The restaurant is all about show, not about good food or taste.

I would have given it 3 stars for the venue and for attempting something new, although it was the worst Michelin-starred experience I’ve ever had. That was until the “chef” of the restaurant was incredibly rude and even acted difficult when I tried to leave to catch my Uber.

Get your ego in check.

We had a super positive experience at Menssa, the food was exquisite, tasteful and beautifully presented, the concept of open kitchen and eating at the bar is genius, it totally changes your experience of gourmet restaurants, it's like an amusement show: We could see all the activities happening in preparing the dishes, and the chef Christophe Hardiquest was there in action, engaging with all clients in a very nice and friendly way. We haven't seen any chef at this level of professionalism as humble as Christophe. And this stood out to us! I think we can confidently say that it was one of the best restaurant experiences we had in Brussels, and it certainly deserves michelin stars ⭐⭐⭐.

From concept to execution. Nothing is wasted. The kitchen to table concept is fun and intimate also creates a relationship between those eating and those cooking. The menu is picked by the kitchen using the earth, water & fire idea there are choices but really you let the kitchen guide your palate on an experience that does not disappoint. Side note I discovered something at Menssa I didn’t know was allowed, A pre-dessert, Genius! Thank you Team Menssa.

The Food, Wine and Atmosphere were outstanding. The design of the Kitchen/Restaurant enabled the chef to greet each of the guests along his incredible walnut table on the weeknight we were there. Better food and wine served here than other 3-star Michelin restaurants I have visited.
