Dinner at Plenitude

Top 10 of 2024, at number 7

On Christmas Day, we return to Paris for our number 7 of 2024! Overall, our visit to the acclaimed Plénitude by chef Arnaud Donckele was one of the most complete experiences we’ve had.

When it comes to gastronomy, opinions often differ—there are supporters and critics, and not every type of cuisine suits everyone’s taste. Plénitude, however, is the exception to this rule. Everyone who has been here sings its praises, and I fully understand why.

Top 10 of 2024, at number 7

On Christmas Day, we return to Paris for our number 7 of 2024! Overall, our visit to the acclaimed Plénitude by chef Arnaud Donckele was one of the most complete experiences we’ve had.

When it comes to gastronomy, opinions often differ—there are supporters and critics, and not every type of cuisine suits everyone’s taste. Plénitude, however, is the exception to this rule. Everyone who has been here sings its praises, and I fully understand why.

If there were to be a blueprint for the ultimate three-star restaurant, this would undoubtedly be the prime example—a place where everything comes together perfectly, with the experience taking center stage. The fact that their menu revolves around sauce as the central theme makes it all the more fascinating.

Perhaps surprisingly, the dish that stayed with me the most was based on sardines:

Sardine whispers fused with fennel and tarragon: Eden’s Velvet

An extraordinary masterpiece by a brilliant chef!

Thanks to @jayduboulay and @joshjosephson for the lovely and most entertaining company!

in paris, france (july’24)

the main reason of our trip to paris, one of the most sought after new tables of europe, fully booked for a whole year in advance. needless to say we had sky high expectations, it was a solid meal but won’t say that our expectations were met and deserves the hype and waitlist it has.

the focus here was on sauces, thats what chef arnaud is known for. using ingredients as a vessel to complement the sauce, and supplying us with a whole bowl of the sauces used for each dish for refills and bread mopping. we opted for their tasting menu instead of a la carte to sample all the ‘signature courses.’

my favourite of the night was their sardine dish, each element was done well, complemented with a cold tomato base sauce which felt minimal and refreshing. another dish i liked was the lobster with artichoke, dual of sauces, one with lobster butter and coral, other one as a slightly acidic sabayon complemented by the plump french lobster. rest of the dishes were normal, expected executions of a 3 star, if that matters. they aim to present lighter courses and flavours than average french fine dining but i found some dishes like the turbot still pretty cloying. aesthetic presentation of the desserts but again, pretty average in flavour.

box is ticked, solid meal with no wow factors whatsoever. knew it was expensive from its location but thought they went a bit overboard, including the wine list. definitely pretentious, definitely a splurge. i’d say worth maybe 3 months maximum of waiting, definitely not a year.

Fantastic dinner at Plenitude. Driven by their sauces which are incredible concoctions by itself.
The red mullet, the langoustine and the pigeon were cooked by great precision and tasted sublime.

Plenitude 1st visit — one of Paris’ hottest new restaurants located in Cheval Blanc Hotel, by the celebrated chef Arnaud Donckele. The focus here are the sauces, served from separate containers, guests are invited to taste the sauce before the dishes. Favorite was the sardine with citron vert vinaigrette, perfect balance of acidity and umami. 3 stars worthy. •
