A restaurant inside Maison Baccarat
Ducasse Baccarat occupies Maison Baccarat, the historic home of the crystal maker in Paris’s 16th arrondissement. The restaurant brings together the house’s crystal and art with cooking by Alain Ducasse, Christophe Saintagne and Robin Schroeder. The wider venue also includes a bar and a ballroom for private events.
The dining room combines a contemporary feel with gilded and frescoed walls. A contemporary sculpture partially obscures some of the original decoration, so the room’s character comes from both its historic details and newer art.
Dishes built around texture and contrast
The menu’s combinations pair seafood, fruit, spice and rich sauces. One described dish brings sea scallops together with coriander-spiced kumquat, lobster and John Dory in a wine-infused cream. Another combines duck with tender cabbage, foie gras and crisp oysters, alongside spaghetti squash and cacao.
The cooking emphasizes clean flavors and distinct textures. Baccarat glassware adds another visual element to the presentation. For a guided progression through the kitchen’s dishes, ask about the tasting menu; wine recommendations are available from the sommelier.
