Multi-Michelin-starred chef Alain Ducasse’s first London venture at the Dorchester hotel may have been given a rough ride by some of the critics but we thought we’d let you judge for yourself.

Kitchen Rat Confidential has a selection of behind the scenes photos from Ducassse’s kitchen for your delectation and dissemination. So dive on in.

For more behind the scenes at one of London’s highest profile new restaurants see Inside Kitchens in this week’s Caterer and Hotelkeeper (17 January).
