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.
We made reservations so that we can sit down & eat before a show next door. The place was full, & there was no place to sit. Not sure why we needed reservations.
Podría ser mejor en todo. Tiene la idea para una experiencia de 5 sentidos pero la música es sosa y la carta es muy extensa y es fácil perderse...En cuanto a la decoración se ve lindo en general pero en lo particular podrían poner más atención.

What a gem of a place! The menu is endless & as culturally diverse as the United Nations. 😂 There are almost as many food items as pokemons exist. Seriously though, it offers everything from tasty salad to crepes to Japanese curry to dumplings to shawarma to sandwiches & more. - Whatever you love, you'll likely find much of it here, & it will be *delicious*. 😋

Saw how beautiful the outside was of 5 senses & just had to check it out. I'm so glad I did, would definitely recommend getting an iced latte here! Everyone in there was very sweet as well!!
Ambiance géniale. Café moka & smoothie excellent. Pour la nourriture, c'est une belle présentation mais pour le déjeuner classique, on avait un oeuf coulant, l'autre dur. Température assez tiède voir froid. Bacon très froid. L'assiette bénédictine était belle mais une grosse déception en soit. Les oeuf étaient très très très froid. Aucune sauce hollandaise presente. Bacon très froid. Les patates sont très bonnes. Les fruits sont généreux & frais. Bon smoothie. Globalement, on est assez déçu on a pas fini nos assiettes.
What a pleasant surprise! The ambience is eclectic & cosy but bright. Loved the service! The food was delicious, wholesome & good portions. Wouldn't change a thing & would definitely come here again.
They have a lot of variety which can make a difficult to choose what you want to eat. I was very happy to see that they had many vegetarian options & quite a few vegan ones as well. the food was good it had mushrooms though mixed in & I didn't know that until I already had my plate so it was hard to get rid of them & I had to deal with eating the mushrooms unfortunately. The atmosphere is super cute, dainty vintage. It looks like they got a bunch of stuff from a bunch of different places & put them all in one place. They even have movie theatre seats & some places instead of chairs. The service was fast. the food was also good. It's a mix of a café & a restaurant you have to go & pick up your food from the counter when it's ready. overall cute place. I do recommend that you try it.
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
J'aurais donné cinq étoiles si la qualité gustative avait été à la hauteur de la beauté du décor. Cependant, j'ai constaté la présence de moucherons sur les brownies qui en plus de cela, n'étaient tout simplement pas bons. Je n'ai pas essayé le côté salé, mais en ce qui concerne les desserts sucrés, c'était une dépense inutile.
