L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon - Hong Kong Hong Kong

L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon is on the fourth floor of the Landmark Atrium at 15 Queen's Road Central. It is a five-minute walk from the IFC Mall, keeping the dining room above the city's primary retail thoroughfare.

The restaurant holds three stars from the Michelin Guide and a grand award from Wine Spectator. While the surrounding Central district offers frantic turnover and quick-stop bistros, this room runs smart and deliberate. You choose it for the modern French menu that demands a slower pace than the neighbouring venues. It stays detached from the nearby Lan Kwai Fong rush, despite being just a ten-minute walk away. Where the rest of the street prioritizes speed to match the office crowds, this venue relies on the gravity of its no. 57 ranking on La Liste.
