Great news this

I had a superb meal there in Paris a few months ago

Not sure if it will be a sitting on bar stools place like the Paris Restaurant.

Wonder how they'll get on at that site though

atelier in london has been rumoured many times, ramsay's atelier-a-like maze is in the last site he looked at i believe.

it's round the corner from the Ivy there isn't it? can't say i've ever seen the site though.

This seems a little more concrete this time if the report is to be believed. As Gary said, he was looking at the Maze site, Ramsay snapped it up after Robuchon rejected it/couldn't come up with a deal, and using a similar concept opened L'atelier du Atherton..sorry Maze.

Is Robuchon spreading the concept too thinly? Initial reports from Atelier in Paris were very positive, I had a great meal there shortly after it opened but I think there have been a fair few dud reviews mixed in with the good ones since. Make no mistake this is not a cheap eat in Paris and I imagine that it will be the same here as well.

I was looking forward to a Spring opening of Robuchon. I just heard a rumour that it has been delayed to the September/October!

10 September is the current official date.
