   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.

   Welcome to ēmmē — your neighbourhood destination for woodfired flavours, breakfast pitas, and a touch of magic.
   Located just across from James Street Market, ēmmē is a Mediterranean-inspired restaurant where casual dining meets refined technique. From early mornings serving Five Senses coffee to evenings fuelled by woodfired cooking and European wines, it’s a place to gather and feel at home.
   Drawing from the philosophy of Wabi-Sabi, we celebrate imperfection with charred edges, seasonal ingredients, and dishes kissed by fire. Every plate—like our signature charred broccoli, fresh seafood over charcoal, or housemade pitas—is layered with care, spice, and soul.
   When the sun sets, we transform into a moody, candlelit dining room. Founded by Chef Thomas Lian Tze, ēmmē brings a lifetime of hospitality to a warm, unexpected space. It’s more than a restaurant — it’s a celebration of flavour, fire, and community. Come for the food, stay for the vibes.
