Cuisinerie Mensinge is het horecaonderdeel van het al meer dan 600 jaar oude landgoed Mensinge. De entree tot het landgoed Mensinge wordt gevormd door de poort aan de Mensingheweg. Deze poort dateert van 1920 en draagt de wapens van de laatste bewoners de familie Kymmell. Op het landgoed bevindt zich de Havezate (museum + museumwinkel), het koetshuis (de Landskeuken museum + meseumwinkel en tastings) de stenen duiventil (1750), Theater & cinema de Winsinghhof en de koetsierswoning, waarin ons restaurant is gevestigd.

We had reservations for 18:15. Didn't get a menu until 30 minutes later. After finally ordering…read moreour food we waited and waited and waited and nobody came to our table. At 19:15 a server came to our table asking if we would like another drink and we asked why our appetizers were taking so long. They were gonna check on it and came back with the excuse that it was not printed out (?) and they were working on it right now.. The food was good, but because of the service we will not return. The place was very busy. They should not take so many reservations if they don't have enough servers. Servers need to keep checking on their tables. The wait was way too long and spoils the fun of the evening.

Over the course of two months, I think I came to this restaurant about five times. It might be my…read morefavorite in Groningen. There are three floors. When you make the reservation (and you really should make a reservation), you choose where you want to dine. The menu also differs, depending on where you sit. On the ground floor, that's the restaurant. I've dined there the most. I love trying their cocktails and their bitterballen aren't that bad. You almost can't go wrong with the dish that you choose; they also change and rotate so it might already be a different menu. I sat upstairs once. It was a small plates sharing menu with more cocktails to try! In other words, it was a more extensive cocktail menu. Every time I've been the food and the cocktails have been excellent. They also have beer in case you just want to do that. The decor is fun and quirky with an Indiana Jones/Jungle Cruise flavor. I would highly recommend getting a reservation if you're in Groningen.

My relatives there think I'm crazy for being so enamored of tiny little Surhuisterveen. To them, it's nothing much: just the neighboring town where they do their shopping. To me, it's a charming European town with a great mix of practical chain stores and wonderful little boutiques. Where better to watch the locals go about their business on foot and bicycle than Kolkzicht? Literally, it's something like View of the Kolk (the main drag that it's on). During the Summer months (or if you're a smoker), enjoy their outdoor seating for the best view. There are heat lamps if it gets chilly. When last I went, in early December of 2010, that was not an option. Inside it's lovely as well. I just stopped in for an afternoon coffee. I was seated by a window and could gaze outwards, left in peace, to my heart's content. I've been there for drinking and for dinner. Both were great. (Note to self: Too many Berenburgs really are too many!) Next time I'm going to need to try their lunch fare. Uitsmijter, anyone? The bar and restaurant are attractive in a classic way. It's definitely worth a 'go'!

Because the space is small, you absolutely have to make a reservation. I went on a Sunday afternoon, almost right when they opened, and I didn't have a reservation. They offered me a table outside. The table still had cigarette dust on it. The menu is short but representative of Italian cuisine. I think I ordered the wrong thing because I didn't find it spectacular. My Italian colleague advised that the Roman dishes are the best. If you need authentic Italian food in Groningen, go to Gustatio. If you go to Gustatio, make a reservation!
