The partner's word
L'Essentiel holds one Michelin star and the kitchen is led by Mi‑Ra. The restaurant offers a three‑course lunch menu. Certain menus run at fixed service times (12:00–13:00 and 19:30–20:30), and some tasting menus must be booked in advance for the whole table. The house sells gift vouchers and publishes special event menus, including Réveillon options with and without wine pairings.
The restaurant sits in central Deauville, a stone’s throw from the Planches.
The cuisine is modern and creative French, delivered through composed tasting menus and seasonal set menus that showcase refined ingredients in discovery‑driven multi‑course sequences.
Charles Thuillant is the chef.
Specialties include Menu Inspiration (9‑course tasting), Menu Découverte (6‑course discovery), langoustine with riz vénéré and caviar, roll de butternut with truffled pecorino, caille farcie au foie gras and Pont‑l’Évêque fermier de chez Martin.
