The Michelin Guide has awarded three stars to French chef Arnaud Donckele, chef of Plénitude restaurant at the LVMH-owned Cheval Blanc Paris. This prestigious recognition marks Chef Donckele's sixth star, following his recognition of Vague d'Or restaurant at Cheval Blanc Saint-Tropez, the hotel's sister hotel in the south of France, which was awarded three stars in 2013.
Plénitude restaurant at Cheval Blanc Paris
Facing the Seine, Plénitude seats 26 and is a hidden space located on the second floor of the Cheval Blanc Paris. Chef Arnaud Donkel creates sauces that embody Parisian cuisine as if blending them. He treats them like a perfumer, offering dishes in which the sauce is the main focus, not a supporting role. Chef Donkel has been pursuing his unique Parisian cuisine for over three years, and he says the infinite possibilities he discovers are born from his encounters and relationships of trust with farmers and teams who share his philosophy of perfection. His dishes, created with honesty and heart, are imbued with a desire to guide guests to discover a variety of emotions. Arnaud Donkel hopes that Plénitude will be a place that serves honest and happy cuisine.

"I would like to congratulate Arnaud Doncker on achieving the remarkable feat of earning three Michelin stars in the shortest possible time, since the opening of Plénitude at Cheval Blanc Paris in September 2021.

As with our restaurant in Saint-Tropez, we salute the Michelin Guide for awarding him the highest rating." "
"We are extremely proud and grateful for this Michelin Guide recognition. We believe it is a tribute to Arnaud's many years of hard work and the high quality of his cuisine. He is like a genius alchemist who invites us on a journey of emotion and poetry. He evolves each dish every day, surprising us every day and allowing us to embark on a unique culinary journey," adds Olivier Lefebvre, President of the Cheval Blanc Hotel Group.
"I am truly grateful to the Michelin Guide for recognizing the work of my entire team. I believe this recognition is a response to the sensitivity I strive to convey through my cuisine. Each dish is my own expression, and I put my desire to create dishes that will remain in the memories of my guests into it. I am extremely grateful to my team, as well as to Bernard Arnault and Olivier Lefebvre, for their trust in us," commented Donkel, a chef with a brimming curiosity and keen eye for even the most subtle details, who conveys emotion through his cooking and shares the know-how worthy of three-star cuisine.
