Miami Flavors. Naturally Grown

Prepare to enjoy a natural gourmet dining experience at Essensia. Featuring an intimate indoor dining room, a large Caribbean-style covered terrace and a breezy poolside terrace, Essensia embraces the true essence of local cuisine with unique-to-Miami ingredients, while incorporating Caribbean and Latin influences and drawing inspiration from our city's uniquely blended culture. Under the direction of Signature Chef Julie Frans, the focus at Essensia is on locally and sustainably farmed ingredients with a healthy, vegetable-focused approach. A proud recipient of the Slow Foods Snail of Approval, Essensia, together with Chef Julie, bring light to the farm-to-table concept while maintaining good, clean, and fair standards for all.
