Excellent food and service. 3 Michelin star isn’t overrated (haven’t tried 1-2 star though).
Even “simple” food like some veggie still tastes great (although pretty sure it wasn’t simple to made).
Timing, atmosphere, etc. were great. We spent almost 5 hours for the 7 course menu as if it had been a hour.

We were very excited to dine here and, having experienced several Michelin-starred restaurants before, we arrived with high expectations. We chose the Harmonie tasting menu, and while each dish was beautifully presented, some lacked depth of flavour.
The scallops were outstanding and we also enjoyed the restaurant’s signature dish. However, the cheese course was underwhelming and the wild mushroom dish, one we had particularly looked forward to, was unfortunately quite bitter and didn’t meet our expectations.
The staff were lovely, but attention to detail could have been better. The tables weren’t cleared between courses and the bread and butter stayed until dessert.
A thoughtful touch was the final celebratory cake for our anniversary, which we truly appreciated.
Overall, it was a beautiful and enjoyable experience, but when dining at a three-star Michelin restaurant, excellence is expected throughout. While there is much to admire here, we felt there is room for improvement, and for us, the experience did not quite justify the price.

Last visited 15 years back for my wife’s 45th and had a great rum baba “pudding” with Venezualen rum. 15 years later took my wife out for her 60th and mentioned this fact as we were seated.
They did another on the fly to suprise us which was just as good as the first. And my second tipple of Venezualen rum in 15 years. So smooth. It was such a surprise and delight….
From Luiz answering the emails, to the waiting staff, to the chefs up to the chef patron, all top notch.
You also get to meet Chef Patron Jean-Philippe Blondet, and say something hopefully “cook wise” to impress him, I think I failed.
When cauliflower souffle tasts so good…

There’s something philosophically strange about reviewing a place like this on Google. A three-star Michelin experience reduced to the same five stars as a fast food restaurant.
What I can say is that the meal itself was spectacular. From the atmosphere to the service, from the drinks to the butter and bread, to the scallops and the countless ingredients clearly prepared over days, every detail felt thoughtful and precise. It’s the kind of experience where the craft behind the scenes is as impressive as what arrives at the table.
Places like this almost feel too special for a simple rating system. Yes, it’s incredibly expensive — more than many people’s monthly rent — but for a once-in-a-lifetime or truly special occasion, it felt worth it. Personal favorite? Honestly, pretty much everything.

Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester delivers timeless Mayfair luxury without a hint of flash. From crystal drapes to Saint-Louis glassware, everything feels calm, confident, and meticulously refined. The seasonal tasting menu is outstanding—precise scallops with Kristal caviar, aromatic wild mushrooms, flawless halibut, and an unforgettable Rhug venison. Wine pairings elevate every dish with quiet sophistication. Service is impeccable, appearing at the exact moment you need it. After a 3-hour dinner that never missed a beat, it’s clear why this restaurant has held its three Michelin stars for 18 years. A must-visit in London.

We’ve been slowly working our way through the 3 Michelin star restaurants of London. It’s a definite variety of styles & purposes. We hated the Fat Duck but adored Hélène Darroze — they have very different styles. So we were thrilled to find Alain Ducasse to be very much the fine French dining experience. Great wine list. Excellent service. Perfect execution and showcase of quality ingredients. Some specific highlights for us: the socca starting snack was light and delicious; mushroom-pine broth was a sheer delight; scallop with lemon beurre blanc is a triumph of French sauce; the main’s side dish of venison ragù is exceptional and I wish I could have it right now; rhum baba is the best one we’ve ever had.

