Sensing Opens at the Fairmont Battery Wharf in the North End

French chef Guy Martin has officially opened his first restaurant in the United States, and it is located right here in the North End of Boston. Sensing, which is a restaurant within a new hotel called the Fairmont Battery Wharf, opened its doors earlier this week, and will be based on Sensing in Paris, according to the hotel Web site.

Guy Martin, who is perhaps of the top chefs in France and has received three stars by The Michelin Guide in 2000, will be bringing a seasonally changing menu to the restaurant. Items currently on the menu include duck foie gras creme brulee and king crab in grapefruit jelly.

Sensing (and the Fairmont Battery Wharf) is located at Three Battery Wharf in the North End of Boston (just off Commercial Street near the Hanover Street intersection). The phone number for the hotel is (617) 994-9000, and the Web site for the restaurant is at http://www.fairmont.com/batterywharf/GuestServices/Restaurants/Sensing.htm.
