Alain Senderens, bored and tired of his pompous “Lucas Carton” restaurant, re-opened last September under the simple name Senderens. Gone are the gloomy waiters and stuffy atmosphere, in are the young, the hip, the stylish folk of Paris. Gone are the complex recipes, in are the more simple yet delicious dishes. Gone is the stuffy decor, in is the stylish new decor conceived by a top designer.

I ate at Senderens with my Paris Trip in September.  From the moment we arrived, it was a fabulous experience.  The restaurant is gorgeously decorated in greys and very light pinks.  It is a sleek look with leather banquettes.  We were seated immediately by a very smiling hostess.  Our waiters were equally as enjoyable.  The service was quick but careful, and we always felt like we were “honored guests”.

The menu will run you about 90 euros per person, without wine.  We each had a wonderful 3 course meal, and nobody left the table dissatisfied with the food or the service.  I would definitely recommend Senderens to anyone looking for a sublime Parisian restaurant without having to pay 3 or 4 times the price.
