Een Twee Vijf in Gent: Precise Bistro Cooking & Le Fooding Recognition

The chef and the kitchen

Tomek Mroszczak leads the bistro kitchen at Een Twee Vijf in Gent following his tenure at Ganzerik and partnerships with Lieven Cobbaut. He builds menus around accessible ingredients handled with disciplined technique. The approach favors clear flavor layers over theatrical presentation.

Dishes and flavor profiles

Meals often start with deeply flavored pork cheek croquettes coated in panko and dipped in tangy beet ketchup. Subsequent plates highlight braised lamb shoulder resting beside green cabbage and fresh beans in a rich Thai peanut sauce. Desserts conclude the service with a vanilla mascarpone mousse containing a warm dulce de leche core and crunchy cookie crumbs.

Room and atmosphere

The dining area sits inside an ultra symmetrical structure marked by bright whitewashed walls and clean architectural lines. Patrons gather along a long dark wood bar or settle into classic bistro chairs arranged for steady conversation. Critics highlighted this uncluttered environment when adding the venue to their latest guide.
