Testimonials

Hear What Our Guests Have to Say

La Mensa is a hidden gem, not because it is hard to find but because it was good quality meals that were well priced. When dining as a family the key things you want are well priced, flavoursome food.

Troy & Michelle
Food was a hit with the kids & adults. There is ample space for big groups, and the place has a relaxed, fun feel to it. We had 4-5 different cocktails, and each & every one of them had a good zing to it.

Aditi Swaroop
My partner & I came here for dinner. Great service & food came out within a reasonable time. Arancini balls were the best we’ve had & both pasta dishes were absolutely spot on. Highly recommend for anyone in the area!
