Already home to 18 Michelin-starred restaurants, Macau will cement its outstanding culinary reputation with the addition of not one, but two new restaurants from one of the world’s most decorated chefs, Alain Ducasse. City of Dreams will collaborate with the legendary French-born Monégasqueon chef at two side-by-side dining destinations, plus a bar, at its US$1-billion, 780-room, Morpheus hotel tower, part of the resort’s phase 3 launch in the first half of 2018. Alain Ducasse at Morpheus will serve up the signature expression of French contemporary haute cuisine that the chef is best known for. Meanwhile, Voyages by Alain Ducasse is a new concept tailor-made for the property offering a unique take on Asian cuisines inspired by the chef's travels over the past 30 years, as well as his most recent culinary discoveries. “I always create and never duplicate—each of my venues is different and reflects the mood of its location,” said Ducasse. “I always start from the soul of the place and from clients’ expectations to create a cuisine that is specific and that resonates with the location and the people.”
