Essential by Christophe offers an exquisite culinary experience, recently enhanced by its first Michelin star. The sommelier carefully selects each wine, and the attentive staff, including a skilled and passionate team member, provide exceptional service. Guests can enjoy a small bar section before dinner, where they can have cocktails, although the space can feel tight, and some diners wish for more room between tables. Despite this minor issue, service is impeccable, making guests feel like honored visitors.
The atmosphere is calm and lightened, perfect for a gastronomical performance. Each course is excellently presented, showcasing distinct flavors. Notably, the 7-course tasting menu with wine pairing offers an unforgettable experience, featuring highlights like perfectly prepared squab, tender black bass in turmeric emulsion, and flavorful ruby red prawns. Guests have found memorable standouts, including Madai and Zebra Tomato starters. The restaurant is accommodating, allowing guests to swap out courses for a personalized meal. Overall, it is a fantastic destination for special occasions, with a robust wine list and a knowledgeable sommelier staff dedicated to providing a memorable dining experience.
