Tier Achieved:
Clean. Reliable. Does the job.
The "lights out missionary" of food. Spotless kitchen, decent grub. Won't blow your mind, won't disappoint.
5dB Canteen is the place you think of when you want a casual lunch with friends, but don't get too carried away. The hype might lead you to believe it's one for the ages, but prepare yourself for a decent meal rather than an epiphany. The pasta is notably hit or miss; some love it while others feel like it’s a little too 'meh'.
The atmosphere is chill, and the staff are friendly, especially the waiter Luca who seems to charm everyone he encounters. Just be warned that both the noise level and the wait time can be a bit excessive. If you need a break from the busy city, this can be a solid option, but don’t come in thinking you’ll be blown away.
"Food was absolutely delicious, drinks also."
"Food was also nice, especially the pasta with beef."
"Food was fine but it didn’t live up to the hype."
