267085 Wed Nov 09 00:17:33 -0800 2005 3 26 International 0 1408363 I am going to Paris in December for a special birthday dinner at Taillevant (lucky me--going to a real 3 star place and not an okay we'll give you 3 stars so you'll buy our books and tires) Anyhow, I was planning on running over to L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon for my first lunch--I really love Joel. I recently read they are now taking reservations. I know they were taking them for 11:30 lunch and 6pm dinner. But the article I read said the had a 1pm lunch reservation. Is this so or were they confusing L'Atelier with Le Table? Wed Nov 09 00:17:33 -0800 2005 0 fai jay 1 1408369 Why not just call them and find out? I've found that restaurants of this ilk always have English speaking people responding to phone calls and that a quick call to establish info of the type you want is pretty cheap.

I am planning much more and will post on my return. Wed Nov 09 12:07:48 -0800 2005 1408369 0 fai jay 1 1408375 We just ate there on Monday. I believe they only accept two seating reservations -- 11:30 am (which was what we had) and 6:00 pm. They actually didn't bother opening until 11:50, which was a bit annoying, but I digress. Standout dishes were L'Oeuf, L'Agneau de Lait (served with delicious pommes puree), and the gazpacho. Wed Nov 09 11:59:15 -0800 2005 1408363 0 emily
