Terrace, Private Events available
Just a stone’s throw from the Arboretum in the green Kalmthout, Leena Van Loon and Yves Foré opened their restaurant Sensi in June 2021.
That’s already a perfect reason to head to this picturesque village, widely known for its natural beauty. The “Ibiza” casual no-nonsense setting of the covered and heated terrace, the additional summer drink terrace, and the inviting garden ensure that you get a wonderful vacation vibe here all year round.
Chef Yves is one of those chefs who takes pride in using fresh, honest products to create pure dishes with a funky twist.
The menu makes you want to try everything. You can start with some apero bites alongside a cocktail or a fun aperitif. The Iberico croquettes and the brioche stuffed with lobster and fresh salsa immediately catch the eye.
For the starters (2 share or not), we are delighted with a dish featuring marrow bones with beef tartare, red onion, and confit garlic, or a creation of grilled octopus, sweet potato cream, and piment de la vera. The Rib-Eye that followed was perhaps one of the best we’ve ever had. If you’re more in the mood for sea bass in a salt crust… all winners.
Leena, whom you may recognize as one of the stars of the TV show “First Dates,” is one of those rare restaurant managers who combines charm and friendliness with efficiency.
Another success factor at Sensi is the wine list. The collaboration with Vinetiq, among others, offers a very original selection of “cool climate” wines.
Got something to celebrate? Sensi is your ideal party spot for private events.
With quality on the plate, an informal atmosphere, and accessible prices, Leena & Yves perfectly meet what today’s guests are looking for.
