Restaurant le Meurice Alain Ducasse

Not my 1st M star restaurant, but my 1st in a foreign country (to me) visiting from Chicago. Wow! Impressive venue, ambiance, and seating areas! From bar and intimate to the dinning room you see in my photos. Enjoyed a fine dinning experience with my 6 year old child and wife. Certainly not the child's favorite food, but they got to experience a plethora of flavors and found a few they did enjoy. I was very surprised the staff had a coloring book and a few options to help the child have a good experience too. My wife and I loved the food. Great displays and unique experiences. Combined and paired with guided wine, and a very attentive staff! If you are visiting and can swing the price, this is one experience not to miss! Book early, months before you go! Id come back just for the pairing of cheeses, and seafood. Thats my weakness! Then a proper selection of Cognac and expresso to end the night. Plan on spending at least 3 hours with proper timing, consumption and table talk!

From the very first moment until the very last, everything was absolutely perfect. We came here for breakfast, and the experience exceeded all expectations. The service is truly exceptional — warm, attentive, and present at every step. Everyone smiles, genuinely wants to help, and makes you feel welcome without ever being intrusive. You immediately feel surrounded by care and professionalism. Our waiter was simply wonderful — friendly, humorous, attentive, and incredibly intuitive. He gave great recommendations, was always nearby, and seemed to respond even before we had to ask. That kind of service is rare and makes all the difference. The food was excellent. Everything was fresh, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. The bakery selection was outstanding, and the prices were more than reasonable for such a high level of quality and service — especially considering how much we ordered. A special highlight was the dessert: the French toast. It was unlike any French toast we’ve ever had — incredibly light, airy, and delicate, nothing like the usual bread-based version. Absolutely delicious and truly memorable. The interior is stunning — elegant, refined, and calming. You sit there and genuinely enjoy life, the moment, the beauty around you. The atmosphere makes you feel relaxed, happy, and taken care of. Everything flows effortlessly. We’ve had breakfast at Hôtel Plaza Athénée before and were very satisfied there — but this experience was even better. Every detail was thoughtful, every interaction pleasant, and the overall feeling was simply wonderful. If you’re looking for an exceptional breakfast experience in Paris — this is the place. Flawless service, beautiful surroundings, delicious food, and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay longer. Truly top level.

Incredible restaurant well worth the hype. The food was spectacular (both the presentation and the taste). The ambiance feels royal and the staff are very friendly and accommodating.

We were going to a different place to eat, and accidentally walk in to this place and man we weren’t disappointed!!! What a nice place ! Just the atmosphere in general and food, service, music. Takes you decades back and makes feel like you are living the life)))

Coming from an Asian palate, I found the food refined but a bit subtle for my taste. The dining room, however, is absolutely stunning easily one of the most beautiful I’ve seen. If you’re mainly there for the atmosphere, breakfast or lunch is more than enough, dinner isn’t really necessary.
