SPANISH FUSION,
SELF-SERVICE RESTAURANT
MESA
Mesa is a newly renovated restaurant located in nature reserve 'De Gavers' in Harelbeke. With its beautiful location and large porch the building is the ideal spot for a tapas restaurant. Bringing in the Spanish vibe was important but appreciating the nature was the most important aspect. Creating an abstract forest on the inside where the tables represent the trees. The southern vibe was obtained by the use of certain materials and lighting. This creates a modern yet warm and cozy restaurant perfect for food sharing. As a finishing touch the name 'mesa' was chosen which refers to the Spanish word 'table'.
