    We enjoyed the six course taster menu and the paired wines too. Team were happy to organise a veg/fish option and a meatier option. Thanks

    I had the €58 discovery menu with an amuse bouche, two starters, two main courses and two desserts. It’s much better value than the 3 course menu which is €49. There were some bottles of wine at reasonable prices starting from €22 and some more expensive ones. It’s a pity that a glass of champagne is €18 which is far too overpriced so I didn’t have one. I would have been willing to pay €12 but not more. The service was very friendly.

    Mensae is always a wonderful place to eat! Their food is of amazing quality and taste. It’s elevated visually and cooked with obvious love, care and respect for the ingredients. Highly recommend.

    Food was very average, nothing special at all. The only thing we liked were the deserts. Service cold and nonexistent

    Excellent place. The room is bright and welcoming, and quiet enough to have a conversation with friends. The food was excellent, from appetizers to dessert.

    Food was good, although they seemed surprised about dietary requirements despite this being on the booking information that was submitted a month ago, and me following up with them to confirm. Service from one of the staff was extremely poor, and our plates were thrown onto the table without any explanation. Our table was out of food, water and drinks whilst we waited for the last course. No one came and checked whether we wanted any further drinks, which we definitely would have had as the wait between the courses and getting the check was so long. We tried to get the attention of staff to reorder items but never managed to, as other tables seemed to be getting the bulk of service. The only instance of being asked if we wanted anything further was when we’d already asked for the bill, to be told to wait for a card machine, which we waited for only to be told that we actually needed to go to the bar 5 minutes later. Overall it was hard to justify the price given the experience that was had as we left hungry and had to deal with a particularly rude member of staff.

    The food is OK to good, but they don't really have much attention in terms of service. The room was insanely cold. Bread was regular-to-cheap.

    A real hidden gem IMHO. The food was so amazing, best dinner in Paris after multiple trips and many restaurants. Complex flavours and textures, everything complimentary and contrasting in sometimes surprising ways. We did the 6 course tasting and only one dish were we did not love and it was still good, just not jaw dropping haha. Our absolute favorite dish was the chocolate mousse, defying the laws of physics to be that light and yet that rich! Atmosphere is a somewhat basic, still nice, but not fancy or especially elegant. Definitely not on same level as the food, but that's OK with me. We had a couple of glasses of white whine that were very nice but nothing special. Bottle of red was recommended and was great.

    Every dish was carefully conceived and perfectly executed. Staff was friendly, unpretentious and capable. It is a small restaurant with small tables and a spare decor but an enjoyable vibe. We stuck to the 50E pri fixe and had exceptional escargot, coquille st jacque, guinea fowl, and excellent mousse and fig desserts. One caution: the menu is not extensive and the non pri choices look spectacular. Be careful to stay on the pri fixe (also fabulous) or you could be stung by the bill. A talented chef presides here!

    It was a lovely lunch. The shrimp ravioli that Condé Nast traveller wrote about wasn’t on the menu, but what was there was yummy - duck hearts, sweetbreads, fish of the day, and a divine chocolate mousse.

    The place is a little out of the way for most tourists but it is well worth the journey. If you can, park yourself on the pavement and enjoy not much other than a pleasant and quiet street of genuine residential Paris. But the food? Oh yes! The Japanese chef masters a subtle blend of French classics (escargots, anyone?) with twists of his own, to create and pleasant suite (do indulge in the tasting menu) of surprising dishes. We loved the homemade tarama, the perfectly cooked fish, glazed pork and the light desserts, cookie and chocolate mousse. Fantastically relaxed and friendly service, great and generous wine pairing, we can't wait to go back.

    We came with high expectations that certainly were lived up to. Very refined cooking in each of the plates we tried throughout the tasting menu. Really highly recommended and definitely one of our best meals in Paris recently.

    We had a delicious dinner at Mensae! The staff is super friendly and welcoming and the food was great. The only thing that we noticed for our neighboring tables was that the food arrived a little too quickly. We asked if they could wait a bit between our dishes, which they did eventually. Just something to keep in mind if you want a bit more of a "slow" dinner. Otherwise, overall a great experience and we'd love to visit again.

    Wonderfully low key, unfussy menu and surprising flavors made for a seriously enjoyable dinner. Start with the escargot (light and not at all what you'd expect) and the oysters, finish with any mains (though several are for two persons) we had the lamb...the standout of the night and the chefs complimentary clams. Every bite was delicious, and such clean flavors. Topped it off with a bottle of light red, and glasses of prosecco. Thank you!
