My partner and I were finally able to acquire seats at the Intensus dining table. The chef Olivier oozes his deep passion for cooking throughout the evening. Each dish is carefully and creatively crafted, leaving the guests pleasantly surprised and intrigued. He uses quality products...and innovative techniques to elevate each dish. He is very generous in the number of courses (skip lunch on the day you are going!) and takes time to interact with the guests, explaining various aspects of the dishes.
There is a very elaborate, well sought wine pairing to go with each dish. Note, I was pregnant during this experience and they went out of their way to pair my dishes with interesting drinks: some of which I didn't know existed, so I had a lovely experience as well. From what I could tell, the wine selection for the dinner was impeccable.
Olivier's wife Katie, hosts the dinner and has a seat at the table, giving her the chance to interact with the guests throughout the evening. She is very professional, yet lovely and entertaining. She makes everyone feel at ease instantly. E.G, upon arrival, she knew everyone's name and could match them to our faces. Not only is she a fantastic host, but she is also very knowledgable about all the courses.
The experience lasts a good number of hours, so be prepared for the ride! The decor and service is of very high standard and the location is only revealed 24h prior to the event.
Although expensive, it is worth every penny and we definitely plan on returning after the baby is born.
Thanks for the unforgettable evening and hopefully, we will get regular alerts from now onMore
