That was the most civilised crepe suzette cooking I’ve ever seen. 0:50 Even the cascading sugar from the spoon had a delightful pattern. Man has sophisticated skills.

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.
Might be expensive but hey, what an amazing and iconic dessert in a World temple of Gastronomy. I've experienced this a few times at the Ritz and it's a stunning dessert and not as simple as it looks. The flavours are superb and the theatre is magical. Nice one Luigi , you're an absolute star and hope to see you again very soon.
crep=10 cents, sugar=2 cents, butter=30 cents, orange peel and juice =20 cents, high spirits= a few euros. selling price over 60 euros according to some comments. this is a scam😂
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.
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 I forgot exactly who it was that this dish was originally made for (I think the Prince of Wales, actually, as far as the legend goes), but I believe the story was that he ordered crepes in an orange sauce at a cafe in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🤩
It's awesome because it gave birth to modern fine dining, was the main stage of Auguste Escoffier, the father of all modern fine dining, and César Ritz, the father of the modern 5* hotel.
@@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.
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.
Been seeing this stuff for so long and always turn my nose up at it for giving 2 bites of food makes me wonder if I'm actually missing out because people are always willing to pay so much for this
The level of class in this video is exceptional and mesmerizing. But I'm not impressed by the end result and I bet it cost 4 times more than I'm guessing!
you would have thought the ritz would be embarrassed by how scratched and beaten up that trolley looks, a brown ink marker pen costs about 50p and would be a temporary fix until they have time to get it re-lacquered but cant be bothered to do that. its a shame as the front of house seem very good at their jobs, the management on the other hand....
@@Thestaffcanteen yeah it is, its all scratched and they dont seem to mind showing that, so imagine what they dont want you to see! go look at other tableside service videos at other places the equipment isnt old and tired looking.

Thanks for the comment
Chef directions: "Next, a few drops (20ml max) of grand manier
Waiter: "Sure ..." - puts in half a bottle
😂😂😂
If only every chef was like that what a dream
Yeah, the irony is almost undetectable. I guess it's a dry measure.
"Couple drops of Grand Marnier" *pours in half of the bottle* 🤣
Thats 75ml to 100ml by the looks.
Sets the ceiling on fire! 😂😂😂
Followed by 'a few drops' of cognac. Must be veeery expensive.
@@bobikdylan Yeah, far too much alcohol in it in my opinion. Even for a pan sauce you don't use that much.

@@brianlawson363true, but there's nothing wrong with occasionally spoiling yourself.
One of those dishes where the sauce isn't the garnish. The sauce *is* the dish, and the crepes are the garnish.
Confused? We are 🤔

I'm going to ask for one of these at Wetherspoons, they look lovely.
Can we come??

bit of sugar, and covers the pan with it
Bit of sugar- 8 spoon fulls… easy
Yep, also the few drops of Grand Marnier... half the bottle 😂
Classical French cooking measurements 🤣
Yummm 😮
Exquisite, chef!
Many thanks!

Bravo good sir 👏

Understated.
Mr. Cagnin speaking like a G.I. Man from Half-Life.
“A few drops of Grande Marnie…” pours out half the bottle.
😉
I used to think thats what was said in the old Gilette videos. "Crepe suzette, the best a man can get." 🤔
😂😂😂
And what's the cost of a couple of bites of a very thin pancake?
About 400 calories 😉
Crepe Suzette? This is more like Crepe Fire Brigade.
Take it easy on the liquor, Luigi.
lol that piece can't even fill my mouth once! waiter!! maje 10 more!
Can’t argue with that.
It looks glorious. The flames are obviously a great touch.
If I may, I would garnish with some nicely tart greek yogurt instead of vanilla ice-cream.
Yes it would 🙌🏻
a few drops. Drops??? i like the style but it's not drops its a shot or more , correct?
Its all fun and games until you get a table that says 8x the crepes please . Every komis nightmare.
I like to add 3-4 filets of orange to the pan, let simmer in the caramel sauce and then serve on top of the crepes.
Sounds awesome
Expensive deep-fried pancake. Probably tastes pretty good.
Tasted bloody amazing 🤩
I thought you were going to make the pancakes in the video too, I want my money back
I also make a version using only bread crumbs and beer no cook method
The way this guy rolls random Rs reminds me of Peggy hill speaking spanish
Yeah, I'm thinking this guy does everything in this manner. 😬☺
What was the fruit in the cheesecloth? Lemon or orange?
Food video with someone not eating it is like renting a car without driving it.
We ate it 😊
I could hear the chef in the back saying
Hurry the f**k up!!!! Bloody hell!!!!! it doesn’t take 10 mins to make caramel sauce
It’s theatre enjoy
I appreciate the showmanship but as a chef i really think the making of the crepe us what really matters.
Been seeing this stuff for so long and always turn my nose up at it for giving 2 bites of food makes me wonder if I'm actually missing out because people are always willing to pay so much for this
Perhaps making the pancake separately and serving it with the sauce instead would retain some crispy texture?
Yes, but that is not the goal. It is supposed to be tender and delicate, not crisp.
i feel i could use a few drops right now...
😂😂😂
