Mesa, La Maison de la Transition: A community space serving you and the planet.

Table

La Mesa is a ‘Third Place for Transition’ in Luxembourg. It hosts evenings, debates, workshops, film screenings, readings and concerts, and features a library and a ‘free your stuff’ area, the Give-Box.

It is also a shop selling organic produce from the Greater Region, with a focus on bulk sales.

The restaurant/bar serves organic vegetarian food at lunchtime, with a daily special, salads, soups and tarts, as well as local organic drinks and snacks throughout the day.

The venue is also open to anyone committed to this change who would like to organise activities, workshops or events.

It focuses on conscious consumption, food sovereignty and fair trade.
