Joël Robuchon

Saturday night Ryan and I enjoyed a dinner out in Roppongi Hills at L'Atelier, one of several world wide establishments of the famous French chef and restaurateur, Joël Robuchon. He has been awarded the title of Chef of the Century, and his restaurants carry a total of 25 Michelin Stars, the most of any chef in the world. Needless to say, our palates were pleased and we left the restaurant with the feeling that we'd just experienced something extraordinary. Unfortunately, since the menu was in French, I'm not completely certain of what ingredients our course contained. While at times a bit mysterious, any concerns of uncomfortable strangeness were quickly vanquished after the initial taste when the food flaunts it's flavor on your tongue.
Most of the seating at the restaurant is at the bar which overlooks the "artists" at their work.
