About

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 Les 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.

This is a very smart and sleek choice for corporate entertaining or high-end celebrations. The fresh greens of the dining room, the leather seating, perspex and shiny gold all work together to create a terrific space, while the private rooms do not swerve from the chic decor. Your guests will know they are someplace special. The international French cuisine, under the direction of chef Christopher Langree, features dishes like starter of seared tuna with marinated fennel, tomato, and orange-flavoured caramel, main of roast lamb cutlet with lamb samosa, tomato compote, and lamb juices with thyme and anis, and pudding of exotic fruits with assorted coulis and sorbets. Great staff and wines.
