Alain Ducasse

Haute couture for those with a sweet tooth: Le Chocolat Alain Ducasse now also in Munich

Since January 2023, Alain Ducasse, the renowned Michelin-starred chef, has been offering exciting insights into his chocolate factory at Munich's Viktualienmarkt, delighting those with a sweet tooth with homemade chocolate and ice cream specialities as well as biscuits. From roasting the cocoa beans, to grinding and conching, to finishing the chocolate, you can marvel at the chocolatiers at work.

The new shop is designed in the same architectural style as its Parisian sister and combines industrial design with a modern, cosy atmosphere.

Alain Ducasse's team was directly responsible for the design and rough planning. As the local partner, Gruschwitz GmbH from Munich not only took on the realisation, but also provided the necessary support with all other requirements for opening a shop in Germany.

A track system with high-quality spotlights is used for the lighting. In addition, skilfully placed pendant, wall and floor lamps create an atmospheric and decorative ambience. As far as the flooring is concerned, a "smoked barrel" plank was installed in the sales area. This is hand-planed, smoked, oiled and brushed, giving the interior a rustic and authentic character. In the preparation room, on the other hand, large-format, cream-coloured tiles are used.
