Housed in a beautifully restored heritage building near the pier, The Eminence marries old-world charm with modern sophistication. Its elegant chapel space and warm interiors create a sense of quiet grandeur, ideal for both intimate dinners and special gatherings. The menu travels widely – Heathcote Shiraz-braised short ribs, Thai-inspired barramundi, and a classic grass-fed porterhouse reveal a kitchen unafraid to blend comfort and creativity. With every plate, The Eminence proves that heritage dining needn’t be nostalgic; it can be boldly, deliciously current. The adjoining chapel offers an exquisite backdrop for private events.
