We came here for the first time in 2024, then again this weekend. The food, as always, is faultless. The degustation tasting menu is where it shines -- this is really French haute cuisine at its best. Their signature caviar course over lobster gelee and dots of cauliflower puree finished with gold leaf is as beautiful as it is decadent. Highlights include the bread cart with French-imported butter, and the mignardises "chariot." While menus do change seasonally, Joel Robuchon is every bit as extravagant, over the top, yet refined as their 3 Michelin stars would attest. L'Atelier next door offers a more interactive and budget option, but lacks the impact compared to the flagship. If you're looking for a fancy night out in Las Vegas, look no further.
It isn’t often I feel the experience was perfect but our dinner at Joel Robuchon was perfect tonight for our family. We haven’t been back to Joel Robuchon in 20 years and we’re so glad we’re back in Las Vegas. We’re normally at L’Atelier but it’s nice to be back at the main restaurant where everything is refined.
We opted for the non-tasting menu since our group likes to choose what we eat.
The amuse bouche was light, tangy, flavorful- sangria gel with fruit. It definitely got my taste buds ready. We had lobster and foie gras for the two appetizers and had wagyu beef and lobster bouillabaisse for the entrees (had same orders for the 2 out of 3 of us), and chocolate soufflé and rhubarb for dessert. Everything was perfectly cooked, temped, and delicious. The bread cart is delicious- our favorite is the personal baguette. It’s crunchy, light, and fluffy all at the same time, and with the Normandy butter and salt, it can be a meal on its own. Then, there’s the pastry/candy/sweets cart with 42 different delights. I think the Joel Robuchon baker and pastry chef are phenomenal. I highly recommend.
I have tried some French restaurants but not a big fan. So far, Joel robuchon and Eiffle tower are my favorites.
If you make the reservation via MGM app or website, there are only 2 options listed: tasting menu and express menu which you can decide which tier among 3 you order on site. They also have vegan menu and Wine pairing.
If you state the special occasion while booking the reservation, they normally offer the complimentary cake for the birthdays or anniversaries. And each table gets a loaf of pound cake to take home.
My favorites here are lobster, scallops, and the cold creamy foie gras. The famous French duck always scares me as it’s too raw, so our server had the chef prepare ours medium which is not as raw as other tables.
The bread cart and dessert cart are fun presentations yo your eyes. And you get to select what you like and ask for more if needed later.
It’s actually an intimate (not spacious) dining environment but with classy and luxurious interior design with indoor and patio (still indoor) seatings.
There are 3 different areas of the restaurant: waiting area with open bar, main dining room, and the artificial garden seating.
The service is lean back and friendly, comparing to the solemn servers in Eiffel Tower.
Our experience at Joël Robuchon was truly unforgettable. We chose the tasting menu, allowing the chef to surprise us with each course, and every single dish exceeded our expectations. Every dish was beautifully presented, perfectly balanced, and absolutely delicious.
What made the evening even more special was the exceptional service. From the moment we arrived until the end of our dinner, every detail was handled with genuine care and professionalism. We also had the incredible opportunity to visit the kitchen, which made the experience even more memorable. Meeting the chef and seeing where such extraordinary dishes are created was a true privilege.
A very special thank you to Kai, Yann, Driss, and Ygor for making us feel so welcome throughout the evening. Your kindness, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality made our experience even more meaningful. Please also extend our gratitude to the Executive Chef, who graciously welcomed us into the kitchen. It was an honor to meet him.
The food was extraordinary, but the people made the experience unforgettable. The service was simply perfect from beginning to end.
If I could leave a review every time I visit, I absolutely would. Thank you all for an incredible evening—we’re already looking forward to coming back.
Had the pleasure of dining here in April 2026. Overall, it was a great dining experience that was very suitable to Vegas. Definitely a good spot for celebration, but not necessarily for foodie
+ The entire experience was just extravagant: bread and mignardises carts with unlimited selections; abundance of classically expensive ingredients like caviar, lobster, wagyu, foie gras in most dishes and at relatively big portions; tastefully decorated dining room; precise and impeccable service from every single servers for the entire dinner.
+/- None of the dishes were outstanding to me. It could be because I prefer a more modern take on French food. Presentation was a bit messy, and some of the accompaniments didn’t work (hard pass on that iceberg lettuce with scallop). Their uni was the most disgusting uni I’ve ever had in this life
+ The best dishes to me were the foie gras, scallop, wagyu, mashed potato, panna cotta. All the bread I tried was good, accompanied by the amazing Bordier butter. For dessert cart, I preferred the chocolate stuff over the baked goods, which were underwhelming
