Jay Rayner is one of the UK’s pre-eminent food writers. But he doesn’t mince his words. His assessment of Le Cinq in this week’s Observer is marked by a directness that has become his signature.
The review opens “There is only one thing worse than being served a terrible meal: being served a terrible meal by earnest waiters who have no idea just how awful the things they are doing to you are.”
The restaurant at the Four Seasons Hôtel George V in Paris may boast three-Michelin-stars, but it completely failed to please the restaurant critic who has been called ‘Acid Rayner’
“In terms of value for money and expectation Le Cinq supplied by far the worst restaurant experience I have endured in my 18 years in this job.”
