This is a gorgeous location - the room itself is decorated with an abundance of tapestries, fresh flowers, beautiful linen and table settings and in the heart of the glorious Four Seasons George V hotel. It is truly one of the best in Paris. It is expensive but remember you only live once (that you know about)! The service was excellent, efficient, kind and nothing was too much trouble. You will feel like royalty. The staff teamed up to make sure both plates hit the table at the same time and with the silver cloches lifted on each dish simultaneously. We started with a glass of super sparkling champagne and there were a number of great options by the glass. The food was right up there with the best restaurants in the world. Dessert was not as fabulous as the rest. Breakfasts in this room are also a wonderful experience with great service and a la carte options including magnificent fresh fruit platters, eggs benedict and more luxury options. Go if you can!

We dined at both Le Cinq and L'Orangerie during our latest stay. Both restaurants are located inside the Four Seasons George V. Our experience at L'Orangerie was vastly superior to Le Cinq and we would recommend everyone to go there instead of Le Cinq. Le Cinq has a single static menu. You essentially have to take the menu as it is, as soon as you want to change one course you are off to the "A la carte" dining section. We tried to swap a course from the menu for the Turbot but they couldn't do that for the three of us because apparently they could either split it for two or four, not for three. We then built our own 5-course menu from the a la carte menu. We received one Amuse-bouche (surprise from the kitchen) before our chosen dishes were served. Fish bites, served on some type of transparent gel. Then they brought our chosen courses, each in rapid succession. In-between our chosen courses there was no break, no in-between surprise course (Intermède) to clean the palate which is usually standard in Michelin restaurants. The courses came in rapid succession, basically 4 courses within 1 hour. The meals were cooked well, without fault, however they were seriously lacking in finesse. There was no surprising taste unfolding, no new aroma to be discovered. We have experienced more finesse in restaurants with just one Michelin star. The meal-adjusted wine pairing we tried to order for each course didn't work as intended either, the lady started to serve red wine before the fish course was due instead of waiting for the meat course. Service was spotty as well, quite a few different servers served us this evening, each not knowing of what language to speak to each guest (which we explained to our first server). We aborted the meal before ordering dessert. Just to give the contrast to L'Orangerie located in the same Hotel: In L'Orangerie, you can pick between several options for each course of the menu, fish or vegetarian. So each guest can configure the menu to cater to their palate instead of being forced to take a fixed menu or fall off the menu towards a la carte. After each guest ordered his version of the menu, we could order a wine pairing and the sommelier took care to deliver a fitting glass of wine to each course without fault. The dishes at L'Orangerie had each their own finesse and surprising tastes to be discovered, for example the little spheres of egg yolk would enter your mouth intact and later burst to give a completely new taste to the bite you just took. Between each course there was a in-between course as a surprise from the kitchen - they all were lovely and exciting. You have one fixed server in L'Orangerie and occasionally the sommelier will step by to explain the wine pairing. Service was perfect. Our meal took from 7pm to 23pm, so everything was perfectly spaced out. Our 5 courses at Le Cinq were rushed through so fast that were were at the desert stage at 9pm (we also started at 7pm). L'Orangerie delivered a dining experience worth multiple Michelin stars, Le Cinq was disappointing in comparison.

I am grateful and lucky to say that I’ve had the privilege to dine in some of the best restaurants in the world. This was one of the best meals of my life. I can’t stop thinking about it. The service was beyond anything I’ve ever experienced. The servers are respectful, professional, and have such a great sense of humor. I felt welcomed and cared for from the moment I stepped into the hotel. For me, the food was amazing. It was an inventive (and delicious) combination of colors, smells, textures, and freshness that was a masterclass in modern gastronomy. Yes, the price tag is high but this establishment is the standard of excellence and very few come close to it. I highly recommend that if you have the means to do this then to please make a reservation asap. The finishing touch at the end was the dessert bar. The waiter even packed me up two boxes of wrapped caramel to take home AND they sent us home with commemorative picture. I will remember this experience for the rest of my life.

