Booked 7 times today

Big Esso is an all-day bar and kitchen located on the land of the Wurundjeri and Boonwurrung peoples. We are beyond proud to be bringing Indigenous food and culture back to the banks of Birrarung (Yarra). This River was once an eel breeding ground; where shark, dolphin and stingrays could be found. This place was a main source of food, hunting, cooking, and ceremony. By sharing food in this place, we hope to bring these stories back to life. 'Big Esso' is an expression in the Torres Strait. It’s a slang term that means ‘the biggest thank you.’ This is what you say when you really want to express your gratitude. When combined, ‘Mabu Mabu & Big Esso’ is what you would say before kicking-off a celebration like no other.

We haven’t been to the Morning Star for a very long time. We dined last night. It was just wonderful. Service and meals were great! Great Wine list and independent craft beers. Read Octobers Broadsheet article. Im delighted there has been a lot of love and care given to keep this amazing building and its history. Well done. We’ll be back.

Wasn’t sure what to expect with Mordic cuisine but it was so great! Great selection and recommendations by staff ensured we had a great experience. We appreciated the cosy table downstairs which allowed us to chat away in low noise environment. Can’t wait to return!
