Description:
SOUTH OF CITY CENTER. With a room reminiscent of wine country decor, La Grappa provides one of the best dining experiences in Essen. You might consider starting with the carpaccio of scallops or Canadian wild rice with lobster. If you forgo the appetizers, the symphony of fish with saffron sauce is a wonderfully colorful and tender delight. La Grappa's gracious service only adds to the experience.

![The coat of arms of the city of Essen is a heraldic peculiarity. Granted in 1886, it is a so-called Allianzwappen (arms of alliance) and consists of two separate shields under a single crown. Most other coats of arms of cities show a wall instead of a crown. The crown, however, does not refer to the city of Essen itself, but instead to the secularized ecclesiastical principality of Essen under the reign of the princess-abbesses. The dexter (heraldically right) escutcheon shows the double-headed Imperial Eagle of the Holy Roman Empire, granted to the city in 1623. The sinister (heraldically left) escutcheon is one of the oldest emblems of Essen and shows a sword that people believed was used to behead the city's patrons Saints Cosmas and Damian. People tend to connect the sword in the left shield with one found in the Cathedral Treasury. This sword, however, is much younger [10]. A slightly modified and more heraldically correct version of the arms can be found on the roof of the Handelshof hotel near the main station.](http://www.2010essen.info/uploads/extgallery/public-photo/thumb/thumb_574px-Wappen_Stadt_Essen_DE_svg_1_7b61f.png "The coat of arms of the city of Essen is a heraldic peculiarity.
