Such is Alain Ducasse’s multi Michelin starred winning status and undoubted pedigree that London’s restaurant critics have been rather harsh on his first restaurant in the capital.
The expression making a rod for your own back seems appropriate but with 13 Michelin stars to his name (and more likely) it’s fair to say people are expecting a lot from his eaterie at the Dorchester hotel on Park Lane.
While we can offer you a peak behind the scenes and in the kitchens at Alain Ducasse at the Dorchester, the Kitchen Rat budget hasn’t stretched to actually eating there yet.
Still, for all his knockers Alain has some big fans.
Kitchen Rat hears a recent visit to Brian Turner’s restaurant at the Millennium hotel in London’s Mayfair had the straight talking Yorkshire chef coming out in full support of Ducasse.
“You don’t win as many stars as Alain has without having the resources to fix problems. His London restaurant isn’t quite there yet but without a doubt he’ll get it sorted,” the moustachioed one told a dinner.
