Great place .Memorable
We are not very enamoured with royalty right now
Great video, Alain Ducasse is one of our masters.
kool
Having more staff than guests is actually crazy
Alexander I always appreciate when your videos come out. It is nice to see into the world of where the wealthy dine at.
whats the cookbook called? i’m interested in it .
Thank you for this video, now I know where to eat next time I'm in Monaco!
Was there 2 weeks ago, feels like Circus, not at the restaurant, in front of it😂
I can't see you beating that experience, that was absolutely incredible in every way
Anyone can tell me what the song in the background is at the 15 minute mark?
This has put a smile on my face, pure unadulterated luxury, and your love and appreciation for it shines through 💌
wow looks stunning.. I stayed at the hotel de paris many years ago was fabulous ! although was a bit dissapointed with room service food, Nice to see they have a new menu now :).. Love your channel 🙂
The most expensive item is the service in this resturant.
Note: Emmanuel Pilon is the head chef of the world-famous three-Michelin-starred restaurant Le Louis XV – Alain Ducasse à l'Hôtel de Paris in Monaco. He took over the position in May 2022 and was nominated as "Cuisinier de l'Année" (Chef of the Year) by Gault&Millau for 2026.
Delightful. ❤
The artichoke oil was such a beatiful move
The fact that you have shown to call out bad food/service/atmosphere when you find it makes a video like this all the more special <3
I definitely believe that the purpose of service is to create lifelong experiences for the guest.👏👏
I just ate rome baba today in one of the best Italian restaurants in Barcelona and it was almost the same and really delicious
Take me!!
7:13 “I heard you liked artichoke…”
16:45, would be the reason I would pay a visit to this place
Bullshit. Any self-respecting chef would never serve such copied and over-indulgent recipes on their menu. It's all to make a quick buck because those can afford it care about nothing less. They're selling you garbage on a plate and charging you ridiculous prices all while making you feel like you're not worthy enough to eat their trash. Try your local diner/restaurant, you'll be full and have a better meal.
What an experience!! Because of Alexander I have been going to the Michelins in Mexico City. Sad to say they have not yet measured up to these jaw-droppings meals
No matter how good the food is, service can make or break your experience.
One of the most disappointing three-star restaurants to me. 😔 The main room is busier than an airport; you can actually see that on the video. The amount of servers coming in and out is insane. There was a point during our dinner when I counted 17 personnel in the room. Sadly, while the room was buzzing, the dishes stayed quiet. It's not even that they weren't three stars; they weren't one star to me either. Not a disaster, just utterly forgettable. The next day, I could not recall a single one, maybe with the exception of a pretty nice rhum baba. And there is no real connection or warmth to the service. It is nomen omen—serviceable, but that's it.
I stand by my review, but to be clear, I'm not saying Alexander has bad taste. I'm just inclined to believe when the restaurant understands that the man himself is in the house, suddenly they discover they can deliver a much better service and a higher quality menu.
Best episode yet! Loved it!!!
thank you for bringing the subtitles back
amazing.
I have been here. I watched the previous video as well 1:46 1:46
This place looks incredible, this is the look and experience I expect at this kind of money, absolutely stellar. 👏
It's a beautiful restaurant!! Stunning, really. 🔥 And this little video was really fun yet informative as well. Fun to see you enjoy it so much. 🌿
I love this channel! I don't like traveling outside my Province in BC CAD. You allow me to experience your foody sojourns vicariously.
Everyone have a fine weekend.
I never thought I’d tear up over someone receiving artichoke oil. Beautiful scene.
Every time I see you go to these wonderful places I wonder how they would accommodate allergies. Personally I'm allergic to walnuts, but my mom is allergic to corn, tree nuts, soy, egg whites, peanuts, and sesame. I'd love to see how a place like this would accommodate a guest like my mother.
I love that you return to restaurants that we have seen you visit before. It is always interesting to see the progression of a chef’s career.
Incroyable !
I have been to a restaurant where the menu was on a lamp. With the lights off, you could not see the prices. With them on, you could. I loved that, as I could myself not be bothered by it.
Unbelievable hospitality
Like royalty? You mean like your mate Prince Andrew?
Eating a stale bread with some Philadelphia thinking I am in Monaco to add that oil
I put Old Bay in my mac and cheese tonight
artichoke is my favourite ingredient and giving you the book, marking the recipe and then with a little flourish pulling out the oil was a flash of hospitality brilliance. I work in hospitality in a 4 star hotel (mostly as a bartender) – and it's the little things they remember. Remembering somthing they said offhand and acting on it is a wonderful gift.
masterclass !!!
I wonder how many LIKES are from GAZA!
now this is what a michelin 3 star should look like
you are a very strange guy.
