Discovery Menu
At Essential by Christophe, dinner is an invitation to slow down, discover, and savor. Our Upper West Side dining room offers an elegant escape where guests can experience the Discovery Menu, a thoughtfully curated four course prix fixe menu showcasing Chef Christophe Bellanca’s refined approach to contemporary French cuisine. Seasonal ingredients are transformed into artful, precisely composed courses, with optional wine pairings and sophisticated non alcoholic pairings available to complement the experience.
Ideal for a romantic dinner, special celebration, pre theater evening, or memorable night of fine dining near Lincoln Center, the Discovery Menu offers an approachable introduction to Essential by Christophe’s Michelin starred dining experience in New York City.
