Silviu Atanasie

Silviu Atanasie is a chef and the founder of SENS, a restaurant shaped by his personal approach to cooking. Inspired by nature and the alchemy of flavor, he brings instinct and craftsmanship together in dishes that express emotion, heritage, and a genuine appreciation of taste. SENS presents an author-led culinary experience rooted in balance, simplicity, and a passion for essential beauty, and invites guests to reserve a table.

The brand also features an Atelier and “Note de gust,” an editorial space exploring the ideas and memories behind food. Its topics include the philosophy of taste, roots and recollections, the senses and natural elements, and the reinterpretation of tradition. Articles highlight seasonal menus, familiar flavors, slow fermentation, and the creative role of cooking. Together, the restaurant, culinary workshop, and writing offer a considered view of food as craft, expression, and connection to memory. At its heart, SENS reflects Atanasie’s vision of cooking with soul, bringing care and clarity to both the food and the experience around it.
