The PERFECT Restaurant Experience - Plénitude (Cheval Blanc, Paris)

#Plénitude #ArnaudDonckele #3michelinstar

Welcome to Paris. Home of the Mona Lisa, the Eiffel Tower and our restaurant for today - Plénitude.
It opened in 2021 and was awarded 3 Michelin stars in it’s first year. The head chef is Arnaud Donckele. Crafting a menu that puts sauce in the spotlight is genius. In French cuisine, sauce plays a major role, but maybe not the attention it should. Chef Donckele gives it that attention.
I can honestly say my experience at Plenitude was perfect.

My name is Alexander. I’m the co-owner of a ONE Michelin star restaurant, and I’m on a mission - to find inspiration in gastronomy. I love fine dining, good wine and sharing what I know with other people.

It's amazing that you give ordinary people a glimpse to a life that they would probably never experience. Great job!

[whentheygo]

As a former chef's apprentice who got dissatisfied with the profession, your series of videos have rekindled a certain love for gastronomy in me that I had long lost. Thank you and please keep making videos. I would really enjoy an off-series about your own restaurant, not necessarily as a marketing point of view, but just stuff you'd like to showcase that you personally really enjoy!

Dude you are killing it! This channel will be huge.

[StoneColdSteveIrwin]

As you gain more and more subscribers, please stay true to your editing. Not having any of the crazy edits I see in most videos is a blessing. You focus on the food and the experience without showcasing yourself in odd ways throughout the video and its a very refreshing style.

I’m a retired chef 74 years old I have never seen such a very well made review please keep it up, thank you

[magixmaehwa]

Telling all my friends about your channel! Your content is unmatched, and in no time you will have the subscribers that this quality of videos deserves thank you for blessing us with this experience and showing us a life of food a lot of people never get to experience!

[vlindstrom]

I really like the "sauce centered" idea; this is what I always tell guests at my restaurant- I, and many others, can cook a piece of beef or duck beautifully, but what I cannot do is make a luxurious sauce, and this is a main part of any good restaurant experience. Sauce-making takes an enormous amount of time, labor, and understanding. Absolutely love your channel.

I just want to say that I really appreciate this channel. Unfortunately, culinary artworks are inaccessible to nearly everyone, but your channel provides a glimpse to the less fortunate of what the world's best chefs can create. There's a creativity and understanding of flavor in these dishes that is simply incredible, and it's a delight to learn about

I love the way Alex relives the pleasure of his meal when he recounts it for us. It very much feels like a special occasion.

[offensegaminghd]

Another banger Alex! This is one of my favorite channels to watch whenever you drop a new video. The in depth explanations are fantastic for those of us who have never had the pleasure of dining somewhere like this.

[tunneller]

Truly breathtaking. It's amazing to see food elevated to such a level, it fills me with emotion seeing this experience. Thank you for sharing!

[hydenshribby]

For the people in the comments saying that they're lucky they can get a glimpse of a life they themselves cannot afford through this channel: You can! I myself don't have a high paying job at all, but I save money for those kind of experiences. Sure, I can't do this on a regular basis like Alexander, but only once or twice a year. Nonetheless, it is very much worth it for me! I don't see it as going to a restaurant, but more like having a "mini holiday". It's all a question of priorities.

This is your best video yet and what a restaurant! The entire experience just looks incredible. The food, the wine, the chef's table and CHEESE CUPBOARD?!

The cheese looks incredible and the vintage plates are such a nice touch. What am incredible restaurant

[austinkuklinski]

This place looks absolutely incredible. It’s almost like magic when you see the food as well as the restaurant design as a whole.

[fhmconsulting]

What I am really starting to notice is the recognition you get from the staff and the head chef's. I think they have the same respect for you as you have for them. I dont know what the culinary version of a standing ovation is, but this episode deserves it.

[AsianExecutive]

I write this comment from a wintry Melbourne with such longing for the experience you so eloquently describe. “Does the perfect restaurant exist? I don’t know. But the perfect experience? Absolutely.” Watching your joyfully artful gastronomic critiques is my perfect experience. Rick

[genssX]

Wow. For both the restaurant and another top quality video. I'm impressed. Also, it lasts slightly longer with 12 minutes, but I felt super engaged throughout. Keep it up, I can't wait for the next one!

[rowfilmside]

Your video's have become my favorite weekly series in the shortest time! Your presenting skills are amazing and such good commentary with eye for detail! If you're ever visiting The Netherlands, I would come with you if I could :)

[owenjohnson]

They actually gave you the recipe, how amazing. So confident in their abilities

[robdielemans]

I love this content. Something sort of similar happened to me once at a small restaurant with a wine pairing where, in this case the owner, gave me a glass of an expensive wine (not 1000 Euros per bottle in your case but hundred-ish per bottle), I said something along the lines of he shouldn't have, he's too nice and he's losing money on the wine pairing. He then confided that he was already going to open the bottle to share with the staff when service was done and the thought I should have a glass as well.

There are a lot of passionate people working in restaurants and it is one of the reasons that going out to eat it is my favourite hobby.
