Joël Robuchon's restaurants are spread across major global cities, with establishments in Taipei, Shanghai, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Las Vegas, Bangkok, Paris, London, and Monaco, all showcasing his culinary expertise. His most beloved and talked-about signature dish is mashed potatoes.

The interiors of Joël Robuchon restaurants predominantly feature a wine-red color scheme as the main visual theme.
