• Modern Australian • Fortitude Valley
Booked 13 times today
ESSA is a wood-fired restaurant and wine bar on Robertson Street, Fortitude Valley, a short walk from James Street, Brisbane.Chef and owner Phil Marchant builds the menu around relationships with local farmers, hunters and providores. The fire does the work it's good at. What's in season shapes what's on the plate. Dishes that are considered, familiar and honest, without being precious about it.Named Gourmet Traveller Queensland's Best Restaurant (2023 & 2025), ESSA sits comfortably outside the typical fine dining category. The interiors are raw, the wine list is serious, and the cooking is produce-driven in the truest sense.Not fine dining. Not, not fine dining.Open Tuesday–Saturday from 5pm. Friday and Sunday lunch from 12pm.

    This is by far my favourite restaurant to come to. I bring everyone I know here and everyone loves it. Everything is so fresh, flavourful and well presented. My only wish would be a different desert menu and for the to bring back the butter lettuce salad otherwise I can’t fault them.

    Quite simply one of the best meals we have ever had - the service, the food and the wine was world class - the lamb was so amazing - and the roast lettuce was unbelievable- and the pasta (both) were breath taking. Well done
