One of the most esteemed of all French chefs, Alian Ducasse has built a culinary empire that spans 34 restaurants across seven countries, amassing a total of 21 Michelin stars, only surpassed by his fellow countryman, the late Joël Robuchon.Ĭlaiming three of those Michelin stars is Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester, the French chef’s only British restaurant. L’Enclume’s entry is reminiscent of a similar excitement to the 2021 entries of Core by Clare Smyth and Helene Darroze at The Connaught, which saw female chefs awarded the prestigious award for the first time in the country’s history.Īlain Ducasse at The Dorchester is the chef’s only British restaurant / ©Alain Ducasse With a total of 166 Michelin-starred restaurants across the country, eight have achieved the highest accolade within the world of cuisine of three Michelin stars.Īdmittedly, up until L’Enclume of the Lake District was added in early 2022- the list’s latest addition- all other three-Michelin-star restaurants were based in London and the South East.
