-out and executed food.
