Today, we go to Monaco, home to our restaurant, Le Louis XV - Alain Ducasse at L'Hôtel de Paris Monaco. Here, you can experience what it's like to be a king. It’s a palace of pure luxury.
The cooking style is classic French cuisine thanks to Chef Alain Ducasse.

Oh my you’re coming to my country, Singapore! Definitely giving you a follow on ig to catch you on your journey😄
Superb channel and idea....you are a lucky man but I really appreciate the content you bring to us, it's so interesting to see what I could never experience. Thank you.
This is a most exceptional channel. Thank you for the great work.
Hey hey, hope you have a great experience in Odette and Les Amis!
Make a detour for Australia 🥺
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.
it's also fried in Valencia! So good when it's good quality ones
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.
@@etgripper Caviar was available to anyone at the start of last century it was common , it wasn't considered a gourmet delicacy
@@etgripper wow new knowledge thnx!
@@JamesSmith-ui2hv Hate how that happens. Even oxtail is ridiculously expensive now. As soon as some celebrity chefs talk about it it's suddenly the new cool thing and prices go up 400%
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!
the price has been increased, it now costs 420 euros per person
Agree. I was expecting it to be much more.
@@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!
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.
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.
I’ve watched every video you have produced so far, this is by far your best. Your really speaking in much more detail about the food and wine which is fantastic. Thanks for producing these videos for us all to enjoy

I tend to get a hot rush of acid goosebump driven diarrhoea after watching his videos. I think it's his haircut or accent...not sure.
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
Up you go
Great suggestions!
Just dress like you aren't homeless. Say please and thank you. It's not difficult
I would love to see a genuine answer for this question, I will be waiting 👍
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.
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!
Andrew is 1000%)) by covering the price it really adds amazing value to your Video Alex)) Keep it coming & thanks Andrew for pointing at this topic))
They say "if you have to ask the price then you can't afford it." However I don't fully believe that haha!
Morocco can do that for $800 because they don't have income tax. In poor Europe it will cost over $2500
I would LOVE 20 minute videos! 30 minutes... 40 minutes .. ❤
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 👏…
Having enjoyed dinner at Le Louis four or five times since 1988, I can honestly say that it is one of the greatest dining experiences on planet Earth. You captured its essence beautifully.
You honestly can't remember how many times? Very insightful lol
@@elscruffomcscruffy8371 When flexing, people tend to say 4 or 5 times when they really mean 2 or 3, if not one (or none).
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!
I did not know that about the plane crash! That's so horrible.
I am very grateful Chef Ducasse survived. Such an inspiration.
Thank You Alexander. I dont think I'll ever afford these luxuries in my lifetime. But to know all these exists with your excellent story telling skills is just amazing.
Why would you say this? Everything is possible as long as you don’t put a limit on yourself
those kinds of experience are expensive but they deserve to be tried. A once in a lifetime experience is priceless
$400 a person is cheap, in US EASILY $600 , $800 in NXC😅
Luxury dining redefined! Le Louis XV is a culinary gem, and this video transports us to a place where every meal is a masterpiece.
This is my favorite channel. I haven’t ever gone fine dining because of the price. But I will definitely start saving money to experience this at least once in my life.
Same
the cuisine became more insteresting since Emannuel Pilon joined the team !! He came from le Plaza Athénée by Ducasse, it was an amazing place. I'm glad he brought the same cuisine to the Louis XV
Dear Alexander,
I have to admit the quality of your content is absolutely fabulous. I am puzzeltet how this channel has not yet received the attention it deserves. Please keep going, as your videos are not only entertaining, informative but also educating. Maybe one day, you can come to Germany to try one of our restaurants.
Al the best.
Not me eating a can of beans watching this
What a beautiful, beautiful restaurant. And the experience seems just absolutely second to none. You really would feel like royalty when you're there
Loving the videos, Alexander!! WE DEMAND MORE!! Can't wait to see your Asia videos!
Lovely videos Alexander. Very down to the experience, love the little moments in-between you see of the interactions and service moving around. It makes you grasp the atmosphere. The historical information in the beginning is amazing to get invested to the content. Please don't ever change the simplicity of your editing, the visual splendor of the courses and decor come to their best right this way. Thank you for making these videos of your experiences, the honesty overall and sharing it with us.
Your Videos are getting better & better
As I am also from the Gastronomy business, this is the channel, I have dreamed of to find.
