On an esplanade overlooking Boulevard du Larvotto and the Japanese Garden, this restaurant pays tribute to the great French chef. Behind a swanky black façade, a rattan-furnished terrace leads into a cosy dining area with green-upholstered banquettes and chairs and a marble floor. While the famous Robuchon mashed potato is served with each main course, the master’s influence remains discreet. The à la carte lineup stars pedigree Gallic classics with a scattering of Mediterranean notes: carpaccio of greater amberjack in citrus fruit and pink berries, salt crusted seabass, free-range poultry and morels in vin jaune, Rossini beef and Périgueux sauce. The Petit Café Robuchon, opposite and open non-stop, rolls out pure-bred classics together with Mediterranean dishes: primavera vegetables and parmesan gnocchetti; salt crusted seabass with courgettes; free-range roast chicken with a cassolette of morels in vin jaune; beef fillet with a Périgueux sauce.
