Consider how lucky you are when you stroll into this welcoming Chinese restaurant on Leake Street. Devastated by a fire, Essendon locals treated the closing of Tope Restaurant like the mourning of a family member. But Tope Restaurant has come back from the dead and is better and more popular than ever. With the trademark friendly service and consistent quality they were always known for, Tope is again serving up outstanding traditional Chinese dishes. The lemon chicken is a long-standing favourite, and their versions of san choy bow are among the finest in Melbourne’s northern suburbs, while their dim sims and varied dumplings are perfect for sharing among a group, so get your gang together and celebrate Tope Restaurant’s return to Essendon!
