ONE NIGHT AT LE MEURICE, IN PARIS, I ORDERED THE ENTIRE MENU, AND ATE ALL OF IT.
THE HOUSE
Le Meurice has stood on the rue de Rivoli, facing the Tuileries, since long before any of us. Inside, the restaurant Le Meurice Alain Ducasse is one of the great dining rooms of Paris: two Michelin stars, gold and mirrors and a silence that hums. I first sat in that room as a guest in May 2025, when they gave me the best birthday dinner of my life.
THE WHOLE MENU
So on this trip I did something simpler and more foolish: I ordered the entire menu, every course on the carte, and ate all of it, and filmed it in long format. The short version lives on my Instagram. The long version is on YouTube, where it belongs: 26 minutes at one of the great tables of Paris.
WHY DO IT
A menu like this one is built as a whole, not as a list of dishes to pick from. Eating all of it, in order, is the only way I know to understand what a kitchen like this is actually trying to say. By the end, I was full, happy, and completely sure it was worth it.
