The story
Perched on the foundations of an 11th-century Saracen tower in Tencin, La Tour des Sens is a destination that marries mountain serenity with culinary expression. Chef Jérémie Izarn extends a warm welcome to his universe, where the inspiration of the surrounding landscape meets a touch of playful creativity.
Recognized by the Michelin guide, the restaurant offers a gastronomic experience between Grenoble and Chambéry. The setting is as memorable as the food: a panoramic terrace with an unobstructed view of the Chartreuse massif, set within a verdant, tranquil property. The atmosphere is one of refined calm, where the team invites guests to close their eyes and be carried away by the moment.
While the menu evolves with the seasons and the chef’s inspiration, the philosophy is clear: a blend of local environment and “douce folie culinaire” – a gentle culinary madness. The cuisine here is rooted in the French gastronomic tradition, with a focus on fresh, high-quality ingredients. The restaurant’s tagline, “Bienvenue dans notre univers,” sets the tone for a personal, immersive dining experience.
For those seeking a memorable meal in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, La Tour des Sens provides a unique combination of history, nature, and Michelin-recognized gastronomy. The restaurant also offers air conditioning, outdoor seating, and is wheelchair accessible.
