Operated by global hospitality group The Bastion Collection, L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon Miami brings Robuchon’s groundbreaking concept to the heart of the Miami Design District led by Executive Chef James Friedberg. L’Atelier’s name refers to a craftsman’s workshop, emphasizing Chef Robuchon’s hallmark of elevating the simplest of dishes into something extraordinary using pristine ingredients, immaculate technique, and abundant creativity.
The original inspiration for the concept was to meld the interactive sushi counters of Japan and the tapas style of service found in Spain with his Modern French cuisine. L’Atelier’s signature counter seating directly faces the open kitchen, allowing for dynamic interaction between chefs, the service team, and guests while providing a view into the creative process. In Miami, the 34-seat dining counter is designed to evoke warmth and conviviality and create a unique fine dining experience.
L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon Miami received two MICHELIN Stars at Florida’s first MICHELIN Guide ceremony in 2022 and has maintained them every year since, most recently in the 2026 Florida MICHELIN Guide, making it the first and only two-MICHELIN-starred restaurant in South Florida and Miami. Led by Executive Chef James Friedberg alongside Chef de Cuisine Tycho van Mierlo and Executive Pastry Chef Salvatore Martone directing the pastry program, the restaurant features Robuchon’s iconic signature dishes alongside new, ever-changing seasonal creations utilizing ingredients sourced from top local and regional purveyors. L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon Miami is part of The Bastion Collection, which also operates the two-MICHELIN-starred L’Atelier Robuchon in Geneva.