Great atmosphere for sure, but disappointing to spend so much on a meal and the lobster was like rubber. The gnochi was also lack luster. The other stuff was pretty good just not worth the price and definitely not Michelin 3 stars

This is the best restaurant in the world, don't come here unless you're really about that life. Come here for the multiple Michelin stars and all the treats they surprise you with along the way that you didn't order and couldn't if you wanted to because some of it is unclear what it's even made of but will change your life. Come here for the steak that looks like a garden and definitely for the chocolate tray with nougat. Always and i do mean always get the signature spaghetti box! Don't order from the cheese tray unless they you really know what's up for real and don't ask any questions about the butter. This is always a 4 figure dinner so expect that. Americans.. Don't come here in your gallery department tee shirt you're embarrassing all of us and they will put a coat on you.

The ambience itself is very pleasant and the food is good - but unfortunately nothing more. It is good food, but neither in terms of innovation nor finesse or accuracy (some courses were borderline well seasoned) at 3-star level. In European comparison (outside Paris) a clear 2 stars, but to be fair also not below 2 stars. The service was less than convincing, friendly but ultimately not very attentive. The sommelière was not very helpful. If you ignore the dimension of value for money, you can dine sufficiently well here. Those looking for 3-star-dinner as culinary highlights should look elsewhere - there are great 3-star-places in France & Europe charging half the price for a better experience.

If it was possible to give more than five stars, that would be the rating this amazing restaurant deserves. I have never had a meal in my life where I felt more special, more respected, and more cared for than having dinner at Le Cinq. The food was amazing, and the service was so wonderful just thinking about it and writing it literally brings tears to my eyes. Thank you Le Cinq for such a beautiful experience.

. everything was amazing! Paris has soo many Michelin restaurants, but I wanted something romantic to celebrate a birthday. Upon arrival, you get the star treatment. They even have a seat for your bag. There were so many dishes. The pigeon was amazing! If you love desserts, be prepared for many dessert dishes. I'd recommend for anyone visiting.

It is once in a life time thing due to the price.

Been to many two and three star Michelin restaurants but have to say I was disappointed in the overall value. For a Party of four the bill came out to nearly 4000 euro (without bottles of wines)! At that cost I would expect more in terms of the main course(s). Deer was the main course but the table didn’t want that so we asked for the famous pressed pasta dish which they kindly obliged. Little did we know that they would cut a single portion in half to serve two people! Can’t fault the restaurant on service, creativeness, taste, or service timings. But…for these prices I am expecting Waygu and lobster. Sorry but would not visit them again.

We love Le Cinq and are fortunate to be able to come back fairly regularly. This visit the spaghetti en gratin had a very generous addition of truffe blanche. Oh. The chef gladly accommodates vegetarians and for this dish it simply means leaving out the jambon - the mushrooms have so much flavor it doesn't lack depth (I am developing a craving as I am typing this). The spouse is a very discerning diner and since she is always enthusiastic about going back to Le Cinq I deduce the non-vegetarians are also in perfect hands there. Service was perfect, attentive but unobtrusive. I would be remiss if I didn't mention how much Monsieur Painchaud adds to the entire dining experience. What a civilized place.

Best meal we have ever had. Le Cinq was an outstanding dinner experience. Everything you would want in a 3 star michelin. The room is beautiful, as is the hotel. The staff were terrific, and hit just the right note. Helpful, informative, funny, sufficiently formal/informal. Started out with a fantastic round of white and rose champagne by the glass. Followed by an immense wine list, helpful sommelier. Reasonable bottles available. We opted for the a la carte and had excellent dishes. The famous pasta dish was outstanding, as were the gnnochi. Everything else was likewise superb. Excellent amuse buche, one of which was one of the best bite I have ever had. Lots of little extras, truly delicious bread. Way too much dessert. If you are looking for the classic 3 star michelin you cannot go wrong here.

Amazing service. Went beyond our expectations. Beautiful surroundings...fresh flowers, dim lighting,...even a rose petal heart in the middle of the table for our anniversary. Very elegant. Dress code was upheld. I had the spaghetti entree and onion appetizer. Both were so complex and delicious. My husband had the scallops app and the beef entree. Everything was well done. The courses just kept on coming...so many extras. Everything was delicious.

I was expecting to be underwhelmed for overpriced food, but was pleasantly surprised. This place exceeded my expectations by leaps and bounds. The hotel is gorgeous, the staff is well trained and precise in their service. Food was exceptional. Over all experince was a 10/5. I don’t think I can remember the last time I enjoyed such an exceptional meal. Presentation, food, tastes, service, ambience, value etc were all incredible. Would recommend.
