An unforgettable experience at the highest level. Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester is not just a restaurant – it’s a stage for culinary perfection. From the moment you step inside, you can sense that every detail has been thoughtfully curated, from the ambiance to the final bite. The cuisine is simply outstanding.

For those seeking true haute cuisine, this is an absolute must. Wholeheartedly recommended – We will definitely return.

Incredible food supported by amazing service. A real experience with some stand out dishes and some that will challenge you. Wine pairing was well worth doing with the knowledgable Somellier passing on interesting nuggets with each wine.

Wonderful predinner starters including caviar with cream on chickpea crackers and lemon from Nice, to mushroon tartlet, warm comte puffs, and several more. The proteins were mostly cooked beautifully. Scallop was velvety and pillowy, the zucchini dish really showcased the vegetable using multiple cooking techniques (grilled, cold ribbons, souffle, baked, 2 types of sauces) and temperatures, the lobster was fragrant and sweet, pigeon smoked in hay was deliciois. My personal taste, the chicken mousse in the lobster dish was a tad salty especially when paired with linster bisque (the bisque and confit king oysters were delicious), the aubergine paired with the pigeon was on the tart side (i loved the fried sardine bones though), and the cheese condiments had alot of prune/nuts which i couldn't really have due to allergies and the brie didn't feel like it sang between comte and rockford. The grapefruit sorbet with vermouth was an excellent pallet cleaser before dessert.

Absolute culinary experience!! Everything was impeccable but my highlight was the newly added dessert which is the Golden apple! They first dehydrated the apple then rehydrated it again as part of the cooking process to give a unique texture to it and I've never tasted anything like that before !!
