About the Space
Experience the Power of Human Connection and Creativity at Senses Human Bistro
Senses Human Bistro is more than just a restaurant; it is a space for human connection and creativity. Our bistro is located in the heart of the new UC San Diego Park & Market building and is designed to bring people together on a human level. We believe that art, culture, and cuisine have the power to connect people and inspire creativity and action. Our human-centered approach is based on the idea that meaningful conversations can lead to new ideas and initiatives, which is why we have created a space for artists, visionaries, and doers to come together and engage in inspiring conversations.
Similar to our sister restaurant, Bella Vista Social Club & Caffé, which has become the premier social hub for the bio-tech community on the Torrey Pines Mesa, Senses Human Bistro serves as the social hub for dreamers and doers in business, the arts, and bi-national collaborations. We invite all artists and activists to come together at our bistro and explore the power of human connection and creativity.
