This is first class. A true maitre d' hotel! So many get it wrong. People appreciate an establishment that respects tradition.

[jamesm.]

Thank you for a concise and clear demonstration.

As soon as I heard "My name is Paul" in that accent, I knew we were in good hands

[janeczek]

Super ! I really appreciate. And lemon + orange = perfect !!! :)

Love the presentation and red carnation hotel. Thank you very much. I will share this video with my friends.

The best way to refresh the palette after a nice meal. This with a after dinner liquor just relaxing.

[gigigigian]

This is very easy to realize très facile à faire

[ivetter.]

I like to think that people will watch videos like this +200 years from now

[andreaquadrati]

Interesting. I might have to try this for New Years

[albusha]

Absolutely master chef. Where can I see more of chef Paul? Wonder if he can go to my country where mountain peaks kiss the clouds and taste our authentic food!

Very interesting, you always learn something new.
I know this variant :
Butter to be melted and kept warm with orange and lemon peels to be scented.
Sugar cubes to be rubbed on orange so to get the taste, and then caramel ized.
Both Cointreau and Gd-Marnier can be used at the same time.
The culinary dictionary say to have the butter whipped with grated mandarine gratted peel and juice with sugar, then spreaded into the pancakes, iced sugar on top and gratinated. No alcohol.
Vive la différence !
How many recipes are around?

Looks great, probably also tastes great. You can also try a combination with orange sorbetto. Contrast of warm and cold, with a very rich orange flavor. Some people serve it with vanilla ice cream, though this ruins the flavor of the crepes suzette.

I’ve had this with Cafe Royal to drink with them.

The restaurant scene from the movie trinity brought me here.

[lambert]

It's not a pancake if it's a "crepe" suzette :D
Still beautiful to see !

[peterpfeifer]

nice demostration, even if this is crepe flambe. crepe suzette is with orange-flavored butter, which is a bit different recipe.

[mathieugutierrez]

The British way of the four Cs: cool, calm and collected cuisine! Well done!!!

[adestimare]

Awesome Video and such a great show of skills.
The only annoying thing was the jarring jump cuts for the steps, they really didn't add anything to the video.
As a Hotelfachmann myself, I'd much rather have watched the flow, since I need to present this to guests as well.

[thornil]

The only thing, I am not sure about the fork in the pan. Wouldn't wood be better?

[Nadegeztv]

You keep seeing pancakes but it is Crêpes
