mother's day at esca
This Mother's Day, show the women who shaped you just how much they mean, with a dining experience as extraordinary as they are. Across our ESCA venues, we're welcoming families and loved ones with warmth, bold flavours, and the kind of unhurried hospitality that makes the day feel truly special.
Whether you're after a long, sun-drenched lunch, a rooftop celebration above the city, or a kiss-sized bite of coastal Spain, we have a seat at the table for every mum.
Bookings are strongly recommended.
what's in store
aalia
For the mum who deserves nothing short of extraordinary, Aalia is a destination unto itself. Sydney's two-hatted jewel at 25 Martin Place reimagines the breadth of Middle Eastern cuisine in ways that will surprise and delight, refined, inventive, and full of heart. A Mother's Day lunch here isn't just a meal; it's a memory to last a lifetime.
jōji
Take her above it all this Mother's Day at Jōji, Sydney's most elevated rooftop destination perched atop the Cartier building on George Street. Curated banquets, signature cocktails, and moody city views make for a celebration that's refined, effortless, and utterly unforgettable. Because she's always been a cut above.
itō
Treat her to something a little different this Mother's Day at Itō, Surry Hills' beloved neighbourhood izakaya. Japanese tradition meets creative flair in a setting that's relaxed yet refined. Share sashimi, sip sake, and let the afternoon stretch out beautifully over Crown Street's most spirited share plates.
nour
Crown the mother figures in your life with a feast worthy of the occasion at Nour. Bold Lebanese flavours, hatted hospitality, and interiors that feel as generous as the food, gather around the table, order the banquet, and let the kitchen do the rest. There's no better way to say thank you than with a long lunch on Crown Street.
besa
Because every mum deserves a kiss. Tuck into Besa's coastal Spanish tapas and let the moody, music-filled atmosphere of Bondi's newest gem work its magic. Pan con tomate, oozy croquetas, flowing Spanish wine, and DJs spinning into the evening. Intimate, buzzy, and full of life, exactly how Mother's Day should feel.
