From the table, to the service, to the food and the atmosphere!!! Definitely try to get in for this amazing experience!!!!

We had the tasting menu on a Wednesday night at Esperance and everything was amazing. They converted the parking lot into an elegant dining area, with well appointed tables and very comfortable cushioned chairs. Their wine list is extensive and the owner is extremely knowledgeable about wine varieties. The prix fixe dinner started with quail egg 🥚 and a Persian salad with chives, parsley, cucumbers and tomatoes. After this first course came prosciutto salad with melon and arugula. The ricotta stuffed ravioli came after with grated Parmesan and artichoke. The steak 🥩 was perfect with fois gras and mashed potatoes, zucchini and sun dried tomatoes. Dessert was sweet corn 🌽 ice cream with biscotti, and grilled peach 🍑. Highly recommend, an excellent restaurant for you to enjoy 😊

My favorite wine (and food!) shop the world over! The selection of fine vintages and delicious eats is outstanding. And the service from Pram & Suzanne is over the top! Do yourself a favor and make sure you put Esperance on your list of places to stop by when you are Up North.

Dinner was incredible, including the service, and the shop itself is always fantastic. Esperance is always a highlight of visiting Charlevoix.

I stopped in for the wine, but return regularly for the dinner. This is one of the most memorable and enjoyable meals you will have. Pram is an amazing host, and will help you select your bottles prior to arrival, which is nice when we start with a white variety. The top restaurant in Northern Michigan, period! Wish they were located in Cincinnati!
