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.
Food is better than average in the city Some dishes are overspiced, like the new curry vegan salad Bounty roll is not edible & chewable Pirogies are from a shop, not so good Champignon soup is good

Nice cozy spot, went for a little coffee & sweet break but the place had lots of options food wise. From main dishes to panini & crepes, mixed type of cuisine but they looked pretty good, will stop again for a lunch or dinner next time.
J'ai visité ce restaurant le lundi 21 octobre, & j'en garde un très bon souvenir. J'ai apprécié la diversité des plats proposés. La nourriture était non seulement délicieuse, mais aussi servie en portions généreuses. Mention spéciale pour le décor intérieur, que j'ai trouvé vraiment charmant & accueillant. Je recommande vivement ce restaurant !
Super belle ambiance dans ce petit café. Le personnel est gentil, le café & les boissons sont bonnes. Point négatif au niveau du service qui est, il me semble, vraiment trop long pour ce que c'est.

Un choix énorme sur la carte n'est jamais bon signe, & là ça n'a pas raté. C'était juste correct sans plus. Ne cherchez pas des saveurs très poussées.. Service inexistant. Tu payes au comptoir, on te donne un bipper pour aller chercher ta bouffe. Tu vas chercher ta bouffe. Voici ta seule interaction. La déco a un style particulier, tu aimes ou tu aimes pas, mais bon, je viens dans un resto plus pour la bouffe que la déco !
Un petit resto-café fort charmant. Le panini Bosch est délicieux, tandis que la salade maison du "trio" n'était rien de spécial (plus de vinaigrette l'aurait aidée un peu). Gentille serveuses.

I wanted to love this place - the atmosphere is really warm, the decor is quirky. I ordered the yogurt bowl mainly because it came with matcha ganache (& I love matcha). However, it came out as a bowl of enough yogurt to fill a large tub, a thin layer of granola on one side, some slices of banana & a few raspberries. I asked the staff where the matcha & coulis was & they all seemed a little confused, even when I showed them the photo of their menu. One girl put some blueberry coulis on it, which I was thankful for, but it was still pretty disappointing...
Très bon Stroganoff aux champignons vegan😋 & chai latte une belle ambiance artistique & friendly au centre-ville. Pas commercial & sympathique. Pas trop cher non plus.

The atmosphere is great. This place used to be a butcher's & it still has the old tilework from that time. It's very cool & eclectic, & interesting. A lot of plant life also Had the salmon bennies & a latte. Very very good food. In my top 5 food experiences of all time I would say
Nice restaurant that offers lots of different meal options. The staff are very friendly & helpful. The music was loud & made it difficult to have a relaxed conversation.
