At Essensia, luxury service, beauty and an Asian ambiance surround you. The main dining room has a south east Asian design that alludes to restaurants you see in Thailand and Indonesia. A long narrow minimalist wooden table lays in the center of the main dining room.

The main dining room

Birds of paradise and traditional southeast Asian statues sit in the middle of a sea of candles. Rectangular shaped candlelit lanterns lay on the floor next to exotic plants while small orchids sit on individual tables. Red light and flickering blown glass candles create a zenlike energy that will fuel your conversation throughout the evening.

private dining rooms

As you step through the halls on a red carpet, you will see gorgeous vaulted private dining rooms. Classic crossed ceilings and a square wall filled with oriental decorations bring the best of the east and west together.  The light beige color of tiles and chairs complement the warmth of the suede tapestries that hang on the chairs. The perspective view seen when looking through the hall creates a modern sense of depth an casual elegance.

The main bar

Virtually every celebrity who comes through Prague has been spotted here. It would not be surprising to see the likes of John Travolta, Pink, or Christina Aguilera sitting at the table next to you. The menu is moderately priced so you will see a crowd of foodies, locals, international travelers and businessmen.
