On Thursday night, Lewis was in very esteemed company in Melbourne as he went out for dinner with former US president Barack Obama and his wife Michelle.

The trio enjoyed a meal in a private upstairs room in Embla and the F1 champion’s parents also attended the very special dinner date.

The politician’s security detail occupied ‘most of the bottom floor’ according to The Herald Sun, and the restaurant was closed down especially for their visit.

Obama ordered the broccoli bisque and a lamb main course, along with a vodka martini.

Michelle chose wine for her beverage, and the American dignitaries opted not to order dessert.

On Wednesday, the couple enjoyed a private BridgeClimb walk across the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge.

The couple were been given special permission to climb without wearing safety harnesses.

After completing the walk, Obama was seen accepting a souvenir BridgeClimb cap and talking to workers clad in high-visibility clothing.

Barack was in Australia to speak at the city’s ‘An Evening with President Obama’ – where Australians heard about his ‘path to success’.

Tickets for Obama’s speaking dates came in at between AUD $195 to $895 and the trip is expected to net the former president as much as AUD $1million.

Obama was seen touching down in a private jet in Sydney on Monday.

The politician, who served as US president between 2009 and 2017, last visited Down Under in November 2014.
