Monaco, the tiny principality where half the population could legitimately list their occupation as ‘playboy’, is not a place that does understatement. It’s a land of high-stakes roulette bets, billion-dollar bank balances and yachts the size of skyscrapers, so it’s not surprising then that its top restaurant, Alain Ducasse’s three Michelin-starred Louis XV in Monaco's Hotel de Paris, simply drips opulence.
Cornices, chandeliers and cherubs adorn the ceilings and walls in a dining room with more than a hint of Versailles to the decor – the windows are tall and elaborately draped; gold leaf abounds. There are fewer than 20 tables, so those fortunate to be dining there are ensured acres of space – and each table even comes complete with a dainty footstool onto which a lady can place her handbag.
Prices are, unsurprisingly, high – but then this is cooking to be reckoned with. Ducasee knows a thing or two about fine dining and under head chef Franck Cerutti the kitchen serves up such delicacies as roasted scallops with black truffle pesto and Pyrenean baby lamb from a menu divided into ‘The Farm’, ‘The Sea’ and ‘The Vegetable Garden.’ Desserts are similarly simple yet spectacular.

An amazing gastronomic experiance. The staff were extremly attentive and the food was amazing in every way. Wine list extensive but very expensive. Would do again when I've saved up for a fews years!
