Your channel has become my favourite food channel since I discovered you a few days ago and I was pleasantly surprised that you're Hungarian! The next time I'm in Hungary I'll make sure to visit your beautiful restaurant. :)
Unfortunately politics gets in the way :-(. So sad that Hungary is blocking Sweden from joining NATO when such a food lover from that country is so in love with Europe and its food. Love your videos and hopefully you will open a restaurant in Europe until Hungary wants to be part of us again, rather than join ruzzia. Phillip.

I seldom subscribe, but after watching three videos i realize that this channel has something extra. I will be following for your honest and excellent reviews. Great job Alexander "The Guest" Varga.
Wen't to Frantzen in February, can't compare it to anything else I've ever... Every new dish was like the best thing I had ever eaten and the music and vibe of the restaurant is perfection ... Fine dinning done in a modern way both with food, music and service. Been to a lot of other Michelin stared restaurants before and been to a few after Frantzen but so far nothing comes even close...
Maybe as much as the food, I also enjoy seeing the interior design of the restaurant. That kitchen looked beautiful from the inside with the accents of wood combined with stone and copper, not to mention the lounge area and man that bbq pit looked amazing as well with the combination of warm bricks, metallic and the overlap of spruce.
I love your videos! It's super in-depth and exudes great production value! I would love to see a video at the end of this year about your personal favorite 2023 restaurant! It'd be interesting to see what you think.
I live in Stockholm and always wanted to go. But it’s a bit pricey even for Michelin level. That said maybe someday! I appreciate the view of the menu looks amazing ❤
Wow. I enjoy learning about every restaurant you cover...maybe not the last two. But this one seems to be absolutely perfect. The vibe, the service, and of course the dishes blend beautifully together. Thank you so much!
Wow, loved it Alexander !! And the look on the face of the sommelier with the Krug 2000 ;-) !!! Hahaha !! Beautiful menu, definitely my style. Thanks !!! And looking forward to Hof van Cleve, as I have been there recently ...
I usually don't take reviews of restaurants too seriously when it seems like the reviewer has some affiliation, but I think it's completely different with 3 star restaurants. In a case where excellence is a standard, seeing how a "VIP" would be treated is a unique refrence and sets expectations in stone. Fluctuating expectations aren't tolerated in that industry so you know there isnt much room for subjectivity to be swayed by affiliation. That's why it's especially nice having a comparison in knowing your getting the best of service upon a visit, and what I think seperates your channel as an owner from the average reviewer.
Have been to Frantzen two times and are by no means anyone they know and his experience are exactly the same as the one I got. So you are right that at 3-star everyone are VIP.
The rat might also reference the football team he used to play for: AIK. Their mascot is often portrayed as a rat, and a common nickname, Gnaget, means to chew with your front teeth, also something associated with rats and mice.
When you exited the elevator it had the feeling of being in a friend's living room...bright, airy, and cozy. I loved the plating of the dishes and would love to try the onion and licorice course. Thanks for taking us along with you!
I live in Florida. And have cooked professionally for 10yrs. I truly enjoy your channel and all The insight to the highest end of the spectrum. Thank you for what you do keep it up. PS my wife is Hungarian
Frantzen is still the best restaurant i have visit. It is pricey but so good. Next time you need to visit two star Aira. It is excellent. Good choice with the second growth Bordeaux, one of my favorite!
Love your channel! Insightful and good videography. Being Swedish and loving food I visited Frantzén about 2 years ago and it was my best meal to date. I do believe their prices has increased about 40% since then :o, at that time I found it "worth its price", maybe also now?
Been on this channel from almost day 1, when only 3 videos were released. Now it's already has almost 200k subs. That's amazing, one of the finest food channels on youtube. Keep it up!
Én imádtam a videót. Én Angliába megyek el egyetemre és a barátaim azért tudják hogy honnan jövök mert te mindig beszélsz róla szóval köszönöm szépen !!
Frantzen is one of the truly world class restaurants at the moment, better than Noma, Geranium and most of the other restaurants on this channel. Great to see it covered.
