MEET JB CARACTERE
A Culinary Journey
JB Caractere began almost two decades ago with Chef Julien Beuriot and his passion for creating food with character. Rooted in his French culinary heritage and shaped by years of working, travelling and cooking across different cultures, JB Caractere evolved through restaurants, kitchens, private dining, menu development and culinary consultancy. Over the years, the philosophy remained simple: respect the ingredients, bring personality to the plate and never lose the pleasure of eating. But food — like people — evolves. Today, JB Caractere enters a new chapter.
From this culinary foundation, Julien and Dr Fenia Gianni have created Cinq Sens - bringing Julien’s world of food together with Fenia’s Greek-British background in theatre, behavioural science, mindful eating and wellbeing. The result expands JB Caractere beyond the plate. Food meets theatre. Taste meets memory. Science meets creativity. The table becomes a place for storytelling, experimentation and human connection. Through Cinq Sens, and its Food & Art Lab and The Petit Salons, we are exploring how food can engage all five senses and become part of a much bigger narrative.
JB Caractere is where the food began. Cinq Sens is where the story continues.
What we do
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.
Chef Julien creates bespoke menus for private parties, celebrations, intimate dinners and culinary events, combining French culinary heritage with Mediterranean and international influences.
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.
Mindful Eating
Led by Dr Fenia Gianni, mindful eating sessions explore taste, hunger, fullness, pleasure, emotion and our relationship with food through evidence-informed mindfulness approaches.
Our collection of intimate theatrical and sensory food experiences. An opportunity to 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.
Mindful Cooking & Eating
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.
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.
