Following
the announcement of the 2017 Michelin Guide, the restaurants

of five Michelin stars, making it the first luxury Hotel in
Europe with three Michelin-starred restaurants.
Four Seasons George V Trio of Michelin Star Chefs
Le
George and L'Orangerie have both been awarded their first Michelin
star in the latest edition of the Michelin Guide and join the
Hotel's French haute cuisine restaurant, Le Cinq, which retains
the highest accolade of three Michelin stars for the second
consecutive year.
Christian
Le Squer comments: "The third Michelin star for Le Cinq
for the second consecutive year rewards the very essence of
today's cuisine and we strive to continuously evolve our style
and techniques to instill an emotional connection with our guests."

The
style and excellence of Le Cinq takes me back to my first visit
to Paris in the 60s when I experienced true French elegance
and culinary delights at the George V. The ambiance and exquisite
accouterments that are the lovely visual props for beyond superb
gastronome presentations in Le Cinq are a continuation of opulent
dining experiences enjoyed in the opulent French city for centuries.
At breakfast guests revel in the amazing touch of a petit crème
brulet served. It is difficult to imagine a more charming way
to start a day in Paris.
José
Silva, Regional Vice President and General Manager of Four Seasons
Hotel George V stated "I have always had the highest culinary
aspirations for our team who have worked to continuously innovate
and exceed our guests' expectations. I believe the five Michelin
stars awarded are a testament to this commitment to excellence
brought to life by our Chefs, Christian Le Squer, Simone Zanoni,
David Bizet and their teams. We are honored to be the first
Hotel in Europe to hold this designation and look forward to
many more years of culinary excellence." Showcasing the
cuisine of three Chefs, each with their own individual identities,
diverse talents and distinctive styles, the Four Seasons Hotel
George V offers guests an unprecedented culinary experience
under the same roof, and is now indisputably the leading gourmet
address of the capital.

Chef
Simone Zanoni adds: "After a long career in different Michelin
starred restaurants, I think I have finally found my place at
the George where the light and convivial cuisine meets a buzzing
and trendy ambiance. I believe this Michelin star follows the
evolution of our guests' desire for a friendlier and more informal
dining experience with exceptional flavors."
David
Bizet concludes: "During my 17 years in Le Cinq's kitchens,
I have forged a passion for excellence and it is with the same
quest for perfection that I have worked on L'Orangerie's menu.
The Michelin star received today, just eight months following
our opening, is a reward that honours the tireless work of our
teams to create dishes that pay homage to nature and the changing
seasons."
Le George Restaurant
The
L'Orangerie is the first thing guests see when walking from
the lobby to go to their guest room. The open atrium style venue
is exquisite, always filled with the colorful artistic flower
arrangements that Four Seasons is known for. On my last visit
it was filled with amazing Iris arrangements, and the contrast
of the blue-purple flowers and the stark white of the venue
was spectacular. This bright open dining venue is the place
to be seen in Paris, and is always filled with chic Parisians
and travelers. The menu offers the finest in beautiful French
cuisine.
I fell in love with the Four Seasons Hotel George V many years
ago and it is a pleasure to see this iconic property continue
to experience ongoing renewal with style and grace, offering
guests a place to remember the past with a pleasurable view
on the future. I'm looking forward to my next visit to the 'city
of lights' and yet another memorable stay at the Four Seasons
George V. It's good to remember that advance reservations are
required at these star venues in Paris.
