1 Findlay St., Over-the-Rhine
Essen is no ordinary take-away. The take-out and delivery kitchen, which opened in the fall of 2018 in Over-the-Rhine, aims to bring a new kind of menu to the Cincinnati restaurant scene. Sure, Essen serves soups, salads and sandwiches like any other respectable establishment, but there arent any chicken Caesars or ham-and-Swiss sammies to be found here. In fact, this kitchen doesnt stock any meat, dairy or eggs at all: The entire menu is plant-based.
