A unique gastronomic experience in Paris

Ducasse sur Seine was born from Chef Alain Ducasse’s desire to offer a new gastronomic experience, a unique concept. This bold idea combines a high-level lunch or dinner with a cruise on the Seine. Over the course of the meal, guests watch some of the capital’s most iconic landmarks glide gently by. A beautiful way to savor a Parisian escape, and a delightful opportunity to bring together Paris, the Seine, and culinary creativity.

Seasonality as a driving force for creation

Culinary creativity drives Jean-Philippe Berens, the chef of Ducasse sur Seine, and his brigade. In the kitchen, his philosophy echoes that of Alain Ducasse: here, nature dictates the menu. Naturally, the Ducasse sur Seine menu evolves every six weeks to showcase seasonal produce.

Signature creations in tune with the seasons

Creativity and seasonality go hand in hand for the Ducasse sur Seine brigade. Depending on the season, the menu may feature dishes such as tender beets with horseradish or figs baked in fig leaves. Not to mention the Cookpot of seasonal vegetables, a signature concept of Chef Alain Ducasse. These dishes can be seen as snapshots, fleeting witnesses to the passage of time and the rhythm of the seasons. Booking a gastronomic meal in Paris at Ducasse sur Seine offers a truly unique experience.

A brigade devoted to culinary innovation

Developing the menu at Ducasse sur Seine is an especially meticulous process. Chef Jean-Philippe Berens draws inspiration from seasonal ingredients and tests multiple recipes, refining them until the perfect balance of flavors is achieved.
