Peanuts take center stage in the making of our Poulet en Vatapá Blanc — slowly coaxed into something rich, silky, and quietly bold. Coconut milk softens, aji amarillo lifts, and the kitchen moves with intention as each element finds its place. This is comfort built on craft, where a humble ingredient leads the way and the final plate speaks for itself.

Menu 140 continues our exploration of comfort, craft, and curiosity—plates that feel both familiar and quietly transportive.

Our Poulet en Vatapá Blanc is rich without being heavy, layered without being loud. Tender chicken | peanut | coconut milk | aji amarillo | fingerling | spinach | leek

It’s a dish meant to be lingered over—one that unfolds slowly, rewarding each bite with depth, balance, and intention. Settle in, take your time, and let Menu 140 carry you through the evening at The Essex.

Cocktail Feature of the Day - Rayuela, meaning “Hop Scotch” in Spanish

Crafted with Koch Elemental Mezcal | fino sherry | lime juice | pineapple juice | orgeat syrup | couple dashes saline | nutmeg on top

This is a playful, yet grown-up cocktail, skipping effortlessly between smoky depth, nutty warmth & a bright, tangy snap. Layered, balanced & quietly bold, it invites you to linger with each sip, moving back and forth between comfort & curiosity, one thoughtful step at a time.

🍷 La Kiuva Arnad Rouge de Vallé Picotendro (Nebbiolo)

This wine comes from Italia with a fresh, alpine expression of Picktendro with notes of red cherry, wild strawberry and dried rose.

Quiet focus, steady hands, and a Rack of Fluke taking shape piece by piece. Crafted in our kitchen, long before it reaches your table at The Essex.

#theessexrestaurant
Rack of Fluke Meuniére approached with restraint and finished with classic discipline.

The cook is deliberate; a precise sear, a controlled finish & a focus on balance that allows the fish to remain the center of the plate — brown butter | lemon | parsley bechamel| frisée | pommes pave — nothing rushed, nothing overworked

The supporting elements are there to elevate, not distract, adding contrast and structure while keeping the experience clean and composed. This is meant to be appreciated bite by bite.

Cocktail feature of the Day — Yamazaki Highball

Crafted with toki japanese whiskey | soda water | angostura bitter

This cocktail is composed, intentional & effortlessly polished. Built to refresh the room as much as the moment, it’s less about excess and more about balance. Quietly confident, endlessly refined and perfectly at home at The Essex.

That aesthetic shift… timeless to electric

It starts in black & white — quiet, composed and all about form and intention. A moment of pause where the details sharpen and the mood sets in. Classic lines, understated elegance, nothing competing for attention.

Then the color comes in — energy builds, glasses clink and the room hums. What was refined becomes alive. This is The Essex; rooted in restraint, finished with feeling and always made to be experienced.
