From the restaurant's website:
"Our fine dining restaurant is set in a series of intimate rooms beneath vaulted ceilings. Interiors have been recreated with harmonious minimalism and subtle eastern elements. The inspired menu is the creation of our Executive Chef Jirí Štift; determined to revive the Golden Era of Czech cuisine for today’s high gourmet levels. He has also selected dishes from Asia, each prepared for the purity of individual flavours."
Full bar. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner daily.
"With vaulted ceilings and a dim view on to a Le Carré-eque Mitteleuropean side street, Essensia could easily be yet another addition to the goulash and dumpling brigade. Yet here, beneath Prague Castle, they serve vivid, Far Eastern cuisine as delicious as it is out of place. The lobster and water chestnut ravioli is perfect; sesame crusted tuna with soba noodles in bonito broth a sublime fusion of pungency and subtlety."
