Ducasse Takes Cuisine to Eiffel Tower

Alain Ducasse has already taken haute cuisine to great heights, in
menus for the Concorde jet and for astronauts. But opening a restaurant
in the Eiffel Tower comes with its own challenges.

Though only
410 feet up, there’s no gas cooking because of safety concerns. All the
decor had to be light so as not to weigh on the 118-year-old iron
structure. And because space is tight, food is washed and prepared in
an underground kitchen.
