## About Gastronomy Joël Robuchon

Housed in a château-style villa on the edge of Ebisu Garden Place, Gastronomy Joël Robuchon has carried three MICHELIN Stars since 2008, longer than almost any other dining room in the city. Chef Kenichiro Sekiya, who trained directly under Robuchon before his passing, now runs the kitchen with the same doctrine: reduce every dish to its essential technique, then execute that technique without error. The pommes purée alone — worked through a tamis on a ratio of butter to potato that the kitchen has never disclosed — remains the reason regulars book a table a season out. This is French cuisine at its most exacting, served in a room built for occasion rather than casual return visits.

## Menu highlights

- **La Pomme de Terre — pommes purée** ¥6,600 *Passed through a drum sieve three times; butter content the kitchen keeps confidential*
- **Le Caviar sur un Œuf de Poule Mollet** ¥12,100 *Soft-boiled egg, cauliflower cream, Ossetra caviar, served in the shell*
- **Menu Le Bourgogne (dinner tasting menu, 8 courses)** ¥55,000 *Signature tasting course pairing Sekiya's repertoire with a Burgundy-focused wine list*

1. ★★★★★ 5.0 Editorial sample Booked this for my parents' fortieth anniversary — the maître d' remembered a dietary note I'd emailed six weeks earlier without me repeating it. The pigeon course was the best thing I ate in Tokyo this year. — Naomi Fujita · 14 March 2026 Response from Gastronomy Joël Robuchon Thank you for trusting us with such an important evening, Fujita-san. We look forward to welcoming your family again.
2. ★★★★★ 5.0 Editorial sample The purée is not a gimmick, it genuinely changes how you think about mashed potato. Service is formal but never stiff, and the sommelier steered us to a Volnay we'd never have picked ourselves. — Marcus Ellender · 22 January 2026

### How far in advance should I book Gastronomy Joël Robuchon?

Reservations open two months ahead to the day and dinner slots on weekends typically fill within the first week. For a specific date tied to an anniversary or business trip, book the morning the window opens; weekday lunch has more flexibility, sometimes available with two to three weeks' notice.

### Is there a dress code?

Yes. Jackets are required for men at dinner and encouraged at lunch; the room does not admit sneakers, shorts, or sandals. Robuchon's Tokyo flagship treats the dining room as formal occasion space, consistent with its château styling.
