Ducasse Dining at Château de Versailles

- By Carol Perehudoff www.alain-ducasse.com

As if the Palace of Versailles in France wasn’t sumptuous enough, there’s a new mouthwater­ing addition to this famed French château. Ore – Ducasse au Château de Versailles is the latest feather in celebrity chef Alain Ducasse’s gastronomi­c cap, a contempora­ry addition to Versailles’ recently renovated Pavillon Dufour. With its sleek lines and modern gold accents, such as sun-inspired chandelier­s and gleaming gold tabletops, this elegant French café manages to keep in harmony with the lavish legacy of the Sun King, Louis XIV, while firmly grounding itself in the present. Culinary highlights range from classic French cuisine to lighter fare such as coddled organic eggs, spinach and wild mushrooms. If you prefer to eat cake, try the lemon-lime tart or stop in for afternoon tea.
