Hiru Montmartre
“ The training at École Ducasse was like a boost. It allowed me to save a lot of time in the learning process, it is a condensed technical mastery. There is also proximity with the chefs who are also available to answer all your questions, even once the training is over. “
Antoine, with his associate Alexandre, opened HIRU Paris Montmartre in May 2021: a tapas restaurant, wine bar and cocktail bar.
In more than two decades since we were founded by Chef Alain Ducasse, our expert instructors in Paris Campus and ENSP have been preparing students from every region of the world to forge successful careers in the culinary and pastry industries.
Our alumni community now numbers more than 10,000 individuals, with hundreds added each year.
As our international alumni network grows, we are stepping up our efforts to make it the most vibrant and supportive of communities; recognizing the value that our alumni bring as role models to current students and as living examples of the opportunities that arise from learning with us.
