Boost creativity
We have the ideal place for your workshop, training, heath day or meeting. Many claim that, but we offer a unique meeting location where creativity gets a boost. Meet in an inspiring place where everything is different and where food and drinks are served with a story. Call us and come brainstorm.
Grab your stage
Presentations, a book launch or a music performance, intimate or for a large group, it’s all possible. The atmosphere is informal, so if it has to be all stiff and formal, we would definitely advise you to choose another location. We are more of the connection and conviviality. spaces can be arranged as desired and the words ‘can’t’ are stupid. Can do, in short.
Celebrating together
At A Beautiful Mess, you have the entire space at your disposal. A dinner catered to perfection, a special birthday or company drinks with Middle Eastern and African food and music, a bachelor party but tasteful: together we make it a party.
Unique dining
In a room with other guests or exclusively with a smaller group, we can make business decisions, celebrate successes, work through setbacks, have a solid meeting with your fist on the table, celebrate a twenty-fifth anniversary including an inscribed watch: we can do it (you will have to do the inscription yourself).
Food & drink
Come by, taste the atmosphere and the delicious food and tell us what you see. We serve food with a story. Our dishes come from the Middle East and Africa. For your party we serve a unique lunch or dinner. We are happy to think with you and make you a customized offer.
Music & activities
Meetings and events can be dressed up with us just a little differently. We have a network of cultural and musical professionals with a Middle Eastern and African sound. Curious about the possibilities? Ask us.
GROUP MENU
SHARING IS CONNECTING
At our restaurant, it’s all about sharing: we eat, drink, and share stories about our daily lives. A Beautiful Mess features a colorful menu full of “mezze”—small dishes based on recipes from the various countries represented by our staff. Levantine and Mediterranean cuisine, as well as dishes from Eritrea, Ukraine, and Pakistan.
