Reviews for 5 Senses depict a visually striking, quirky space with artful decor and a welcoming vibe that many visitors find worth the trip for atmosphere and brunch, though experiences are highly variable. The food ranges from excellent and flavorful to disappointing and overpriced, with some dishes such as the Van Gogh panini and certain crepes receiving praise while others fall flat or feel generic. Service is described as friendly and attentive by some, but slow, distracted, or inconsistent by others, particularly after ownership changes that some say have dulled the former flair and energy. The interior and ambiance are repeatedly highlighted as a draw, making it a destination for local color and socializing, yet several reviews note long waits, mismatched portion sizes, or prices that do not always align with quality. Taken together, 5 Senses delivers memorable decor and variety, but consistency and value appear uneven across visits.
I was surprised to see this place, because I had probably passed it maybe a thousand times. Their panini (Van Gogh) are delicious. It's a lovely environment full of art & decorations. Workers are kind, & I totally recommend it.
Second visit* Disappointed with my experience, Van Gogh panino was small & it was 17$, the taste was not the same as before.
I've been here on the Ukraine's Independence Day 2025 & it's actually a magical place. The atmosphere is unbeatable, there is so many decorations, big choice from all around the world 🌎🫶 I highly recommend to visit - for sure will come back :)
& the prices were casual for such a place!!
The coffee is good
The smoothies are made of actual fruits (I think)
The deco is cuuuuteeee but me & my friends felt like we were in a simulation. All NPC. All decoration is props
The service took forever & we were alone in the shop with them.
Asked for a chai latte & barista was confused ash
Went in the back for so long. we don't know what there is… Magic tricks?✨💫
J'ai essayé leur matcha à la fraise & c'était bien mieux que le dernier que j'ai eu, mais pas à mon goût je dirais. Leurs brownies sont une tuerie & je leur donne un 5/5. J'ai aussi pris un chocolat chaud, mais c'était du chocolat chaud typiquement industriel je dirais : léger, sans la richesse du chocolat, mais le goût y était. J'adore l'ambiance & les 2 filles qui m'ont servi sont des amours. La décoration est absolument splendide.
Love their antique decorations that evoke my Eastern European childhood! The atmosphere is warm, a little chaotic, & wonderfully homey.
Big support for the amazing family that owns this place. Their appreciation for the arts & encouragement of social interactions through entertaining family & friend group activities make this spot truly special.

Restaurant qui ne paie pas de mine de l'extérieur mais très sympathique à l'intérieur. Serveuse très gentille. Bonne cuisine, fait maison. Les prix sont abordables. La décoration est super mignonne.
A recent discovery by chance. What a selection of food. Very international & great ambience. From decoration to the tables. Friendly service. On top of it , it's open until midnight.
Le restaurant-bar 5 Senses est une véritable découverte. La décoration, bien que très étrange, est fascinante & ajoute une touche unique à l'ambiance. L'endroit est très cosy, vous donnant l'impression d'être chez vous dès que vous passez la porte. Côté cuisine, c'est un régal ! Le menu offre aussi une belle variété d'options végétariennes & véganes, toutes aussi savoureuses les unes que les autres. Les desserts, quant à eux, sont un pur délice & méritent absolument d'être essayés. Se vous êtes à la recherche d'un endroit chaleureux pour déguster de bons plats, le 5 Senses est un incontournable.

A place with relaxing & casual attitude ... layback & sort of random decorations. Foods are pretty good in general, you go order food, wait to get buzz to pick up. Self serve model, but sometimes they also bring food to you when it's not too busy. Ordered Tuna Poke & a few other items for a group of four. I'd say that it would be helpful if they use a bigger bowl for the Tuna Poke cuz it's a bit too small & there is no way to stir & mix them along with the sauce or half of the bowl will be out, no matter how careful you are. Other than that food is actually good.
En face du marché de Noël, la vitrine de ce lieu a attrapé mon regard. Une fois dedans, la décoration atypique, une recette d'objets multiculturels mèlant modertinité & tradition, qui font danser les lumières des guirlandes en les reflétants dans tous les sens. L'expérience des toilettes est une insertion sonore & visuelle dans la jungle qui adoucis la tâche. Par contre j'ai attendu un peu de temps mais c tranquille la serveuse était turbo belle, merci ciao
