[@technoCHOPS1134]

Honestly, for a place that luxurious with 3 Michelin Stars, a legendary name, quality food and service, AND in Monaco, €1000 for 2 is a really reasonable price!

[@matthewbrealey2026]

the price has been increased, it now costs 420 euros per person

[@shadowfilm7980]

Agree. I was expecting it to be much more.

[@technoCHOPS1134]

​@@matthewbrealey2026 That's actually still really good! A 1 Michelin star meal cost me around that much per person in San Francisco without a beverage pairing, and I can't imagine the prices in New York!

[@WeAreQuestionDutch]

My thinking also. The costs for building, the amount of high end personal, quality food and presentation, calculating that with a profit margin, it's hard to imagine how it could be much lower. And, for their costumers (thinking mostly of categories like top F1 drivers level income), it's really peanuts in comparison with their bank balance.

[@JohnVC]

Yeah I agree, I think the wine seemed reasonably priced in. This is a meal I would probably never afford, but somehow I think it was reasonable for the quality that was given. And you're also getting to experience the hospitality of legendary Ducasse... I'd much rather pay $1,000 for this then some new restaurant trying to make waves in the industry. This is historic.

[@kees2906]

Having grown up an hour's drive from Monaco, I'm also amazed by how they kept this close to the local cuisine. Also, the anemone you were served is a mediterranean species known as purple anemone. It's been fried by the people of the cote d'Azur for decades and used to be a poor man's dish.

[@durdudunsanders680]

it's also fried in Valencia! So good when it's good quality ones

[@etgripper]

Interesting, lobster was also seen as a poor man’s dish in the New England regions of the US. People would hide the carcasses at the bottom of their trash so no one would know they were eating lobster.

Hello Alexander I have two suggestions for you. 1. I would like to see a video where you explain fine dining etiquette - you have mentioned clothing before. As someone who have never tried a fine restaurant, but aspire to try it, I have little clue on the etiquette and what is expected by me as a quest. 2. I would also like to see a video from your own restaurant, and also maybe a few videos from a one or two michelin star restaurant to compare to your usual videos. Maybe you could mix the two, and make a video about etiquette in your own restaurant, where it may be easier for you to talk with staff and likewise. Great videos none the less! Keep them comming :D

[@hyroproto4364]

[@jonny5723]

Great suggestions!

[@Agnes135]

Just dress like you aren't homeless. Say please and thank you. It's not difficult

[@oonyyplaysrpg]

I would love to see a genuine answer for this question, I will be waiting 👍

[@hiimacrazyguy]

Hey, I'm about to graduate from a hotel and catering degree in the French Alps and I have several classmates who work or have worked in the fine dinning world, so I know a little bit about the subject:) the etiquette is mainly the dress code, for a restaurant like the one in this video you can wear a standard, classic suit, but you can honestly skip the tie, and beyond that, good table manners should be practiced at the table (no elbows on the table, eat with your mouth closed, actually enjoy the food and don't just devour things), beyond that I do strongly recommend that you inform yourself about some of the things that are in the tasting menu as part of the experience is just getting to know the crazy rare and exotic the ingredients you're putting in your mouth are, that includes the wines! Either way, just be polite, dress well and enjoy the ride. The last part about the ingredients is optional, but it's a personal recommendation since it's a big focus of these places, and IMO, it adds to the experience. Keep in mind that the restaurant shown in this video is a top tier three-star Michelin restaurant. A one-star Michelin or non-starred gastronomic place will often have a less formal dress code, so it's always good to look up the dress code for the particular place you're visiting. You can probably get by with a shirt/blazer, jeans and sneakers in a bunch of places.

[@whipcr]

In late 2021, we had the privilege to dine at Mirazur and Le Louis XV on consecutive days. Both Michelin 3 stars and two amazing meals that were completely different. Casual comfort at Mirazur and formality and glamour at Le Louis. If asked to choose my favorite- I couldn’t. Both were fabulous and did what each did best. Just incredible!

[@emmetharte3718]

First of all, great video. My wife and I spent three amazing nights in the gorgeous Hotel de Paris in 2022. On our 3rd evening on the 4th of December, my 40th birthday, we ended our stay on a high in the magnificent Le Louis XV restaurant. It was the last service of the year, and let me tell you, it was a wonderful experience, and I definitely felt like a 🤴

[@mysb13]

Really high quality documentary without overhyping the venue. Clear and concise but packed with objective (or refined subjective) observations. Worth every second of it. Bravo 👏…

[@suzanhodges415]

I am definitely visiting this place. I love dining in all types of venues. From street food in Asia and Africa, to high quality European cuisine in Europe (not saying Asia and Africa do not have high quality cuisine, I’ve dined in some of the highest quality places there) but this place is gastronomy to the highest level, it’s a complete dining experience. This is gastronomic artistry. From fool to service!

[@andrewblake2423]

Really loving your presentation style… you don’t waste time with a 20 minute video but still cover everything I would like to know. I also appreciate you covering the price of the meals - showing the receipt like in the last few meals helps me decide if I would like the same experience one day!

I like this, more traditional menu, and food recognizable for what it is. The trend for deconstructing and refining food till it is unrecognizable it's a mystery to me. In some of the restaurants you've shown us, the foods were mostly vegetables, greens, flowers, jellies, foams, ices and broths. Some really beautiful pictures painted with food, but inexplicable as relating to nature & reality. This is restaurant I can honestly aspire to patronize as a house of cuisine, not a flavorful science demonstration.
