Jay Rayner's review of Le Cinq

On 9 April 2017, the British newspaper The Observer published an article by Jay Rayner, its restaurant critic, describing a meal for two at Le Cinq, a luxury restaurant in Paris. Rayner visited with the intention of writing an observational piece on how expensive some restaurants were, as he had been irritated by people complaining about the cost of eating out. The review described his experience as by far the worst of his 18-year career, exacerbated by the earnestness of the waitstaff. The piece went viral and was praised by writers from Vox and Vice, though many reviewers from French outlets criticised Rayner. The food website Eater listed the review on their Best Bad Restaurant Reviews of 2017 listicle.
