"We created this restaurant in the same way we create our dishes, firstly in our imagination. We wanted a garden, we wanted to celebrate the five senses."
Extract from the book 'Cuisine en duo', by Jacques and Laurent Pourcel - Hachette Publishing - 1999
A glass cube in a Mediterranean-scented garden. The setting is light, designed in an amphitheatre, with ample spacing between the tables, high ceilings, and opening out onto the garden and the water feature, where contemporary art blends with innovative cuisine created by the duo. A southern feel in an « urban/chic » environment created by twins Jacques & Laurent Pourcel, the Michelin chefs and arousers of senses.
Inside, outside, beneath the sun or the moon... here, the luxury is the space, with its natural light, and the changing foliage as the seasons go by. Time stands still, just long enough to enjoy a meal... Arousing the senses, discovering the essentials in life.
Modern yet comfortable, this timeless setting, amazing in its concept and design, is located on the edge of town, hand for access to the town centre.
Menus are all « signed » Jacques & Laurent Pourcel. Their cuisine reflects their personalities and expertise, always using local ingredients and demonstrating originality, it is creative and innovative yet in many ways traditional.
They are wildly enthusiastic about the food and flavours from the south of France, the Languedoc and the Mediterranean. For Jacques and Laurent, two words crop up constantly: « simplicity » and « ingredient ».
For the past twenty years since they opened in Montpellier, they have been travelling the length and breadth of the region looking for the best producers, small growers, fishermen and meat producers in order to use only the very best produce.
Far from typical fashions, their fine food, sometimes verging on the extravagant, plays with contrasts: sweet and savoury, bitter and sweet, hot and cold, crispy and melting.
Colourful, tasty and delicious, the fine food at Le Jardin des Sens is an ode to the five senses, about which the Pourcel twins are so passionate.
Please note that the menu will be renewed regularly. However, it is possible certain dishes available on the day of your reservation may differ from the menu on line, according to the ingredients of the season.
