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.

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, for an evening 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.
