I have heard from a reputable source in the industry, but not confirmed, that Alain Ducasse is closing or has just closed. If true, this would certainly be one of the most visible restaurant closures emanating from the souring...

Lucky for me, I have been getting a lot of invites to lunch and dinner lately because I just celebrated a birthday. This afternoon, I indulged in a 3 hour lunch at Alain Ducasse. The dining room’s granite columns and gilded...

a restaurant in the U. S. Overhearing this we were excited. Alain Ducasse on this side of the ocean! But after the meal our opinions changed. We have no intention of visiting any of the many restaurants he now lends his name to,...

You can check the alain ducasse website for prices and the current autumn menu. I would expect to pay at least 500 euros for two.

Hi! I am thinking of going to Alain Ducasse in Paris in November and would appreciate any comments or reports. I would also appreciate estimates of the cost as it is supposed to be one notch above most other 3-star restaurants in...

I did a search on Chowhound and read many previous posts pertaining to Alain Ducasse at The Essex House, however, I was wondering if anyone has comments on the $65 lunch special. A friend is taking me next week, and I am a bit...

After coming across the website, I am thinking that Spoon may be a restaurant we would enjoy. Upscale vegetarian options and fish. Can anyone comment on an experience there? L’Arpege sounds wonderful and similar to a dining...

I had four nights to spend in Manhattan, and to me, that means four great dinners. The first was at Alain Ducasse's new place, Adour. This was to be followed up by Le Bernardin, Jean Georges, and finally, Per Se. Ever since his...

Am planning a 40th birthday dinner. any thoughts on which is better? per se, daniel, alain ducasse, le bernardin? any other suggestions?

a friend is coming to Paris for a visit in march. I am trying to decide which one restaurant will be the big “splurge”. Can anyone share dining experiences at Pierre Gagnaire, Restaurant du Plaza Athenée and Le...

. Ducasse has the more extensive wine list. Both restaurants have websites that list current menus (actually, the ducasse website was just updated to include the new spring menu), and in Ducasse's case the entire restaurant...
