You have to go to Paris\u2019s 16th arrondissement to discover the most beautiful restaurant in the world, according to the Prix Versailles. A prestigious table led by one of the greatest French chefs in the world\u2026<\/p>\n

The Prix\u202fVersailles<\/strong> is a prestigious global award in architecture and design<\/strong> that, every year since 2015<\/strong>, highlights the most remarkable achievements around the world in several categories, including restaurants, hotels, museums, and emporiums<\/strong>. It is awarded by an international jury<\/strong> under the aegis of the World Organization of the Prix Versailles, with jurors from diverse fields such as art, architecture, and culture.<\/p>\n

For the 2025 edition<\/strong>, the winners in the restaurant category include 16 establishments<\/strong> selected for the beauty of their architecture, interior design, and the harmony between gastronomy and space<\/strong>. Among them are addresses from around the world, such as Blackswan in Beijing<\/strong> (China), Jap\u00f3n in Miami Beach<\/strong> (United States), Ladur\u00e9e Rue Royale in Paris<\/strong> (France), Smoked Room in Dubai<\/strong> (United Arab Emirates), and Julie\u2019s in London<\/strong> (United Kingdom). This annual selection not only celebrates architectural creativity but also the overall experience offered to visitors, where aesthetics, cultural identity, and innovation interact with culinary art. And, proudly, a French establishment has won the highest distinction this year.<\/p>\n

Ducasse\u202fBaccarat: a crystal setting\u2026<\/h3>\n


The Ducasse\u202fBaccarat restaurant, located in Paris\u2019s 16th arrondissement<\/strong>, stood out by winning the Grand Prix of the Prix\u202fVersailles 2025. This exceptional project is located on the first floor of the Maison de Cristal and Baccarat boutique<\/strong> at 11 Place des \u00c9tats-Unis<\/strong>, formerly the private mansion of famous writer and art patron Marie-Laure de Noailles<\/strong> (1902\u20131970). At the helm of this table, the multi-Michelin-starred chef and iconic figure of French gastronomy, Alain Ducasse<\/strong>, is joined by Christophe Saintagne and Robin Schroeder<\/strong>, two talents who bring freshness and creativity to this spectacular venue.<\/p>\n

The dining room<\/strong>, designed by Ali\u00e9nor B\u00e9chu and the studio Volume\u202fABC<\/strong>, is a cabinet of curiosities<\/strong> as aesthetic as it is sensory, where a \u201crain sky\u201d of Baccarat crystal drops blends with raw oak sculptures and sophisticated lighting effects.<\/p>\n

\u2026with Michelin-starred flavors<\/h3>\n


At the table, the experience is meant to be unpredictable, joyful, and profoundly inventive<\/strong>. Rather than linear tasting menus, the dishes interact, clash, or intertwine, like a symphony of flavors and textures from the Southwest to the French Riviera: fig-stuffed eggplant; red mullet, pig\u2019s ear, rich jus; duck, turnip, quince; pulled lobster in a rose-infused tapioca bath; chocolate dessert enhanced with coriander<\/strong>\u2026 Each plate is conceived as a small culinary scene. \u201cThis table reflects where I come from, what I know, and who I am,\u201d Alain Ducasse said at the opening.<\/p>\n

Enhanced by crystal rocks arranged like jewels and illuminated by a Sun King chandelier<\/strong>, the Midi\u2011Minuit bar<\/strong>, led by mixologist Margot\u202fLecarpentier<\/strong>, extends this ambiance with cocktails as elegant as they are creative, served in iconic Baccarat glasses. In good weather, guests can enjoy Le Jardin, the lush outdoor space<\/strong> away from the Parisian bustle, where light, seasonal dishes are served. Nestled behind a fully glazed fa\u00e7ade, the Orangerie<\/strong> remains open year-round on request for private events of up to twelve guests<\/strong>. Finally, the ballroom, magnificent with its 18th-century gilded d\u00e9cor<\/strong>, hosts evenings in a royal and lavish atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Ducasse and his team\u2019s approach draws on tradition while reinventing it, combining technical precision with playful spontaneity; a cuisine that tells stories of memories, terroirs, and sharing, without ever taking itself too seriously. The restaurant also hosts themed evenings, such as readings.<\/p>\n
