    Excellent food with fantastic flavours, drinks were perfect ( highly recommend the gin sour cocktail) and service was immaculate. A very special find

    The food is excellent. The chef incorporates unusual texture combinations into each dish - everything I had featured something soft and something crispy or crunchy. It made each plate into a surprising and delightful experience. Clean yet cosy interior design choices. The earthenware is quirky but elegant. Every detail in the restaurant breathes the owners' vision. I thought the bathroom was especially lovely, down to the unconventionally scented soap. I tried the "devilish egg", which was reminiscent of a deviled egg, but creamier and with multiple flavour profiles. It was sprinkled with something crunchy, I couldn't pinpoint what it was but it was tasty and fun to eat. I also tried a bit of the calamari starter - the squid was perfectly tender, the batter crispy. Then I had the palourdes, a type of small bivalve. They were well-prepared, and came with a crunchy thyme preparation and a royal serving of delicate fish eggs. I love fish eggs so I was delighted when I received my plate. My main was the sea bass. It stood out to me the least of all the dishes I tried. This is not to say it wasn't good, I have no negative remarks. The fish was buttery and flakey. To finish, I had the "chocolate, vanilla, banana, peanut" dessert, and oh my gosh. The dessert menu tends to be an uninspired afterthought in most Belgian restaurants - this is not the case at all in Één Twee Vijf. This section of the menu might even be where the chef shines the most. Peanut and even banana is a pretty rare addition to dessert menus here, and I don't know why, because the flavour and texture combinations lifted this dish to the next level. Salty, crunchy, soft, creamy. I loved every bite, and would go back just to have this dish again. Truly inspired. Go there with your significant other or a group of friends, and be charmed by the wonderfully offbeat atmosphere.

    Enjoyable evening. Very friendly staff. The crabcake was delicious as well for the cauliflower and the fish. Tip: we ordered these as main courses separated, but they are a great combination to share!

    I had a great dinner while staying at a hotel nearby. Short menu but tasty and a calm environment. The service was great and there are many wine options.

    We had a great evening @een twee vijf. Small menu, very delicious food and drinks, and most importantly, wonderful service. All that in a cozy and relaxed atmosphere. A must visit.

  • 3/5 Evrim A. 1 year ago on Google
    The reason being the location. If you are a tourist, this is 20 mins walking to the centre. The food is not traditional, modern food with good ingredients, 4 or 5 star worthy, excellent cod dish with reasonably good starters, but nothing as interesting to walk this way and back.

👍 Well maintained sports bar with so many activities. A bit challenging to locate for a first timer. Great atmosphere but 4 stars because the food was a bit disappointing. Burger could do with some seasoning.

👍👍 « Luxury fries 🍟 » and well it is quite expensive. But I’d say it is worth it at least once. It is the price for exceptional fries 😉. The fries were absolutely delicious, and well cooked. They ask you to choose 2 homemade sauces. I took the béarnaise and 🤤. The chicken chunks were natural and tas...
