Essence des Sens - Vence

Natasha is incredible! Solo owner, chef and waitress. Thank you for the fantastic experience we have had whilst visiting France!

We chanced across this restaurant and I was attracted to the idea of the use of seasonal vegetables. Since we were visiting in December, I wasn't sure how this would work. My husband and I both had the surprise menu, and the common ingredient was a sweet potato. I did not actually know that I liked sweet potatoes, but after that heavenly meal, I am definitely a fan (at least in that restaurant). Overall, the food was outstanding and since it was a slow night, we had a chance to talk to the owner, which we enjoyed almost as much as the food. I don't know when I'll be back to Vence, but I am now looking for reasons to be in the area.

Small warm restaurant or the boss is on all fronts but does it very well! a adviser if you are looking for a homemade kitchen with fresh products!

Little dinner in love with my fiancé. It's been a long time since I had not eaten a duck magret so good, honey sauce is just divine. little choice but fresh and quality products. You're a brave man.

We had had this restaurant recommended to us back in New Zealand before we came and were very happy to hear about it and get the opportunity to try it out last week.The host is very kind and speaks very good English. We decided to try the surprise menu and were treated to an imaginative range of dishes for entree, main and dessert that all used plums as they are in season at the moment. The entree was a fish dish, the main a chicken dish with greengages that was sweet and delicious and a plum and sage tart for dessert with ice cream. Everything tasted fresh and made with love and imagination.We highly recommend you try this restaurant out when you are in Vence. It is just outside the old medieval wall and has a lovely view of the Baou from its window or outside seating area.
