Cinc Sentits

Frommer's Review

Cinc Sentits is a relatively new kid on the block, but that hasn't stopped it from making waves in culinary circles. Chef Jordi Artal spent most of his life in Canada before coming back to his roots to open this cutting-edge eatery that aims to appease the cinc sentits (five senses). He recommends the "Gourmet" tasting menu this way: "When you sit down to eat and are presented with a big plate of food, the first bite is great, the second is good, but by the time you get to the fifth or sixth, your palate is bored and you have lost interest." You might eat a crème fraîche or caviar soup here. Artal's cuisine is a combination of Catalan culinary know-how and New World wit. An everyday white garlic soup is graced with pan-seared lobster, a monkfish sprinkled with bacon "dust," or a soft poached egg with tomato jam. Cinc Sentits is an example of what fusion food can be like with a combination of the finest ingredients and intelligence.
