Teams build dreams
There’s something special about restaurants that tend their own gardens. Part of it is the pleasure of seeing freshly picked herbs and flowers decorating your plate; part of it is knowing the chefs’ genuine desire to understand where their produce comes from — hands deep in the soil. Without being dogmatic, EssenCiel prioritises ingredients from nearby, though a few imported touches still find their way onto the plate. What’s certain is that every ingredient is cared for; thoughtfully crafted into dishes that are elegant in presentation and nuanced and vibrant in flavor.
