Chef Victor Glez works here with experience in Spanish cuisines, and you can taste that: in the small dishes, in the simplicity, in the flavor. The menu is styled for sharing: think croquetas, patatas bravas, a tataki variety or Spanish salad with tuna. They are not just stereotypes, but dishes with their own twist.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-72245\" title=\"mesa-mesa-restaurant-amsterdam_2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/mesa-mesa-restaurant-amsterdam_2-283x425.png\" alt=\"mesa-mesa-restaurant-amsterdam_2\" width=\"283\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/mesa-mesa-restaurant-amsterdam_2-283x425.png 283w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/mesa-mesa-restaurant-amsterdam_2-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/mesa-mesa-restaurant-amsterdam_2-768x1152.png 768w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/mesa-mesa-restaurant-amsterdam_2-8x12.png 8w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/mesa-mesa-restaurant-amsterdam_2-267x400.png 267w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/mesa-mesa-restaurant-amsterdam_2-333x500.png 333w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/mesa-mesa-restaurant-amsterdam_2.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 283px) 100vw, 283px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The interior is open and inviting. Mesa Mesa has an open kitchen, and you can see chef and team working together as if it were almost a performance. The light is soft, the materials warm, and the decor feels contemporary but not chilly. Perfect for lunch, dinner or an evening with wine and friends.<\/p>\n<p>What really makes Mesa Mesa is the combination of accessibility and quality. You don't have to be a tapas expert; the atmosphere invites you to just taste, share and enjoy. The drink menu supports that: a good selection of wines from Spain, some signature cocktails, beautiful desserts to end the evening with.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\"Mesa Mesa invites you to linger: share food, talk, enjoy - the way it's meant to be.\"<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For De Pijp, the arrival of Mesa Mesa is nice: hospitality in this neighborhood is already rich, but a Spanish tapas store with that level and an open kitchen is a valuable addition. You can sit down after a day of shopping, or start the evening with a glass of Rioja and a small menu. Don't expect haute dining, but do expect everything to be right: taste, service, atmosphere.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mesa Mesa is geen overdreven concept; het is gewoon lekker eten delen met mensen met wie je fijn praat.