When i lived in Sweden, i always wanted to go. It is hard to get in and i never managed to get the reservation i needed on the date of choice. Until one day, a barkeeper told me he can get me in for a bottle of whiskey i had in my collection. Not a fancy bar, it was so random. So i did the trade, got my date of choice and it was amazing.
This would be well beyond my budget, but looked wonderful. I appreciate that you listed the flavors. A few of those I'd never have considered using together but might give it a try.
you can see the check at the end. They paid about 25 000 sek for beverage. But anyone wanting to eat there is 4800 + wine package, makes it cheaper but still expensive af@@per8888
Thank you for visiting all of these restaurants! Many of the dishes are far beyond my skill level as a home cook but the unusual flavor pairings or ingredient combinations are inspiring! Also, will we see you at some unusual and exclusive dining venues like Disney Club 33? Ones that have some fame but not to the level of Michelin stars or top 100 dining.
Me: God, exquisite presentation, definitely the best I've ever seen. Phenomenal colors, truly the pinnacle of fine dining. One I simply must try one day. Also me: *30 euros in my bank account, in my 20 sqm apartment eating the most complicated dish I've made in 3 weeks (instant noodles with a single egg).*
I love your videos. Do fly to the island of Sylt in Germany's north. Johannes King cooks!!! Been binge-watching for the last few days. It's a bit distracting that I have to turn on CC - you are very difficult to understand :(
Great video as usual…planning a trip To San Sebastián Spain this spring wondering if you had any input on must visit restaurants…also more videos on this iconic food destination would be amazing
35000 for two is an insane amount of money. That’s perhaps my strongest gripe in this country. The price they set isn’t proportional at all to what people are making in this country.
Having tried only a couple michelin star restaurants throughout my 35 years of living, and most recently Adam/Albin (A genuinely pleasant experience, highly recommended), visiting Frantzén for a dinner experience is one of the biggest food related dreams of mine. Unfortunately, it is somewhat hard to motivate when your salary doesn't quite match your passion for fine dining. Soon enough tho, provided I manage to book a table and find proper company for the evening.
Just want to say, working in Michelin restaurants, that Tues-Fri only work days is UNHEARD OF. And the fact that they are and stay a 3 star restaurant speaks volumes of the ability of a healthy, happy work-life balance.
Hi Alexander, I’m a really big fan of your videos. There’s 1 thing that would really interest me though: what is their alcohol free version? To me the wine selection is like “yh it’s this wine brand from that year“ which is nothing interesting at all. However, the few times you ordered the non alcoholic one they came up with all kinds of different inventions with really interesting ideas ppl have never heard of. Maybe it’s just me, but that part is always really interesting.
Hi Alex, would you mind releasing a guide on how to eat at Michelin star restaurants? I'd love to visit them but I'm not sure on etiquette and I'd feel out of place
A guide? Book a table and go and eat. Check if the restaurant had a dress code, if it does, comply with it. It's the restaurants job to make you feel good and enjoy the meal, not yours :)
@@ivankowalski5009 Agreed. Check the dress code and don't be late. That's about it. The hosts are there to help you and most of the Michelin restaurants do what they can to help you enjoy the experience. If you get lucky and it's a REALLY quiet night then a subtle "I hear the kitchens are quite amazing" might get you a short tour. Well worth it. Phillip.
Don't worry about it. What sets a great restaurant apart is that it makes YOU the main character. I've been fortunate enough to have visited Frantzén and they will treat you like a star and literally guide you through every meal.
You should check out Le Degustation in Prague. One Michelin star but service is beyond extraordinary. Would love to see that review as I was just there a couple of weeks ago
Great as always. @Alexandertheguest do you have any recommendations for good champagnes at a more affordable price point ? The Krug likely is great but its on the expensive side ;-)
How did you like Frantzén?
Coming up next: Hof Van Cleve! 🥂
Happy to see you are coming back to Belgium!
Looking forward to that as a belgian!
