The Charisma of Esmes,
Carried Beyond the Counter

On Iso Roobertinkatu, Esmes pairs high end cooking with vinyl, hip hop and a ten metre oak counter that merges kitchen and table. A 2026 entry to Finland's 50 Best.

the BRIEF

A vibe this singular is hard to translate.

Esmes is a rare thing: serious food served with the soul of a record shop, the swagger of hip hop and a terrace made for lingering. The charisma is unmistakable in the room. The task was to make a screen feel it too.

Put the room's character on camera.

The house built a presence as bold as the bistro: content that pairs the precision of the plates with the vinyl, the counter and the back terrace, tuned to the same frequency as the room. The food stays high end, the tone stays effortless, the swagger stays intact.

The best marketing in hospitality is invisible by the end. Guests believe they discovered the room themselves, and the city believes it was always talking about it. Only two parties ever know how it really started.
