Experiencing Franzén is really something completely different. And I really say experience and not eat for a reason, because Franzén is an experience beyond just the food. It's a show that you're a part of, and you can tell that every little detail is strictly reviewed. Even the elevator is timed to match the music playing on the way up and down. I get the feeling that the staff are announcing each other about the company, because almost the first thing that happens when we get up to the drink is that a daring joke is told to my guy friend, nothing inappropriate but it flies to the right person - and how it flew. We get to start with a redemptive laugh that takes away the nervousness - because yes, we were definitely a little nervous. Of course, we start with champagne, and the kind of champagne you as a regular person never get the chance to enjoy. We get fantastic little canapés where the flavors are so complex but at the same time obvious. It's so good that we start laughing again. All of us who have seen pictures from Franzén have seen the famous "hatch" where you are presented with what you are going to eat during the evening - exciting and fun. After a bunch of canapés and snacks, we head down to the dining room. Again, it all feels so timed. The food is amazing, to say the least. You can't say anything else. I'm also struck by the playfulness of Franzén, and that's almost the best. Small napkins with embroidered smileys, you eat langoustines with your hands. After hours that feel like minutes, we come back up to the living room, for coffee treats and cigars on the balcony. We talk to the waiter who tells us war stories about all the years. After an evening of impressions and extreme luxury, we find ourselves in the elevator down and the tones of "I just can't get enough". And that's exactly exactly the case. The next morning, the Avanza account "Franzén" is launched - now the savings for next time begin.