People with the right philosophy and a lot of respect and love for this business.
I wish you would do a never ending tv show. My heart opens up when I see a new video
Alexander, you have turned us all into gastronomic fantasists, and we couldn't be happier ! I would love to see a You Tube video of your restaurant . How about it , maestro ?! Wishing you and your family good health and success in all your endeavours !
Great video Alexander! I think of all the restaurants you have reviewed thus far Louis XV is the most impressive. The food looked amazing but the room and location really set it apart. Hope for more gems like this in the future.
It is a world renowned restaurant that is the jewel in Ducasse's empire...and it should be good, the prices are pretty sky high, as you would expect. Last I checked the tasting menu (of five dishes plus dessert and cheese) was €400.
Alexander I can feel even you present so many luxury stuff on your videos but inside you are down on earth person which just doing job for living.
having the chef serve you the dish personally is an interesting part of the experience, thanks for sharing
Alex I like the fact that you have free time to travel round the world and show us beautiful wonder's of the world. I really wish I can improve in my finance so as to enjoy the beauty of life, Please do you have any recommendations?
I will introduce you to my account manager Mr John K Brew of UCLA Anderson financial institution he's great and his methods are working for me at the moment
@@donalderic3642Ever since I lost my job with the ministry, I have been surviving through my investment with Mr Brew, I'm so glad I invested when 1 did.
I don't usually do reviews but
Earning three times of my monthly salary from Mr John K Brew is overwhelming
I have been seeing so many recommendations about JOHN k BREW he must be really good
Yea his so good. No complaints from his client's
Having grown up an hour's drive from Monaco, I'm also amazed by how they kept this close to the local cuisine.
I really like your focused clear presentation style. Straightforward observations and informed opinions.
I dont usually leave comments but I am so glad you started making videos. Loving the structure, especially with the brief introduction of the chef/restaurant. Subscribed after the first video!
Love your reviews! What a great storyteller! I hope this channel gain more followers!!
"Eating like a king" is very meaningful slogan in French gastronomy because before French Revolution, public had always been trying to follow monarchy style in every way.
All that luxury, and you need a Big Mac afterward to finally feel full.
My man! Thank you so much for another quality video, glad you're channel is blowing up! keep up the good work!
Dear Alexander,
thank you so much for this chanel. Thank you and your Team for all the work and effort you guys put in those Videos. I am an early Member and really do hope that this chanel will blow the roof faster than you expect.
Thank you and best regards
These videos are becoming one of my week's highlights!!
Really good channel, Alexander, you and your team are great! I have a lot of respect for Alain Ducasse. Conceptually, Le Louis XV is not what I usually go for, I much prefer places like AM but you made me want to go. Thank you, awesome channel!
This is an incredible video: I experienced it like being in the place... almost felt like a king 😂!
Holy shit!! How do they keep getting better. This channel is going to be a household name across the globe
Alexander, you are charismatic, captivating, and the perfect presenter to present such a fantastic restaurant. I am simply going to watch all your videos from now on 🥰😍
Very intersting! I also like that you do not hold back with fair criticism, but also praise what is praise worthy!
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.
My favourite one yet that looked sensational veyond words. What a triumph.
Ducasse is a master.
French Chefs are simply the best of the best
Great Video as always.
I see you are always very excited about the wine pairings you have, but what about the options for us who don't drink wine but still love fine cuisine? Would love to hear more about those options in the future videos.
Probably not the most interesting 3 michelin star restaurant with its classic representation but you delivered its uniqueness. From previous episode this one felt much faster paced, which I really enjoyed and kept my attention on the video. Keep up the great work!
"not the most interesting 3 michelin star restaurant" - can't agree more!
why does it seem like to you every 3 star restaurant has to reinvent the wheel? If the food is good it's good.
Theres one in Japan in a back alley making ramen that's pretty unique and it's just ramen.@@frankhungch
@@frankhungch
5:58 I wouldn't stand for those jewy cheese portions. This is unacceptable.
Although, for 35€ this is on the cheaper side, considering everything on the menu is at least 100€
Such a huge fan of what you do! Thanks for the watch!
Idk anything about fine dining, so thank you Alexander for the work that you do.
Love your videos. I'm a big fan of Ducasse and had the pleasure of taking my French girlfriend at the time to our first Michelin starred restaurant while staying with her in Paris owned by him. Keep up the great work!
Nothing like being reminded that you're a serf.
