Gourmets are invited to an exceptional culinary event where Daniel Humm, chef at Eleven Madison Park in New York, and Alain Ducasse, 5 Gault&Millau toques, combine their expertise to celebrate plant-based cuisine in France and the United States.

For the first time in Paris, from January 30 to February 2, 2024, the Le Meurice Alain Ducasse restaurant will welcome Daniel Humm. This renowned chef, whose New York restaurant Eleven Madison Park has won over many taste buds with its plant-based cuisine, will be sharing his art with Parisians.

Four evenings to bring out the best in plants

This gastronomic rendezvous is the fruit of a shared vision between Daniel Humm and Alain Ducasse: responsible cuisine, featuring plant-based ingredients in all their forms. Inspired by Toshio Tanahashi, nicknamed "The Veg Whisperer", the two chefs propose an almost spiritual approach to cuisine, respectful of products, seasons and the Earth. "To create this completely plant-based haute cuisine, you have to be a little unaware and, above all, very brave", says Alain Ducasse.

For four exceptional evenings, Daniel Humm's plant-based creations will dialogue with those of Alain Ducasse and his executive chef Amaury Bouhours, known for his daring plant-based cuisine. Although details of the menu remain a secret, guests can look forward to an unforgettable experience. The dining room and sommelier teams, headed respectively by Olivier Bikao and Gabriel Veissaire at Meurice, and Gabriel di Bella at Eleven Madison Park, will be on hand to complete the experience.

Collaboration across the Atlantic

The collaboration doesn't stop in Paris. From February 20 to 23, 2024, the roles will be reversed at Eleven Madison Park in New York. Alain Ducasse and his chef Amaury Bouhours will take the helm to present their interpretation of plant-based cuisine to New York guests. Teams from both restaurants will strive to offer an exceptional culinary experience, combining French refinement with the innovative spirit of New York.

How can you take part?

Unique menus will be offered at 440 euros per person, excluding drinks, and 880 euros with a wine and food pairing. For those seeking a more intimate experience, the Table du Chef at Le Meurice is available for privatization at 10,000 euros.
