Ember has been recognised by Broadsheet as one of the “15 Melbourne Bars, Bakeries and Restaurants That Opened in September,” highlighting its emergence as one of the city’s most exciting new spots.

Why two hatted restaurants have closed – and what’s replacing them. Sorrento fine diner Audrey’s and boundary-pushing Latin American restaurant Morena might have shut, but their respective teams are cooking up new dining concepts that are more suited to repeat business.

In bittersweet news, we’ve learnt that Scott Pickett’s fine diner, Audrey’s at The Continental Sorrento, is set to be replaced by a bold new offering, Ember. This transformation is being unveiled to celebrate The Continental Sorrento’s 150-year legacy.
