Le Meurice – Alain Ducasse’s Michelin-Starred Paris Dining
Le Meurice Alain Ducasse – Three Michelin-Starred Dining in Paris
Located inside the legendary Le Meurice Palace overlooking the Tuileries Garden, Alain Ducasse's flagship restaurant offers one of Paris' most refined dining experiences. Contemporary French haute cuisine, extraordinary precision and impeccable palace service come together in a spectacular dining room inspired by the Salon de la Paix at Versailles.
TLC Paris tip: If you're celebrating a special occasion, reserve dinner to experience the restaurant at its most theatrical.
