According to Joel Robuchon, he believes "going to restaurants privately it's for his own pleasure and I seek out simple, warm, laid back places", he said, "I don't care whether the space is traditional or contemporary and I don't like restaurants where there's lots of ceremony and fuss. I have some pet hates, too. Bad lighting makes such a big difference to the feel of a restaurant, and it irks me when air conditioning units are placed directly above tables. It's something you see in too many restaurants and, although I'd go ahead and eat my meal if I ended up in such a place, I definitely wouldn't go back. It's just unpleasant being able to feel the air being pumped out straight above your head when you're trying to appreciate the food".

Here is s list of his favorite restaurants around the world.
