Dining Guide for Esencia de La Palma by Princess

Esencia guests access private dining at Origen restaurant plus La Palma Princess's five additional venues. Origen uses a live cooking station buffet format — more interactive than a standard buffet. Three à la carte options (La Tasca, La Vita) require reservations and represent the best dining on the complex. Drinks outside the basic all-inclusive selection carry additional charges.

Included Dining

Restaurant Origen

Included

International Buffet

Exclusive Esencia buffet with live cooking stations and outdoor terrace. Open for lunch and dinner. Reservation via the Princess app required due to capacity limits. The live stations make this more interesting than a standard buffet line. Open design means the outdoor section gets cold on windy days — sit indoors on breezy evenings.
