LE CINQ Review

I enjoyed a fine six-course menu at Le Cinq, a three-star Michelin restaurant in the Four Seasons Hotel on the Champs-Elysées. It was said to be six courses, but with the appetizer, two main courses and a farewell dessert, there were actually nine courses. The main course, roast horse meat, was impressive. I was lucky to experience fine dining at the top of French cuisine in Paris.

Recommended by the website as one of the most acclaimed restaurants in Paris. It was once a Michelin three-star restaurant, and the dishes are very exquisite and first-class. The service is considerate and meticulous: only the menu for men has prices printed on it, suits are rented on site for male guests who are not prepared, photos are taken of guests and printed as gifts, and there are small gift boxes of candy before leaving... It was a pleasant experience for the first time to experience Michelin

The Four Seasons Hotel George V, where Le Cinq is located, is an important benchmark in the Parisian culinary world. Being able to join this 100-person team of chefs is the dream of young chefs in France and even the world. In 2014, the famous chef Le Squer landed at George V, making Le Cinq shine again, and the quality of the other two sister restaurants is also gradually improving. Le Cinq has all the elements of your fantasy about French cuisine: a magnificent, palace-like restaurant, respectful but not too enthusiastic service, a classic dessert cart, and a chef with a general style and a big belly. The dishes look "old-fashioned" and do not have the naturalism or contemporary art style that young chefs are good at now, but in fact they hide a "mystery" - "molecular cuisine" is presented in the most low-key form. The improved version of French onion soup, the onion puree turns into "mushrooms", until the skin is bitten open by the teeth and the juice bursts, you will know that it is actually not related to mushrooms. And its most famous specialty: French-style pasta, neatly arranged pasta wrapped with truffles, morels and ham cubes, made into the shape of an opera house cake, and when the classic French truffle cream sauce is poured on one side of the plate, you can basically be sure that this is the most extreme contemporary presentation of classic French cuisine. Compared with the personal style chef creative cuisine that is now popular all over the world, Le Cinq's school of academic cuisine seems conservative and outdated, but it has a sense of mission to connect the past and the future, which is the "root" mentioned in "everything changes but never deviates from the root".

This three-star Michelin French restaurant is really worthy of its reputation. The taste is really extraordinary and delicious. It serves traditional French cuisine, with exquisite tableware and elegant environment. There are many famous dishes, such as French snails and lamb tripe truffle noodles, which are worth a try. However, the price is quite expensive. The two of us ate more than 1,300 yuan.

This is a high-end French restaurant with a history of more than 100 years. The price of dining here is very expensive, but the taste is the best I have ever tasted in a restaurant in Paris. The whole restaurant is very romantic. Every classic French dish is carefully cooked by the chef. It can be said that they are all classics of French cuisine. They are so delicious and memorable. It is definitely worth a visit.

It is very convenient to book on the Four Seasons Hotel official website. I received a confirmation email immediately and a text message reminder as the date approached. I saw quite a lot of Asians at lunch. The restaurant is spacious and bright, and the waiters are very charming and provide just the right amount of thoughtful service. I ordered a set meal and wanted to add more, but the waiter said it might be too much, so I gave up. The dishes are exquisitely presented and fresh, bringing all kinds of surprises. It was a very pleasant meal.

Le Cinq @ Four season hotel won 3 Michelin stars. French fine dining pays more attention to details than Asian fine dining. The deep and aftertaste of sea urchin is amazing!
