Le Louis XV – Alain Ducasse à l'Hôtel de Paris.

"Ducasse's three-star Riviera temple, where the vegetable garden runs the menu."

Alain Ducasse rewrote what luxury dining could mean here in the 1980s, and Le Louis XV remains the clearest argument that vegetables, grains and Mediterranean produce can sit at the centre of three-star cooking. The famous "garden of Provence" course and a serious vegetarian tasting menu make this a benchmark for plant-forward fine dining on the Riviera.
