"Fulgurances is a French restaurant concept with three locations—plus a magazine—in Paris. The first American outpost is in a former laundromat space on Franklin Street. It functions like an artist’s residency for chefs, inviting one at a time to serve a seasonal tasting menu of their own design. Dinner is $94, plus wine options, but if you’re interested in experiencing a chef incubator, make a reservation for an intimate, special-occasion meal." - bryan kim, neha talreja, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick
"Run by an owner who has tracked pandemic-driven shifts in dining habits, this restaurant adapted from later, tourist-heavy seatings to earlier service times: early slots that once struggled to fill are now in demand, with most reservations concentrated between about 7:00 and 8:30 p.m. The team also adopted digital point-of-sale tipping options to make leaving a tip easier for customers and to increase staff tips." - Catherine Down
"A Parisian hit has come to Brooklyn and built out a space in a former laundromat, Fulgurances hosts guest chefs for events that feel like a fancy dinner party. Currently, it’s former chef de cuisine at Claud, Nicholas Tamburo. Six courses is $89, with an optional $65 wine pairing." - Eater Staff
"Fulgurances Laundromat in Greenpoint sources their pawpaw from a forager in Pennsylvania." - Emma Orlow
"This cozy Greenpoint space inside an old laundromat (hence the name) features candlelit tables and spare furnishings, plus an open kitchen to watch the action. The twist? Instead of an in-house chef, it hosts a rotating residency of chefs from around the world, some of whom have previously held stints at their original Paris location, and each offers a pre-fixe menu for $85. Currently holding court in the kitchen is former chef de cuisine of Septime and Double Dragon in Paris, Antoine Villard." - devorahlevtov
