École Ducasse

French gastronomic excellence – with global reach

École Ducasse was founded in 1999 by the iconic chef Alain Ducasse and is today one of the world’s most respected culinary and pastry schools. The school is built on French craftsmanship, precision and innovation – with a clear focus on quality at every level.

As part of Sommet Education, a world leader in hospitality education, École Ducasse combines culinary excellence with international educational experience. Teaching is led by some of the industry’s foremost experts: Michelin-awarded chefs, Meilleurs Ouvriers de France, world champions and experienced professionals.

Alain Ducasse is the chef with the most Michelin stars in history, and the same uncompromising approach to quality characterises the school’s programs. The result is an educational environment that has become a global benchmark for culinary excellence.

École Ducasse has been awarded “World’s Best Culinary Training Institution” and “Europe’s Best Culinary Training Institution” at the World Culinary Awards in both 2023 and 2024.

Today, École Ducasse has campuses and studios around the world – including in France, the Philippines, India, Thailand and Abu Dhabi – and continues to expand internationally. New locations are planned, including Cairo.

The programs are infused with Alain Ducasse’s vision of a humanist and sustainable gastronomy, where respect for ingredients, people and the planet is an integral part of the kitchen of the future.
