Globally acclaimed\u00a0chef Alain Ducasse\u00a0is taking over management of the kitchens at Le Meurice hotel in Paris, part of the Dorchester Collection of hotels.<\/p>\n
Starting in September, Ducasse will begin re-imagining the property\u2019s Restaurant Le Meurice, which has three Michelin stars, and Restaurant Le Dal\u00ed.<\/p>\n
Ducasse has already revamped two other Dorchester Collection hotels: the Plaza Ath\u00e9n\u00e9e in Paris and The Dorchester in London. The Plaza Ath\u00e9n\u00e9e has since closed for restoration.<\/p>\n
Ducasse commented, \u201cI am honoured that Franka Holtmann, general manager of Le Meurice, with the support of Fran\u00e7ois Delahaye, chief operating officer of Dorchester Collection, has asked me to join Le Meurice. French cuisine has a major place, a role and an impact in the world today. I am pleased to contribute to its success in the two finest locations in Paris: Hotel Plaza Ath\u00e9n\u00e9e and Le Meurice.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
