Le Cinq (French pronunciation: [lə sɛ̃k]) is a gourmet restaurant in Paris, France, part of the Four Seasons Hotel George V. Le Cinq opened in 2001 to much fanfare and rapidly achieved 1, 2, then 3 Michelin Red Guide stars under the direction of chef Philippe Legendre before being demoted to 2 stars.[1] Chef Eric Briffard took over from 2008 until October 2014 when Christian Le Squer, formerly of the 3-star Michelin restaurant Ledoyen, became head chef.[2] The restaurant regained its third Michelin star in 2016.[3] Also in 2016, Le Squer was voted chef of the year.[4]
