Plénitude at Cheval Blanc Paris – Chef Arnaud Donckele
On the first floor of Cheval Blanc Paris, the gastronomic restaurant of Chef Arnaud Donckele (awarded five toques and a 19/20 rating by Gault & Millau) Plénitude is an intimate place where sensual pleasures arise from new alliances: maturity and freshness, tradition and location, familiar and far-flung. Suddenly, time stands still, suspended in unforgettable moments at the luxurious Cheval Blan Paris.
Plénitude at Cheval Blanc Paris
The cuisine at Plénitude takes inspiration from the tradition of preservations such as broths, vinaigrettes, creams, veloutés, juices. These rural traditions of potting, refining and maturation bring forth essences and perennial aromas, inscribed in history. Arnaud Donckele has plunged with passion into this ancestral art of preservation in search of new fragrances and flavours. He unites this heritage, entirely reinvented during his exploratory walks, with the freshest ingredients of the day.
For each of his “magic potions”, Arnaud Donckele has given a number, such as his Velours n°1, whose secret lies in a skilful composition of bonito belly filets, prawn consommé, Lambrusco-and Chardonnay vinegar, chestnut honey and citron essence, rosemary infusion, roasted fish-head oil, and Java pepper.
And then there are his other sublime sauces: Juice n°2, Cream n°7, Vinaigrette n°6 or Bouillon n°9. So many extracts of happiness infused into the moment and the plate of the day. The discoveries continue with Maxime Frédéric’s desserts, which seal another alliance: that of two artists’ flavours.
