Alain Ducasse is
French haute cuisine, French haute cuisine is Alain Ducasse.
Well, maybe not, but without doubt, he is one of the famous
French chef in the world and his name has become a synonym
of the French gastronomy. It was my third time at
Alain Ducasse's Parisian location and like previous two
times, the food was far away from "wow" level, but good
enough to come back again and again.
The cooking at
Alain Ducasse is without any risks. No surprise why - Alain
Ducasse at Plaza Athénée is kind of high end tourists spot
and the restaurant assumes that.( Most of the tables were
foreign that night ( Japanese, Russians, maybe only one
table speaking French)) The French waiter speaking fluently
Russian, and small copies of Eiffel tower on each table...
You get the picture...
Ravioli of foie gras in mushroom broth for an amuse bouche (
excellent)...
... green aspargus with "mimosa" condiment (eggs
and
cheese
sticks((i could swear there was also cheese in it, but maybe i
was wrong)) with truffle vinaigrette (basic and boring)...
... lobster with spicy curry ( very good)...
