Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester

Celebrated French chef Alain Ducasse, considered by many to be one of the best chefs in the world, lends his name to The Dorchester hotel's exquisite French fine dining restaurant. Executive chef Jean-Philippe Blondet is in charge of day-to-day operations, serving up three Michelin-starred modern French haute cuisine in the opulent surroundings of the Park Lane hotel.

Blondet and his team create dishes that merge classic French techniques with the very best British and French produce in season. Choose from a three-course à la carte menu or seven-course tasting menu. Vegetarians are also catered for with a completely vegetarian seven-course Menu Jardin. Signature dishes include the “Sauté gourmand” of lobster, truffled chicken quenelles and homemade pasta; and dry-aged beef, artichoke and bone marrow. Head sommelier Vincenzo Arnese offers knowledgeable wine recommendations from the 1000-bin, constantly-evolving wine list

The dining room is contemporary and elegant. Natural materials such as leather and wood combine with quirky elements such as thousands of silk buttons in different shades of green. For a real wow-factor experience, eat in the semi-private "Table Lumière", surrounded by shimmering fibre optics.
