We went for the Sundat set menu at $62 per person plus wine. Our obvious assessment is the a la carte offers much more varierty and presents an increased opportunity to sample the cheh's delights. The Sunday roast consisted of 4 courses: a beetroot, cos, fresh peas and egg salad with bayleaf powder and small saltbush leaf. Fresh, clean flavours.... More

The entree was a salmon croquette with pea and beetroot? It was so yum my partner barely allowed me a taste of the croquette! For... More

We have been to Embrasse a few times now for both dinner and lunch and each time it just gets better. I highly recommend the Sunday lunch which is a four course set meal, the dessert served on this day would have to be ranked as one of the best I have had. The restaurant has its own beehive on...

Embrasse is a modern french restaurant. Nic the chef owner creates beautiful multi course degustation dinners and lunches. The quality of his produce is next to none and he creates the prettiest dishes that I have ever seen. Last night we went for the Valentines's Day dinner. The dishes were well balanced, they were full of suprise and delight and... More

My friend and I were passing through Australia on an eating trip. We went to Momo, Ezard, Embrasse, Movida and Press Club in Melbourne as well as Quay, Tetsuya and Marque in Sydney. I would rate Embrasse as the #2 on the trip behind Tetsuya's. The menu was creative, the food delicciously fresh and good value. IIRC only $98 for... More

This was not our first trip to Embrasse... but it just continues to get better and better! The food is executed to perfection, and the wait staff is very helpful and knowledgable. We mentioned at the time of booking that we were vegetarian, and were treated with a fabulous meal that was based on what was fresh on the day... More

Nic the executive chef at Embrasse combines his modern French food with exquisite edible flowers. Never mind if you have preferences or food allergies, with notice Nic is happy to oblige. The dishes are on the small side - as is the French tradition, but everything is beautifully cooked and prepared. There is even a chef's table for those who... More
