Lunch differently in Roissy: why choose a buffet?

There are lunches we rush through. And then there are those we truly take the time to enjoy.

Close to Paris CDG, Paris Nord 2, Villepinte and the area’s major business hubs, lunch often has to meet several expectations: it should be simple, quick, accessible, comfortable, suited to different profiles and high-quality enough for entertaining a client, meeting colleagues or sharing a moment with family.

This is precisely where the buffet format comes into its own.

At Plume, dining is all about freedom. The restaurant welcomes travellers, hotel guests, Roissy residents, local professionals and visitors passing through in a warm, generous setting open to everyone.

The freedom to compose your own plate

Choosing a buffet is first and foremost about freedom. The freedom to opt for a light starter or a more generous dish. The freedom to vary flavours, textures and inspirations. The freedom to taste a little of everything, or return to what you enjoy most. And also the freedom not to impose the same pace on everyone at the table.

This flexibility is particularly valuable at lunchtime. Some guests want to eat quickly before a meeting. Others prefer to take their time. Some are looking for a balanced plate, while others want a more indulgent break. With a buffet, everyone creates their own moment.

At Plume, this freedom is part of the experience. You choose according to your appetite, let yourself be tempted, discover and share. It is the very spirit of its signature: the surprise is on the table.

An ideal format for lunching together

A buffet is also particularly well suited to group meals.

When lunching with colleagues, clients, partners or loved ones, expectations are never exactly the same. A buffet allows everyone to gather around the same table without making the experience too rigid.

It is a simple, fluid and naturally convivial format. You get up, choose, talk and return to the table. The meal becomes less formal than traditional table service while remaining comfortable and high-quality. It encourages conversation, relaxed breaks and shared moments.

For lunch with colleagues, it is a practical solution. For a business meeting, it is a more flexible alternative. For a family or visitors passing through, it is an enjoyable way to have lunch without multiplying complicated choices.

Plume is perfectly suited to these varied occasions: lunch with colleagues, a break before an appointment, a family meal, a moment with friends or a gourmet stop before getting back on the road.

Speed, comfort and a genuine break at the table

In Roissy, speed matters. But that does not have to mean an impersonal meal.

The advantage of a buffet is that you can manage your own time. You can enjoy an efficient lunch without waiting a long time between courses. But you can also extend the moment, have another coffee, continue a conversation or simply give yourself a real pause during the day.

Plume offers a lunch buffet from €22, excluding Sunday brunch. On Sundays, the restaurant changes pace with brunch served from 12 noon to 3 pm, designed for guests who want to take a little more time.

This twofold approach is particularly appealing: during the week, the buffet fits naturally into professional routines and lunch breaks; on Sundays, brunch turns the hotel into a more local, family-friendly and relaxed destination.

In both cases, the idea remains the same: to make time at the table simple, generous and enjoyable.

An address open to everyone

One point is worth highlighting: Plume is not reserved for guests staying at the hotel.

You can come for lunch without staying overnight, simply to enjoy an accessible, convivial and comfortable buffet close to Roissy, Paris Nord 2 and Paris CDG. The restaurant is aimed just as much at local professionals as at families, travellers and visitors passing through.

Another practical advantage: meal voucher cards are accepted, excluding alcohol and Sundays. Plume can also welcome groups, with private-hire options available.

This versatility makes the buffet a very contemporary format. It responds to more mobile, faster lifestyles, while also meeting a strong desire for conviviality. Guests want to be able to choose, but also to come together. To eat quickly, but well. To feel free, but welcomed.

At Van der Valk Hotel Paris CDG Airport, Plume offers a different way to enjoy lunch: a table open to everyone, with fresh and generous cuisine.
