Michelin Star Crepe Suzette dish at the 5-Star Ritz London by Luigi Cagnin tableside service

[@MA-is5hh]

A little bit of sugar about 1/4 pound A little bit of butter about 1 full stick A little bit of grand manier about 1 liter A little bit of fire until it reaches 300 C. Then finish with the cognac about half of liter

Agreed, but I am sure it is included in the price, which is currently converted to $113.00 US per person, going up to just under $145 US per person on January 03, 2025.

My favorite dessert, and I even learned to make it almost like Luigi ! But it's so expensive. I have to buy a bottle of Grand Marnier, a bottle of Cognac, then after a few months and that disappears, I start thinking of Crepe Suzette again, and a little voice in my head says 'that's $180 Australian' ! Okay. Tub of ice cream.

[@rustystuff]

An amazing dish at a beautiful hotel 👌 I couldn’t recommend enough 🥂

[@Tennisisreallyfun]

Heavenly!!! I forgot exactly who it was that this dish was originally made for (I think the Prince of Wales, actually, as far as the legend goes), but I believe the story was that he ordered crepes in an orange sauce at a cafe in Paris and a bartender or waiter with some Cognac was walking by the chef with his hot pan on his way from the cellar to the restaurant and they bumped into each other, the alcohol splashing into the pan by accident!!! A good thrashing later for the poor bartender by what was surely a very stereotypically angry Parisian chef and, voila, the sauce was pronounced delicious by said chef and it was served to the Prince who named it after his female companion (wink wink😂). Is the story true? Probably not, but it’s fun!!! Anyways, this looks amazing, and I love the theater of the table side preparation. It’s especially amazing when the alcohol is poured down a twisted orange peel like they do at Taillevent🤩

[@Thestaffcanteen]

[@HextorBane]

It is quite evident that Mr. Luigi either has no idea about proportions or he is talking randomly while pouring the ingredients. A few drops of Grand Marnier are clearly two large glasses. As for the sugar, there will be at least 500 grams in that pan.

[@kentaylor2416]

What was the fruit in the cheesecloth? Lemon or orange?

One of those dishes where the sauce isn't the garnish. The sauce *is* the dish, and the crepes are the garnish.

[@Thestaffcanteen]

Confused? We are 🤔

[@bigdog5177]

@@ThestaffcanteenThe sauce is skillfully built from its ingredients in front of the customers eyes and double flambéed - it is 90% of the dish, imo. The “pancake” is premade, and not really the focal point other than to act as a delicious sponge for the double flambéed orange caramel sauce aka Crepe Suzette Sauce.

Perhaps making the pancake separately and serving it with the sauce instead would retain some crispy texture?
