Just a stone’s throw from the Arboretum in the green Kalmthout, Leena Van Loon and Yves For\u00e9 opened their restaurant Sensi in June 2021.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Chef Yves is one of those chefs who takes pride in using fresh, honest products to create pure dishes with a funky twist.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Another success factor at Sensi is the wine list. The collaboration with Vinetiq, among others, offers a very original selection of “cool climate” wines.<\/p>\n
Got something to celebrate? Sensi is your ideal party spot for private events.<\/p>\n
With quality on the plate, an informal atmosphere, and accessible prices, Leena & Yves perfectly meet what today’s guests are looking for.<\/p>\n
