TrĂšs déçue. Ce restaurant n’est pas Ă  la hauteur. À Ă©viter. Manque de cohĂ©rence, et le chef manque d’humilitĂ©. Le vrai chef n'est jamais dans la cuisine. Ils misent tout sur l'esthĂ©tique et ce n'est mĂȘme pas si beau que ça.

À prix Ă©gal, j'avais passĂ© la meilleure expĂ©rience culinaire de ma vie Ă  Bozar (oĂč on y reconnait du gĂ©nie, esthĂ©tique et de la passion) VS Ă  Menssa, j'y ai passĂ© pour l'instant ma pire expĂ©rience Ă©toilĂ©e.

Les plats n’ont aucun sens ; les saveurs ne vont tout simplement pas ensemble. Bien que les ingrĂ©dients soient manifestement de bonne qualitĂ©, pour oser briser les codes de la gastronomie, il faut une technique irrĂ©prochable et, surtout, du goĂ»t. Certaines combinaisons ne devraient jamais exister, ils ont associĂ© de la vanille Ă  une langoustine par exemple. Tout les plats Ă©taient fait de maniĂšre alĂ©atoire. C'est quoi donc... de l'art abstrait ? C'est juste faire preuve de mauvais goĂ»t, et d'ailleurs, le goĂ»t lui-mĂȘme 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 rĂ©cite difficilement son texte comme s’il essayait de s’en souvenir, nous avons dĂ» dĂ©barrasser notre propre table, les couteaux Ă©taient inadaptĂ©s, l’équipe mal formĂ©e, les "serveurs" traitent mieux la clientĂšle qui parle français, la langoustine mal dĂ©cortiquĂ© (j'ai dĂ» recracher des morceaux, trĂšs chic). Le pairing sans alcool se limitait Ă  des infusions basiques et sans grand goĂ»t, ça avait le goĂ»t de l'eau Ă  99%. J'espĂ©rais 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 impressionnĂ©e qu’ils aient pu obtenir une Ă©toile. MĂȘme les plats qui avaient du potentiel Ă©taient gĂąchĂ©s avec de gros morceaux de citron, du poivre non moulu, des ferments etc. Tous les plats Ă©taient comme ça. Je pense que le chef n’a pas Ă©tĂ© formĂ© Ă  comprendre le concept de complĂ©mentaritĂ©. 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 Ă©tait bizarre, sauf le steak tartare).

Enfin, nous n’avons pas voulu exprimer notre dĂ©ception pour Ă©viter une confrontation. Cependant, le chef est venu Ă  plusieurs reprises pour demander notre avis, mĂȘme Ă  notre dĂ©part. Nous avons fini par lui dire que nous prĂ©fĂ©rions une cuisine traditionnelle. Le chef s’est vexĂ© et nous a reprochĂ© de n’avoir rien aimĂ© dans le restaurant. Il s’est montrĂ© incomprĂ©hensif, cherchant Ă  engager un dĂ©bat. Nous avons insistĂ© sur le fait qu’il s’agissait d’un avis personnel.

Notre taxi Ă©tait arrivĂ©, et nous devions partir, mais le chef nous a suivis jusqu’à la porte pour dire Ă  mon compagnon : « Vous n’ĂȘtes pas respectueux. » Mon compagnon a rĂ©pondu que le goĂ»t Ă©tait subjectif, qu’il n’y avait donc pas lieu d’en discuter, et il l’a saluĂ© avant de partir.

Le chef s’est alors tournĂ© vers moi et m’a demandĂ© d’un ton mĂ©prisant : « Qu’est-ce qui ne va pas chez lui ? » Ce genre de commentaire est inacceptable, surtout adressĂ© Ă  la compagne de quelqu’un. J’ai eu l’impression de faire face Ă  un caprice.

Je lui ai expliquĂ© encore une fois qu’il ne devait pas le prendre personnellement et je lui ai souhaitĂ© une bonne soirĂ©e. Le chef n’a mĂȘme pas rĂ©pondu Ă  mes salutations. Il s’est comportĂ© comme si c’était nous le problĂšme.

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.