Lol😅
I loved the cutlery. A nice touch
This guy is so amazing I love all his reviews. He needs more subscribers!!!
Hi Alexander, thank you for posting these amazing content, really appreciate it. I’d love for you to make a tutorial or a guide on how to enjoy more our visits to these amazing restaurants! What are the requirements, the don’ts and general guidelines!
Maybe when you get back to the hotel you can order a pizza.
I'm relieved the Michelin star resto cooked his "wheel" to perfection lol. Looks great, I want to try one of these renowned eateries next time I visit Europe
Thank you again for these wonderful videos. I get to live vicariously through you.
since you have a Michelin star restaurant I would like to know how to open one and how to manage it.
just have money
I must admit... I would be really uncomfortable to eat at a place like this. Its way to fancy for someone like me.
This channel is a hidden gem, much like a great restaurant.
I live in New Zealand and one day would love to experience such decadence. I am a big foodie but this would be the ultimate food lovers experience. Thank you for showing,
You have the grove, Sid, and Sidart where you’re at. Try them out.
Honestly, food looked underwhelming for a 3* restaurant... Although I'm sure it tasted good.
here is you can experience how to be used as a "ideote" as long as it makes you happy, enjoy...
⚡💯⚡
Seeing clip of Zhou Guanyu's majestic drift save in this video just made this video so much more enjoyable! Definitely one of Monaco's unforgettable lol
Great stuff Alexander. As usual, thanks for the great Saturday morning treat. Love and Light from Laos!
Where did you go to eat afterwards???? You can't tell me you weren't hungry...
TACOS > Le Louis XV
Loving your work.. it’s inspiring me!
I love that you are without making faces . I think you are one of the few people in ytb that can be elegant in a restaurant like this . Wow . I follow a lot of channel of food and yours is the best . Thank you , amazing content. Really the new school of elite videos . A hbo production . Amezed . Michelle stars earned also for yourself .
man this channel is so underrated. Excellent editing, very cool locations.
You pay $1000 for a dinner and you still walk out hungry. High class cuisine is a scam.
Maybe if you actually tried a 9 course tasting you would see that you leave very full! I was bursting and full until noon the next day
I would call it onanism rather than a scam
Has that happened to you?
This food looks kinda meh tonbe honest. Maybe the taste is out of this world but that chips thing with blank ink looks really gross to me. I'm sorry
Wow, incredible fancy restaurant
Such a hidden gem of a channel! Phenominal content!
I ate there last year and it was a great meal. The night before we ate at the secondary restaurant of the hotel and both meals were fantastic
Like even before watching the video. ❤❤ Great as always
I had the opportunity to visit it in the summer of 2017. Amazing
Thats Why I like to Listen To his Stories Inside the Michelin Stars Establishment
Alex... you made me cry for a second time...another fantastic video))))))) Louis XV is surely a meal for a King))) one day, yes one day, I will visit... again thank you for this fantastic approach)))
I love your passion and knowledge of fine dining
Great content! Very smooth, informative and clear!
Who is Alain Ducasse?
The world's best Chef......A Chef's Chef....
only time we saw our old Swiss chef get emotional was when we gave him Alain's book for Christmas....
We think there was a tear in his eye but we can't confirm, ahahah
Thank you for sharing this beautiful restaurant!!!!😊😊😊
Thank you for sharing this nice history.
Wow cool. Thank you for sharing.
Nice to try it once.
The content on this channel has been very informative and entertaining, so happy to have found your vids!
Very entertaining video. I'm so amazed by the great work and success you've had on CZcams so far. Great stuff.
I love your videos . Great reviews!
Great review again !! Love your style of the review. Also happy to see all the wines !
Thank you for sharing! Exquisite!
I like the you present everything and the restaurant looks absolutely marvellous!
Well Done ! Thanks for including a show of Le Check.

This channel is a GEM❤
Love your videos. Sending love from Melbourne Australia
This is A+++++++++ culinary content. Thank you so much.
rum baba is still my favorite dessert，i only tired it one time but that flavor just stays inside me
This is the essence of vicarious living. Wonderfully produced video of an amazing restaurant.
I've a Table Reservation there in July, and i'm so excited😁...i visited Monaco several times, and always wanted to dine in this Restaurant....and in some weeks it will happen😁
XV is the Pinnacle of all fine dining imo. One of the bucket list restaurants besides guy savoy .
Oooh I've always wondered what it's like in there!
