There are only a few big chefs in the world that can count 21 michelin stars. (all the restaurants under his name combined together)
The restaurant Alain Ducasse at the Dorchester is food at its best.
In the world there are few 3 Michelin stars restaurants that can offer this level of food and consistence. Awarded 3 Michelin stars from 2010, keeps offering the best of the best.
You can’t leave this restaurant with disappointment (besides the bill if you can’t afford it).

The food
Amazing. Especially the tasting menu with truffle.
Of course you have to order the tasting menu and indulge yourself in every single dish.
The Wine
40 pages of wines devided by Regions, grapes, producer and year.
A High percentage are wines from France however the sommelier will be happy to advice you about wines from other parts of Europe and around the world.
Tips
It’s particularly easy to find a table so you don’t have to book in advance.
This isn’t a glamour restaurant and so it isn’t as full as it should be.
The Business Side
The restaurant isn’t really designed for business purpose. Or at least not for making a bunch of money from it.
The main reason of the restaurant is to give a higher prestige to the hotel Dorchester and to Alain Ducasse.
I visited the restaurant several time and it is never completely full.
Brand awareness
Yes Alain Ducasse is a famous chef and and his fame keeps up this restaurant.
However the lack completely of brand awareness regarding the restaurant itself is amusing.
Start from the logo… who will recognise the logo besides Andy Hayler and other few foods critics?
Social Media
I strongly disagree with the marketing strategy behind this restaurant.
Basically there is no marketing strategy, and as the Fat Duck, they aren’t on any social network.
The fact that you are sophisticated 3 michelin stars restaurants doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t show off your food and restaurant.
