“Fulgurances, Laundromat”, an incubator for rising chefsSince 2015, Fulgurances has been bringing rising culinary talent into the spotlight through its chef residency program in Paris, “Fulgurances, l’Adresse.” We are now bringing the same to Brooklyn, New York, at “Fulgurances, Laundromat”. The principle is simple: similar to an artist residency, we invite young chefs for a three to six-month residency program where they can spread their wings, define and refine their culinary identity, and express themselves in their name.

My husband had the beverage pairing, which was only $78. At first I had doubt because the price is too good but it ended up as such a pleasant experience. I’m pregnant so all I could do was sniff the aroma of each drink. It was overall 10/10!
We love the concept too, can wait to try more chef’s cuisine. I’ll make sure to always book chef’s counter too!
They have rotating chefs who always create their unique menus. We were lucky to get the amazing menu from Mirali Dibalzi. It were multiple courses of East European inspired dishes.
We also did the wine pairing, which were will presented and went well with the food.
Besides all the great food the staff was super friendly. We were lucky to get a counter seat. I highly recommend you to ask for one, since it gives you the chance to see your food prepared and a chat with the kitchen staff.
All over it was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend to go here.
The food? First, you will leave wanting more food – portions and pace are not well balanced, yet there’s a clear desired to explore. The fish got lost in the shuffle in the wide range of flavors. The dessert were unimaginative.
The cocktails? None of them had that alcohol oomf, and although the used uncommon ingredients, they didn’t shine through – it could almost feel that my friends can make equally or better drinks.
Overall, the ROI on this is low.
Let me start with the wine pairings because they deserve their own standing ovation. I’ve been fortunate to experience a lot of great food and wine in my life, but this was on a whole other level. The wine pairings were special, surprising, and perfectly harmonious with each dish. They didn’t just complement the food—they enhanced it, letting each flavor shine. One standout was a peppery red wine with rose notes that I cannot stop thinking about. I’ve been replaying it in my mind ever since and am determined to find it again.
Now onto the food, which was nothing short of divine. Chef Rasika’s tasting menu exceeded all my expectations, beautifully blending Indian flavors with refined, elevated techniques. We opted for the extended tasting menu with the supplemental chutney starter, and every single bite was exquisite. The courses included chana dal with persimmon chutney; scallop, bottle gourd, and Asian pear; idly with beetroot, pomegranate, and ruby grapefruit; ash gourd, ginger, black-eyed pea, and coconut stew; confit duck meatball with “mochi”; smoked duck “curry” with sweet potato, lavender, and pesarattu; rooahfza ice; and badam halwa tart with sunchoke and cardamom. These dishes were a masterclass in flavor, texture, and execution. Each course was a testament to Chef Rasika’s ability to showcase Indian cuisine in an elevated and inventive way while still delivering the bold, nostalgic flavors that brought me back to my childhood.
The highlight of the evening was the chance to meet Chef Rasika herself. She was kind, humble, and personable, and her passion for her craft shone through in every dish. Her residency at Fulgrances lasts for three months, and as the menu evolves, we are already planning our return visit to see what she creates next. Beyond that, we are incredibly excited to visit Mythily, Chef Rasika’s own restaurant, which promises to be a stunning ode to Indian culture presented in a new and innovative light.
Fulgrances Laundromat delivered a dining experience that went beyond just food—it was a celebration of flavor, creativity, and hospitality. The meal was a perfect 10 out of 10, the wine pairings were a mind-blowing 20 out of 10, and the service was impeccable.
If you’re a food lover or simply looking for an unforgettable dining experience, don’t walk—run to Fulgrances Laundromat to experience Chef Rasika Venkatesa’s residency. And once her tenure ends, you can bet we’ll be back to see what other brilliant chefs take the stage at this incredible spot.
Top 3 octopus I’ve ever had. So tender and delicious.. was cooked perfectly in my opinion. The crab was so fresh and flavorful. The corn pudding with red bean mochi wow wow. The lamb was melt in your mouth (also top 3 lamb dishes I’ve ever had probably) tofu with mushroom.. simple yet bursting with flavor !!!!
Portions are a little too small (despite the price) I didn’t walk away feeling full at all
The food was spectacular and highly recommend visiting before chef mayol leaves end of June. Wines were perfect and the service was exceptional. Menu highlights for us were the hake in smoked milk foam, duck entree and beautiful accoutrements, and the white asparagus ice cream dessert.
My wife is very pregnant and they were able to make substitutions for her easily enough. I wasn’t sure about this when reading reviews so know that they are really good about meeting dietary restrictions.
