Le Cinq: Three-Michelin-Star Excellence at the Heart of Paris
At Le Cinq, Chef Christian Le Squer presents French gastronomy at its highest level, combining classical technique with contemporary creativity to create dishes that are both technically brilliant and deeply satisfying. His cuisine reflects a profound understanding of French culinary traditions while demonstrating the innovation and personal vision that have earned him three Michelin stars and a 19.5/20 rating from Gault&Millau.
The menu showcases exceptional ingredients, with a particular emphasis on seafood and products from Brittany, the region that has profoundly influenced the chef's culinary philosophy. Le Squer's approach to premium ingredients like osciètre caviar, line-caught sea bass, and Breton langoustines demonstrates his ability to honor the natural qualities of each product while elevating them through precise technique and thoughtful preparation.
Signature dishes reveal the chef's mastery and creativity. The truffle spaghetti gratin has become legendary among regular guests, while the foie gras shaped into smooth pebbles showcases his ability to reimagine classic preparations. His treatment of lobster with frothy butter and cauliflower cream enhanced with sea urchin exemplifies the sophisticated flavor combinations that define his cuisine. The marinated scallops demonstrate his skill with raw and lightly cooked seafood, while his various preparations of line-caught fish highlight his deep understanding of marine products.
Pastry Chef Michael Bartocetti complements Le Squer's savory creations with innovative desserts that incorporate fresh fruits and honey. His creative approach to pastry, including unexpected combinations like fresh milk with yeast, provides a memorable conclusion to the meal while maintaining the refinement and technical excellence that characterizes the entire dining experience.
The kitchen's commitment to excellence extends to accommodating dietary preferences, with vegetarian and gluten-free options available upon request. This flexibility ensures that all guests can experience Le Cinq's exceptional cuisine regardless of dietary requirements, though we recommend mentioning any restrictions when making your reservation to allow the kitchen to prepare appropriately.
