I’ve been fortunate enough to travel around the world but Paris retains a special place in my heart, especially when it comes to food and fine dining. I love great meals that are an adventure, and I love when the servers enjoy presenting the experience to me almost as much as I enjoy eating it!
Here’s a video of my lunch at Le Dali ( one of the restaurants at Hotel Le Meurice in Paris. All the food at the palace hotel is overseen by the great French chef Alain Ducasse.
The room is spectacular, designed by Philippe Starck and an homage to Salvador Dali. The great Dali lived at the hotel on and off for 20 years and you can stay in the Dali Suite where he lived.
The executive chef is Jocelyn Herland, he was the executive chef at Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester before coming to work at Le Meurice. The menu is split between traditional Parisian classics and Mediterranean cuisine. Le Dai is a celebration of the Ducasse vision of contemporary cuisine – sincere, flavorful and made to share.
Lunch started with some Venetian style shrimp. I had the daily special which was veal medallions with vegetables. My girl had the grilled monkfish. For dessert, I had a Cedric Grolet pear and she had the chocolate tart.
Le Meurice is one of the world’s great luxury hotels. It first opened in 1815 and moved to its current location in 1835. The Dorchester Collection ( property is on the Rue di Rivoli across from the Tuileres Gardens.
