Silvery SENS

Jacques and Laurent Pourcel are Michelin-starred chefs (and brothers) who made a name for themselves with the venerable Maison Blanche in the heart of the couture scene on Boulevard Montaigne. Their latest restaurant, SENS, is located near the Champs Elysées and rue du Fauborg Saint-Honoré, also popular upscale shopping areas, so it seems the formula of fine dining and fashion is successful.

Sens is a glittery silver cave with a décor you might call minimalist disco. The cuisine is global, with a nod to the French-Indian connection. I only had the tomato-buffalo mozzarella starter and dessert, as the entrée was a cod fish cake that isn’t one of my favorite dishes. I liked the presentation of the cherry tomatoes on the vine, and dessert was a duo of strawberry-raspberry mouse and ice cream with fresh fruit. (23 rue de Ponthieu)
