Joël Robuchon has 28 Michelin stars, the most any chef has in the world. He has restaurants in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Taipei, Las Vegas, Paris, and of course London, where he’s gone for a Japanese aesthetic but stuck to French cuisine.
On the ground floor diners sit at a counter where tapas-sized dishes are prepared in front of them to their specifications. The first floor restaurant has a more conventional set-up, with the added bonus of an exposed kitchen and wood-fire oven. Here a seasonal menu of modern French dishes with global influences is on offer. And of course, no restaurant worth its salt would be complete without a destination bar. Aside from cocktails and a smart wine list the bar snacks include rillettes, foie gras and Iberico ham.

London's best Fine Dining Restaurants
So much more than just a dandy plate of food
It’s a clever concept: the countertop eating may be Japanese-inspired, but the dishes are modern takes on Gallic classics. Diners watch their meal being prepared to their own specifications; stunning presentation, and of course flavours, complete the experience.
Our pick of London's award-winning restaurants
These have all picked up a gong or two... or three
As well as two Michelin stars and awards courtesy of Zagat, Tatler Restaurant Awards and Cateys, the restaurant was voted one of Britain’s coolest brands in 2011 by 2,000 members of the public. Joël Robuchon is no stranger to receiving prizes - his restaurants now number 25 Michelin stars in total, more than any other chef in the world.
Restaurants with the best Tasting Menus in London
Strap yourself in and prepare to taste
Robuchon is the only chef to have won 28 Michelin stars, and although the man himself isn’t in the kitchen you can try his modern French cuisine with either the5 or 8 course “menu decouverte”.
London's top restaurant bars
More than just a waiting area
The elegant red and black décor of this bar says grown-ups only, while cocktails like the cherry cola cubalibre are frivolous and fun. If you get peckish there is a concise menu of meat, fish and vegetables on skewers.
London's most expensive restaurants
It doesn't hurt to push the boat out
Joël Robuchon has the most Michelin stars of any living chef, therefore his London restaurant is a suitably high class affair. Spread over three floors, the Japanese-inspired décor is subtle yet glamorous, and the menu is a total splurge with dishes like turbot in Champagne sauce and quail stuffed with foie gras.
