Exclusive counter-dining experience with unique flavour combinations
With only twelve seats, Essence offers an exclusive dining experience in tasting menu format. In the sophisticated location in Kristineberg, all guests sit together at the chef's table and are served together directly by the chefs.
Essence, which was previously located in Västerås, opened its doors to this restaurant in autumn 2023, housed in an iron-shaped residential building next to Kristineberg metro station. Understated elegance prevails here, with muted tones of dark green and wood, display cabinets filled with wine bottles and a lounge area with gray sofas. Despite the restaurant's high ambition levels, the atmosphere is relaxed and more reminiscent of an inviting living room, with room for a total of twelve guests per evening.
Essence's heart lies at the so-called counter dining table, from which guests have can watch the chefs work on the evening's menu. In the open kitchen, classic and new flavours come together, and are served in a modern and elegant way. To ensure each guest has a unique and surprising experience, the tasting menu is updated as often as daily, apart from a few signature dishes that have been carefully crafted over the years. In line with the creations in the kitchen, the drinks packages, which are available with and without alcohol, are also carefully chosen to match the food.

Toppenställe. Vi fick börja med tre snacks, som alla var fantastiska. Sen serveras man 5 rätter, varav en dessert. Alla var goda, men råbiffen (på hjort, har jag för mig) och framför allt anklevern stack ut extra. En ordentlig efterrätt och två mindre – samtliga otroliga. Ett plus för riktigt gott te, något som ofta annars är eftersatt.
Stefan, som driver stället och är den som lagar och serverar maten, är trevlig att prata med och han fick en att förstå vad man åt lite bättre än på många andra liknande ställen. Det är underhållande att sitta omakase-style och titta när han lagar.
Det enda jag egentligen kan klaga på är läget, som är lite off. Men man tar ju ändå oftast taxi så det spelar ju ingen större roll...
Skulle inte vara förvånade om de får en stjärna i framtiden.

Best restaurant in Stockholm by far! We love food and this experience is out of this world. From the moment you step in you realize this is not just a common restaurant. I define this as MAGIC!
