FAQ

We feature an à la cart menu. 
Our fixed menu is only for large parties. All large parties take the fixed menu. 
At Esmée, a party of seven guests or greater constitutes a large party.
Parties of six or fewer guests dine à la cart. No fixed menu is offered for parties of that size.

We do not offer a children’s menu. However, we can usually provide a simple pasta with butter and 
parmesan for young children. Principally, the menu is suitable for adults and older children.

Yes. It is preeminently important that we do not harm you in anyway. 
Each of our dishes are the product of multiple processes and ingredients. 
Many of those ingredients will not appear on the menu. 
The more we know about your dietary restrictions 
the better we can take care of you in our restaurant.

No. We often use organic items. However, we are not committed to featuring exclusively organic agriculture.

Great question. We certainly recognize the growth and moral clarity of the vegan movement. Our 
cooking is rooted in French bistro cuisine. From a cultural and culinary standpoint 
we find that those two strains of cooking are not yet compatible. 
Therefore, while we do offer a few vegan options, it would be reasonable to conclude 
that our restaurant is not optimal for vegans. 
If you’re looking for more vegan options let us know. 
We have a short list of excellent vegan restaurants. We would be happy to refer you to them.

Vegetarians and pescatarians have plenty of menu options at Esmée. 
Please click on our menu to view our offerings.

There are rare circumstances in which it is appropriate to pre-order. 
In such an instance, we would be happy to accommodate you. 
However, that is typically unnecessary. Please order from the menu once you arrive.

in any dessert you order from the menu. Call us if you want this option.

Generally, no. 
In Denmark it is customary to leave the stroller outside often with the child still in in it. 
This may seem odd to outsiders, but Denmark is a very safe and trusting country. 
That said, sometimes for lunch when the restaurant is not bustling, it can be possible to bring your stroller inside. For dinner this is generally not possible. Always call ahead and ask. 
Do not assume that this can be done
