The Essence Restaurant
Located on the corner of Lonsdale and Exhibition Street in Melbourne Marriott Hotel, in the heart of the city's theatre district, The Essence Restaurant is an epicurean delight hidden in plain sight.
With discreet signage and reflective windows, this institution has cultivated a loyal following among the theatre crowd who return time-and-time again for its delicious fare.
Signature dishes include their melt-in-your-mouth lamb shanks soaked in a red wine jus, hand-rolled gnocchi, and more.
For leisurely afternoons, The Essence Restaurant also offers an impeccably presented New York high tea showcasing three tiers of New York classics with a Melbourne twist.
A tribute to the delicate form, flavour and colours of roses. 12pm-3pm daily. From $65pp.
