Esme has been created for Executive Chef Joe Chan and Assistant GM Guillaume Places to show their passion for the classical approach to food and service. A marriage of all they believe, an intimate restaurant should be. The essence of Esme is a place elevated over Kowloon for longer lunches, liaisons and unhurried evenings. Detailed and designed with inspiration from classic New York power lunch venues with French flair. It s a restaurant for all day and all night, as it transforms into a cocktail lounge later in the evening for late night bookings. As a private room, we are happy to create a menu around your events, please ask the Maitre D hôtel for details. Our Boutique Wine List is also carefully prepared to illustrate our love for wine, to be enjoyed, not just collected. Discretionary 10% to be added onto your final bill. Any preferences, food requirements, allergies or even something we need to prepare for a special occasion, please do let us know and we will do our best to accommodate them. If you can let us know at time of booking we can for sure help, on busy nights please excuse us if options are more limited.
