Essence Restaurant

Located on the corner of Lonsdale and Exhibition Street in Melbourne Marriott Hotel, in the heart of the city's theatre district, Essence Restaurant is an epicurean delight hidden in plain sight.

Located next door to both Her Majesty Theatre and The Comedy Theatre, this institution has cultivated a loyal following among the theatre crowd who return time-and-time again for its delicious fare; offering a dedicated Prix-Fixe Menu that includes two courses and beverage.

Signature dishes include their melt-in-your-mouth lamb shanks soaked in a red wine jus, hand-rolled gnocchi, and more.

For leisurely afternoons, Essence Restaurant offer an impeccably presented Blush and Bloom high tea showcasing three tiers of delicious hot and cold dishes and sweet pastries, that celebrate the delicate form, flavour, and colours of roses.
