Sensum

The interior of this eye-catching mansion on the outskirts of Ghent is more than a match for its magnificent exterior. The revamp, which has preserved the edifice’s period elegance and historic character, sports a wealth of luxurious contemporary details that are the height of tasteful. Chef Maurice and your hostess and sommelier, Deborah, celebrate life with their guests from start to finish courtesy of a fine dining experience and knockout wines. The chef goes out of his way to source outstanding ingredients with the occasional passing nod to his Zeeland roots. His extensive technical background means that he is at home with a wide range of culinary methods, unusual combinations and international flavours. For example, he might pair king crab with a gutsy beurre blanc of shellfish and a tangy lemon jelly or he may add a kick to scallops courtesy of a dashi of Texel lamb prepared with typical Moroccan spices. The chef has no limits and demonstrates a fondness for servings that are presented in small portions. Sensum lifts your spirits while embarking you on a genuine voyage of the senses.
