Concierge "L'Atelier is innovative, totally nonsmoking, and fun, as long as you don't mind the counter-only service, high-rise stools, and reservation policy."
Fodor's "Robuchon's devoted kitchen staff whip up small plates for grazing... as well as full portions, which can turn out to be the better bargain." Full review
Insight Guides "L’Atelier is more casual (although that’s relative), with a sleek counter and tasting plates of simple yet rich dishes such as lobster salad and whipped potatoes."
Travel + Leisure "Menus include full-size entrées and smaller a la carte dishes, such as foie gras with asparagus, as well as decadent desserts." Full review
Zagat4.5
""Each course is more taste-bud-popping than the previous" at Joël Robuchon's "casually chic" Saint-Germain and L'Étoile duo." Full review
BlackBook "Joël Robuchon “retired” from a three-star career in 1996, only to return in 2003 with a democratic approach that ditches the pomp of haute cuisine."
Gayot15.0

Gayot13.0
"The capable director of the set, M. Auboyneau, has successfully devoted his efforts to present a real cuisine at prices of the past century, or almost." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This bistro’s popularity is not surprising, given its combination of vintage decor – complete with zinc bar – and classic bistro cooking."
Rough Guide "A mix of locals and visitors flock here for the cosy, friendly ambience and high-quality simple fare."
Time Out "This heart-warming bistro gets it right almost down to the last crumb." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "The steak au poivre is bathed in a sauce of pan drippings and cream spiked with coarse Sarawak pepper and Cognac. The double-fried frites are crispy bliss." Full review
Zagat3.5
"“Off the beaten path” in the 11th lies this “boisterous” bistro serving a “solid”, midpriced menu “with beef the star” (“best steaks in town” claim many) plus “interesting” wines." Full review
