Plénitude

Arnaud Donckele’s sauces above the Seine

Arnaud Donckele earned three stars within a year of opening Plénitude at the Cheval Blanc Paris, the hotel in the Samaritaine building: a small, precious room with views of the Seine and Pont Neuf, and a menu built around sauces of astonishing complexity, each named and presented like a perfume. The most sought-after table in Paris since 2021.
