Restaurant Le Meurice Alain Ducasse

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Palace Address on the Rue de Rivoli

At 228 Rue de Rivoli, overlooking the Tuileries Garden, Restaurant Le Meurice Alain Ducasse occupies one of the most storied dining rooms in Paris. The setting — a gilded, chandelier-hung salon modeled on the Salon de la Paix at Versailles — frames an experience rooted in the grand tradition of French cuisine, shaped by the vision of one of the world's most recognized chefs.

Alain Ducasse at the Helm

The restaurant bears Alain Ducasse's name for good reason. His approach to French cuisine here is one of precision and respect for classical technique, elevated by an uncompromising attention to ingredient quality. The kitchen carries forward a legacy that has made this address a benchmark for serious dining in the French capital.

A Wine Program Worth the Recognition

Wine Spectator awarded the restaurant its Best of Award of Excellence in 2024 — a distinction that reflects the depth and curation of a cellar built to complement the ambitions of the kitchen. For guests who take their French cuisine seriously, the wine list is as much a destination as the food itself.

Dinner in a Category of Its Own

Reserved for the evening, the experience at Le Meurice Alain Ducasse is unhurried and considered. The room, the service, the plates, and the glass all move together toward something that Paris does better than anywhere — a dinner that feels like an occasion without requiring you to treat it as one.