A little short of perfection. Food was absolutely perfect. Service and atmosphere could be better.
So I was in the UK for about 2+ weeks and greedily packed two 3-star Michelin restaurants in one day. I am writing this review after going to both restaurants and Alain Ducasse would rank 2nd to the other restaurant based on my personal experience. Small things that I thought Alain Ducasse staff could pay a bit more attention to:
1. Glassware. My wine glass has a chip. On the rim. Personally, I wasn’t expecting this from a 3-star Michelin restaurant. I informed the staff, he apologised and changed the glass.
2. Attention to detail. One of us had stained a blotch during dinner, but it was just left as it was. The wait staff from the other restaurant had helped cover the table with a slip cloth, giving me a sense of professionalism and neatness. On top of that, our tables weren’t cleaned with a table crumber between courses, except once. Not sure why the difference.
3. Atmosphere. Love the interior decoration. One word. Classy. But the frosted glass windows made us somewhat aware of the petrol cars during the meal, which were quite frequent.
Otherwise, the food was really, Really, REALLY good. I need to emphasise this. The moment you put the first Hors D’oeuvres dish in your mouth, you knew the chef had years of experience with blood, sweat and time put in to be this good. It was balanced to perfection. Speechless. I would describe it as… “no plastic surgery, just really, Really, REALLY good original French cuisine”.
Despite the 3 pointers raised, I would still come back for more. They are often booked out, so reservations are highly recommended. Chef was really stressed as we could hear his shouting from where we were seating. But hey, it was full house, and the food… yums. Looking forward to my next visit.

Chef Jean-Philippe Blondet, everyone in the kitchen, the serving staff, sommeliers, and more, thank you for a fabulous NYE! Everything was worthy of those 3 Michelin stars. The menu was exquisite starting from the very first canapes, the restaurant was beautiful (obsessed with the Baccarat centre pieces), and everyone was so kind. This was the perfect place to ring in the new year! The earlier seating dinner also had the most fabulous pianist.

Dining at Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester is, without a doubt, an out-of-this-world experience. The 7-course menu is a festival of flavours on the palate; the staff’s attention is unequivocally up to the exacting standards of Mayfair. As a dessert lover, I can emphatically say that the finest dessert I have ever tasted took place in this restaurant – “Baba like in Monte Carlo” is an obligatory choice to round off this exquisite tasting with a golden flourish. The 3 Michelin stars are precisely where they belong: the best restaurant in the United Kingdom.

I genuinely couldn’t imagine what a “bad” Michelin 3-star meal could look like — perhaps a service issue, maybe poor value, or a couple of mediocre dishes.
But I truly did not expect “not tasty” to be the theme that carried consistently through a two-hour meal.
We ordered a bottle of water, and within minutes it was knocked over, followed by an unintentionally comedic “fishing it out of the table gap” moment. Throughout the meal, things that shouldn’t fall kept falling, and things that should fall — like the granita — refused to budge no matter how hard it was shaken. It was honestly a bit funny.
I won’t comment on the petit snacks, so let’s start from the first course.
Cucumber with almond and cured tuna heart — the granita had an extremely strong, almost dizzying aroma that was anything but refreshing. The only redeeming element was the fresh almond.
Then came the scallop — normally a very hard ingredient to make bad, yet somehow this achieved it. The entire plate was covered with fresh seaweed and actual seawater; the smell of raw ocean hit instantly and completely killed my appetite.
The lobster was decent quality, but the chef managed to make it taste surprisingly mediocre. It was supposedly paired with black truffle, yet only the side garnish carried any truffle aroma. The sauce itself leaned oily and heavy.
Fast-forward ⏩ to the veal, easily the toughest I’ve ever had. Not tender, not juicy — nothing. It made me want to book a flight back to Singapore immediately just to eat the veal at Les Amis again.
Just when I thought things were coming to an end, the chef found yet another way to surprise the guests: a cheese course. Cow’s milk and goat’s milk cheeses are fine, but including blue cheese on a fixed tasting menu is… questionable.
The petit four felt like they were trying to wake the diners up with acidity — a lemon-chocolate bite and a blackberry tart, both intensely sour.
I usually enjoy eating lemons on their own, and even I struggled.
The space itself is beautiful, with lovely crystal curtains. The chef’s philosophy is admirable, and the service is acceptable.
But honestly — could the food please be even slightly more enjoyable?
