Comments on: Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester, London http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/12/04/alain-ducasse-at-the-dorchester/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

Wow, an 8 course tasting menu sounds like a brilliant way of doing it too. Great to hear and isn't the Dorchester lobby just lush? Hi Carbon Debit-That is brilliant!

It was just fantastic as described. It's going to be my regular London haunt along with Foliage (although I will keep experimenting with restaurants because I just love doing that).

This has made me so ravenous. Your descriptions are awesome. I just got back from London, and have made a big mental note that I have to try Alain Ducasse next time. Thank goodness it's only an hour's flight away. The rose and raspberry pleasure looks so picturesque, you could almost not eat it! Just signed up on NQN and it's fabulous. Am a Melb girl and now live in the Netherlands, and reading u on some of those earlier posts, am getting nostalgic. OMG!!!! This has made me so ravenous. Your descriptions are awesome.

They don't have any of that bond money carryon here which is good! Hi the projectivist-It was so extravagant and so worthwhile! I wish I could go back. ROFL at the Amateur Gourmet's story, that is brilliant! Hi anamika-Thankyou so much! :) Hi FFichiban-It was such a wonderful experience from beginning to end. I really wish there was something like that here! Oh that Fougasse bread...I thought I had died and gone to heaven! Hi Su-yin-It would be great if we could swap-I miss London restaurants and prices! :) I was determined to eat my way through London-although that was only the tip of the iceberg really. We were lucky, we only had to book the Gordon Ramsay's Royal Hospital Road and Petrus ahead of time with the RHR being more difficult to do so but the rest were quite straightforward to book :) Hi Lilia-There is pretty good service in Australia but never showing of the restaurant’s wine room or anything like that or a kitchen tour.

I always look forward to your London posts, as it's somewhere I could always go to... as opposed to places in Sydney like Adriano Zumbo. I almost wanted to lick my screen (I say this rather sheepishly) when I saw your photos from that post, haha. I think the most delicious looking photo is the rose and raspberry pleasure. :) I'm still amazed at how many famous restaurants you managed to go to when you were in London - you must have really booked them waaay in advance!
