- Live DJs or music depending on the night
- A warm, laid-back and festive atmosphere

Two Restaurants, Two Moods
Food is part of the celebration. At GRAND MESS, you’ll find two dining options:
- La Brasserie : modern, seasonal cuisine with a generous French twist
- Le Bouillon du Mess : inspired by Parisian bouillons, this is comfort food with flair, at friendly prices
Whichever you choose, you’ll enjoy a casual yet vibrant dining experience.
