In this video, I compare cheap vs expensive dining in Paris, starting with an €8 meal at the iconic Bouillon Chartier Grands Boulevards before heading to one of the most luxurious dining experiences in the city: Le Cinq inside the Four Seasons Hotel George V.
From historic French comfort food to Michelin-starred fine dining, I compare the meals on taste, value, service, and overall experience to see how much difference the price really makes.
At Le Cinq, the menu features some eye-watering prices, including an asparagus dish for €130. helping push the total bill to €1,640.
Is the luxury experience worth over 200 times the price, or does the budget option hold its own? Let's find out.
Restaurants visited:
Bouillon Chartier Grands Boulevards - 7 Rue du Faubourg Montmartre, 75009 Paris
Le Cinq - 31 Av. George V, 75008 Paris
