19/20
Exceptional Restaurant
What more can one do, or do better, when one is like Christian Le Squer, who has been at the top for so long? The chef at the flagship Four Seasons George V has a decisive advantage over those plagued by anxiety or excessive seriousness: a sense of serenity. This is no exaggeration, but with his vast team, he knows exactly where he’s going and how to delight his guests from around the world who simply demand the highest standard of excellence—in hospitality as well as in cuisine. Every dish features both an extra touch of soul and the ultimate refinement—sometimes the same dish is tweaked in the finest detail, as much out of a love for perfection as through a flash of inspiration—all of which is inevitably brought to life by a team of stellar chefs capable of any culinary feat. The foie gras in crispy sheets, the langoustines just seared with the world’s best mayonnaise, the exemplary line-caught sea bass with aged caviar and buttermilk—a nod to the chef’s Breton roots, bearing the hallmark of prestige and excellence—or, among the undisputed classics (we’re beyond a signature here; this is more like the gold standard), the truffle and mushroom “standing” spaghetti or the veal sweetbreads with chanterelles, geranium essence, and basil. Without Éric Beaumard, who has retired to a well-deserved life but remains ever-present in spirit, and in a dining room that’s always exquisitely lively, this is where you’ll find the most brilliant meals in Paris, for a clientele from five continents who treat themselves to a moment of pure excitement right through to the desserts inspired by Michael Bartocetti (meringue-topped grapefruit crisp with both candied and raw elements, frosted malted chocolate-hazelnut crisp…). The finest champagnes, top-tier châteaux, and the most prestigious Burgundy estates are, of course, part of the experience; the exceptionally well-stocked cellar allows guests to tailor their selection to their budget, with a range of choices from France and beyond to suit every taste.
