Plenitude Paris

Plenitude lives up to its name. Its split-level dining room situated on the first floor of Cheval Blanc Paris, the LVMH-owned lux hotel in the heart of the city, offers stunning views of the Seine and Parisian landmarks from every table. The menu, curated by Chef Arnaud Donckele, provides an extensive selection of dishes.

Each dish is built around a particular sauce of the chef's invention. These sauces and their ingredients are served in a glass to sip alongside the dish. Diners, however, can't simply enter and head straight to the table. A choreography team guides them first to the cellar to savour exquisite wine.

One course is served in the kitchen, and at another point, diners are invited into a 'secret' cheese cave adjacent to the dining room to select vintage plateware and their chosen cheeses. Top choices on the 7-course tasting menu include sardine served with a piquant green Eden sauce, plump langoustine with an airy sabayon, and turbot meuniere topped with caviar and served with shellfish, hazelnuts and potato, all surrounded by a fish broth sauce containing oysters. C'est merveilleux!
