What we do
                  Our Services

 

At JB Caractere and Cinq Sens, food begins with delicious cooking. But it doesn’t end there.

 

We cook, cater, create menus and recipes, develop restaurant concepts and design experiences that invite people to slow down, explore, sense and truly enjoy food.​

 

Our approach brings together food, creativity and the senses — whether we’re creating an intimate dinner, designing a special event, developing a new menu or exploring food through art and experience. Each project is personal, thoughtful and shaped around the people, place and occasion.

Catering Plating Detail

Chef Julien creates bespoke menus for private parties, celebrations, intimate dinners and culinary events, combining French culinary heritage with Mediterranean and international influences.

Chocolate Making Process

The experimental and collaborative arm of Cinq Sens. We work with artists, theatres, galleries, festivals, musicians, performers, designers, organisations and venues to create original experiences where food becomes part of the artwork — from immersive dinners and performances to sensory installations and new forms that may not yet have a name.

Led by Dr Fenia Gianni, mindful eating sessions explore taste, hunger, fullness, pleasure, emotion and our relationship with food through evidence-informed mindfulness approaches. 

Wine and Cheese

Our collection of intimate theatrical and sensory food experiences. An opportunity to meet, connect, share and network with like-minded people while eating elegant food.

 

Each Petit Salon creates a different world around the table through food, storytelling, atmosphere and the five senses. Guests enter the narrative and become part of the experience.

Cooking Preparation Scene

Julien and Fenia bring their two worlds together in sensory sessions where preparing, cooking and tasting food become part of the experience. You don’t simply learn a recipe — you experience it.

Restaurant Table Setting

From new restaurant concepts to existing businesses looking for a fresh direction, Julien offers consultancy covering menu and recipe development, kitchen planning and workflow, equipment, staffing and the practical organisation of a professional kitchen.
