Plénitude
Plénitude · París, Francia, Paris
Por The 50 Discovery ·
Setting the scene: Plénitude is on the first floor of the LVMH-owned luxury boutique hotel, Cheval Blanc Paris, which inhabits the historic La Samaritaine building overlooking the famed Pont Neuf in Paris. The split-level dining room affords dreamy views of the River Seine and various notable Parisian landmarks from every table.
On the plate: Chef Arnaud Donckele is one of France’s most accomplished cooks, with a laser focus on sauces as the centre point of each dish. The seven-course tasting menu might include sardine served with a piquant green Eden sauce, while plump langoustine comes with an airy sabayon, but it’s the vegetable, seafood or meat accompanying the sauce more than vice-versa. Donckele’s exquisite bouillons, consommés, sabayons and vinaigrettes – and their ingredients – are detailed in written form for guests to take home with them.
