A career boost for Rayner. Traffic jam? His own website is down now!
I tried to find other articles he has written on French restaurants I have eaten. Looks like he like classical French dishes though, he has written on Chez George, Bofinger… Well, he liked Au Pied de Cochon, which I find it overprice and bland. You can find more tasty pork dishes in more humble bistrot or brasseries with a much lesser price tag. There is no wonder why he dislikes the cooking of Le Squer, which is the opposite of the classical meals.
Actually, I believe Le Squer is at his peak of his career now, he got his three stars not long ago, he won the title of the best Chef of 2016 last September. I can understand some 3 stars chef in France aren’t in their prime time since a long time, but I’m quite surprise by the extreme negativity on Le Cinq, at this price tag, you can’t have a bad day. Does it imply that Le Squer is going too far (or not far enough) with his experiments and ignoring tastes?
