great report Trine – thank you. I was there this time last year and had a fabulous meal, although my photos were completely rubbish so thank you for showing us how to do it! Look forward to hearing of more Paris and Stockholm reports – but no London trips?

will be in touch soon.

Thank you, u.e. Dainty, what a very good term for describing the food. You’re right!

@ Trine: Lovely, lovely report as usual. The food seems so elegant and dainty, despite the restaurant’s name.

Lets just assume that Bruce likes good food…to keep it on subject…

I dont dare to tell you or you will think I am either crazy or a professional stalker lol. I shook his hand after the show in 1996, I met him outside his hotel in 99 in Berlin, and got my first autograph,
met him in George V 2005, spoke brifly, got a second autograph. Met him in George V 2006, had a real conversation and photo of him with my wife and Oscar, had myself a photo of Mrs Springsteen and me. Met him in Dublin 2006 where he signed the George V photo. Missed him on several other occasions, but have been lucky to have nice chats and breakfsts with his inner circle. And all this I can say has happened in a relaxed atmosphere…I do kinda respect his “private” life you know, and off the stage, the initiative has to come from him or his. I have seen bad cases of fans approaching at all cost, but even then he is a good sport about it normally. Oh I forgot, I was in the bar with him after the show in Oslo in 2008, but too many fans there making it impossible to really enjoy that moment. But he sat down and talked with the fans at the table next to us…3 of which were 3 blonde Norwegian females..lol.

Back to very good food…off to Babette soon.

Ah, thanks for the explanation about Bruce, “Gastronaut”. Have you only met him at le George V, or also elsewhere?
I don’t think I can ever afford to stay there.

The 3 star book are bz the same authors as the the red one that came out 2 years ago. As far as I can judge from here…the review of some of the French restaurants are the same. Its still fantastic and comes around 100 eur (800 DKK).

As for Bruce and George V. Those were the days, the fat years. I dont think they will be back but I shall treasure the memory. As for the bar in George V. This was my first experience in this fantastic hotel. The hours after the 2005 Bruce show – the with a fantastic service minded and story telling young bar keeper. While eating their George V Clubsandwich with lobster, sipping Puligny Fume, and later Alsacien white beer….what a night. I think I have stayed there 4 times, enjoyed/encountered Bruce twice, and not to forget Le Cing twice as well, with the fantastic legendary Eric Beaumard.

“Gastronaut”, Liked your Bruce joke! When are you planning to return to Le V? No, haven’t seen the new 3* book yet.

Stephane, go with Mr L!

Adam, yes I’m intrigued! The bar isn’t as fancy as the lobby, though. I’m now looking forward to your noma and MR posts

Lovely review Trine and you pics are f…g good !! Geez, i’ll show this to Inaki, Fred and the guys, they’ll love their face

I can’t support you more regarding this table, becoming one of my favourite in Paris. For 45 euros, it’s just a bargain indeed.

@Adam : i’ve been there 12 times this year, maybe can we have together my 13th meal there – why not after a lunch at l’Agapé ?

Glad you took tea at Le Cinq … the entire lobby and dining room areas are just gorgeous. Never been to the bar though … kind of intimidates me :-\.

I have to stop by Chateaubriand … your meal looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing !

Hi Trine,

Glad you finally made it to Le Cinq, if only for a peep. Was Bruce there ? (joke).

By the way…have you bought the new Danish book about 3 stars European Restaurants ? Its grand.

@adrian, they do seem to get a lot of attention must be doing something right since they keep getting it?

@Food Snob, you got fresh truffles. I didn’t. Selv tak.

Redzepe lives in the middle of nowhere. Inaki is stronger as a media-friendly pretty boy than in the kitchen. That said I have always had fun dinners at the Chateaubriand, but I think they get too much attention.
