Holding 18 Michelin stars is already considered quite a feat, but it looks like French chef Alain Ducasse is looking to add more to his collection. Earlier this week, Ducasse announced plans to open a new restaurant at the end of September. Having worked at over 20 restaurants around the world, it seems like Ducasse is now going back to the place where he started: France.<\/p>\n
The city of romance is where Ducasse has decided to launch Spoon, a revival of one of his former restaurant concepts, Spoon Food & Wines. The latter was launched as a fusion restaurant in 1998 where guests could mix and match sauces and sides for their internationally-sourced main courses. The unique concept soon grew popular, popping up in other countries such as Hong Kong, Mauritius, New York and Tokyo.<\/p>\n
20 years later, the French chef has decided to bring the concept back with Spoon, which will likewise serve global cuisine. The new selection, however, takes inspiration from Ducasse\u2019s recent two-year globetrotting adventures across cities such as London, New York, Hong Kong, Beijing, Rio de Janeiro, Tokyo, Kyoto and Manila.<\/p>\n
Spoon\u2019s new menu will reflect Ducasse\u2019s travel discoveries and feature delicacies such as spicy duck from China, meatless chilli from Mexico and mango \u2018brul\u00e9e\u2019 with avocado and coriander from Brazil.<\/p>\n
You can even get a behind-the-scenes look at exactly how these meals were conjured in an upcoming documentary by filmmaker Gilles de Maistre, who faithfully captured Ducasse\u2019s country-hopping journey on film. \u201cLa Quete d\u2019Alain Ducasse\u201d (which translates to The Quest of Alain Ducasse) hits French cinemas on 11 October.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
