About W’Sens

No, we’re not sure how you pronounce it either, but we do know that is stands for sleek Eurostyle, spiffy waitstaff, and superb food from the stable of the Pourcel brothers, chef-proprietors of the very starry Le Jardin des Sens in Montpelier. First, style. You mount a baroque staircase to a mezzanine-level dining room done in fresh shades of green with hundreds of chic details. Then, the food. The cuisine is high-achieving French with international influences. Try starter of star anise and carrot soup with herb ricotta and sesame seed fritters, main of roast duck fillet with parmentier of foie gras, baby spinach and orange wine, and pud of crispy banana brulee with passion fruit mousse. Destination dining.
