D’sens

SETTING

The hotel lifts bring you straight to the classy entrance of the restaurant. Inside, a stylish bar surrounded by a huge fish tank is at one end and tables with genuine leather chairs at the other. Diners enjoy a spectacular view of the city.

FOOD

D’Sens is under the direction of three-star Michelin French chefs Jacques and Laurent Pourcel. The set dinner menu at 2,900 baht offers good choices of D’Sens specials such as Brittany blue lobster terrine, roasted rack of lamb and bitter chocolate souffle. The a la carte menu offers an excellent selection of appetisers, fish, shellfish, meat and poultry choices, and a mouth-watering list of desserts. The menu includes recommendations of wines which can be ordered by the glass to go with each dish on offer. Mussel soup with saffron, parmesan crispy leaf and orange cream is perfect with a glass of sauvignon blanc from Chile, while the Beringer gewürztraminer from California brings out the full flavour of seared duck liver with tomatoes and citrus chutney. Highly recommended main courses are roasted Maine lobster with artichoke ravioli, pine nuts and crab foamy broth, and Challans duck breast with young spinach, roasted fig, black trumpets puree and red berries juice. For dessert, not to be missed is sensational lemon soft cake on citrus jelly.
