Très déçue. Ce restaurant n’est pas à la hauteur. À éviter. Manque de cohérence, et le chef manque d’humilité. Le vrai chef n'est jamais dans la cuisine. Ils misent tout sur l'esthétique et ce n'est même pas si beau que ça.

À prix égal, j'avais passé la meilleure expérience culinaire de ma vie à Bozar (où on y reconnait du génie, esthétique et de la passion) VS à Menssa, j'y ai passé pour l'instant ma pire expérience étoilée.

Les plats n’ont aucun sens ; les saveurs ne vont tout simplement pas ensemble. Bien que les ingrédients soient manifestement de bonne qualité, pour oser briser les codes de la gastronomie, il faut une technique irréprochable et, surtout, du goût. Certaines combinaisons ne devraient jamais exister, ils ont associé de la vanille à une langoustine par exemple. Tout les plats étaient fait de manière aléatoire. C'est quoi donc... de l'art abstrait ? C'est juste faire preuve de mauvais goût, et d'ailleurs, le goût lui-même est mauvais aussi (selon mes papilles gustatives).

Joli décor, il faut l'avouer.

Des remarques? J’en ai encore plein. Le personnel n’est pas accueillant, le sommelier récite difficilement son texte comme s’il essayait de s’en souvenir, nous avons dû débarrasser notre propre table, les couteaux étaient inadaptés, l’équipe mal formée, les "serveurs" traitent mieux la clientèle qui parle français, la langoustine mal décortiqué (j'ai dû recracher des morceaux, très chic). Le pairing sans alcool se limitait à des infusions basiques et sans grand goût, ça avait le goût de l'eau à 99%. J'espérais des mocktails et des jus.

Et surtout, le rapport qualité-prix est une véritable offense. Il y a bien mieux dans le coin.

Je suis impressionnée qu’ils aient pu obtenir une étoile. Même les plats qui avaient du potentiel étaient gâchés avec de gros morceaux de citron, du poivre non moulu, des ferments etc. Tous les plats étaient comme ça. Je pense que le chef n’a pas été formé à comprendre le concept de complémentarité. Personne ne veut croquer dans 15 grains de poivre en mangeant (ce n’est qu’un exemple : nous avons choisi le menu 7 services, et chaque plat était bizarre, sauf le steak tartare).

Enfin, nous n’avons pas voulu exprimer notre déception pour éviter une confrontation. Cependant, le chef est venu à plusieurs reprises pour demander notre avis, même à notre départ. Nous avons fini par lui dire que nous préférions une cuisine traditionnelle. Le chef s’est vexé et nous a reproché de n’avoir rien aimé dans le restaurant. Il s’est montré incompréhensif, cherchant à engager un débat. Nous avons insisté sur le fait qu’il s’agissait d’un avis personnel.

Notre taxi était arrivé, et nous devions partir, mais le chef nous a suivis jusqu’à la porte pour dire à mon compagnon : « Vous n’êtes pas respectueux. » Mon compagnon a répondu que le goût était subjectif, qu’il n’y avait donc pas lieu d’en discuter, et il l’a salué avant de partir.

Le chef s’est alors tourné vers moi et m’a demandé d’un ton méprisant : « Qu’est-ce qui ne va pas chez lui ? » Ce genre de commentaire est inacceptable, surtout adressé à la compagne de quelqu’un. J’ai eu l’impression de faire face à un caprice.

Je lui ai expliqué encore une fois qu’il ne devait pas le prendre personnellement et je lui ai souhaité une bonne soirée. Le chef n’a même pas répondu à mes salutations. Il s’est comporté comme si c’était nous le problème.

Nous avions pris un taxi pendant une heure rien que pour essayer sa cuisine (qui, je le rappelle, n’est pas bonne, selon ma...

I rarely leave negative reviews, however I do for this meal last week because we were very disappointed.

The main room environment is beautiful. We ate at a table of eight, located in a side room. The room is unfortunately poorly soundproofed, and is a passageway to go to the toilet. Chic chic ;-) I would recommend not to use the room for dinner.

Of the 5 courses, there was a very spicy/hot starter. A tomato starter that is certainly original in preparation but ultimately not very tasty. A mixed land-sea dish, not very innovating, and very meager. And a chocolate dessert again very simple and without gluttony.

At 500 EUR per couple, we had expected a far better experience.

Menssa's menus are comparable in price to l'Air du temps. They are also around 40% more expensive than the 5-course menus of Alain Bianchin, or Maxime Colin which are found in the surrounding area.

Bad day for our taste buds? it's possible. But the whole table was disappointed.

Sorry to not recommend the place, at least for...

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...

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 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.
