Monarchs ate Ore<\/strong><\/em> is royalty restaurant.In his 30-year career, chef Alain Ducasse has amassed 18 Michelin stars and a worldwide restaurant empire. One of his latest is fittingly inside the Ch\u00e2teau de Versailles, called Ore<\/strong><\/em>, it was a form of architectural royalty that brought the new restaurant to fruition: Dominique Perrault.<\/p>\n

The basic structure of the renovation was already in place when Ducasse came on board to the 8,900-square-foot restaurant piece of the project. Once he did, he was instantly involved in revising the layout: back-of-the-house plans were enlarged, adding state-of-the art kitchens upstairs and prep kitchens and a wine cellar underground. \u201cDucasse was ingenious,\u201d Perrault notes.<\/p>\n

Ore is open to the public for breakfast, lunch, and tea; at night, it becomes Ducasse au Ch\u00e2teau de Versailles, serving dinner only by special request.<\/p>\n

The restaurant\u2019s name, it refers to oris, specifically to the long-ago royal cooks and kitchens that fed Versailles. But the wordplay with gold ore works equally well in the gilded realm of Versailles, where even the rooftop is plated with gold leaf. As such, materials like brass and aluminum, often with golden finishes, appear throughout the establishment. That\u2019s the work of Ga\u00eblle Lauriot-Pr\u00e9vost, DPA\u2019s art director and Ore\u2019s interior design lead. Metal is her specialty, including metal mesh and metallic cloth, both used here. Each finish, she says, \u201ccatches the light, and conducts it in a different way, giving a vibrant texture.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brushed brass discs that radiate with LED rods, they derive, she notes, from fraises, the starched circular collars worn in 16th-century Europe. For seating, she looked to today: Slim armchairs upholstered in champagne, burgundy, or dove-gray leather .<\/p>\n
In the bar area, floor-to-ceiling vitrines display Ducasse\u2019s antique dinnerware collection. Nearby hangs the 1722 painting Nature Morte au Buste de l\u2019Am\u00e9rique .<\/p>\n
An older oil by Hyacinthe Rigaud inspired the bar\u2019s batonlike pendant fixtures. They\u2019re modeled after the actual commander\u2019s baton brandished by Louis XIV\u2019s eldest son in the famous 17th-century portrait,Le Grand Dauphin.<\/p>\n
