Dear Sainte Eloise
“Dear Sainte Éloise, if you exist, please send me some money. I don’t ask for much — just enough to buy some bread and a bottle of wine.”
- George Orwell, Down and Out in Paris and London, 1933.
We too understand the happiness that simple pleasures can provide, when a solitary glass of wine can change your entire day. Dear Sainte Éloise is at its heart, a place for nice wine and things to eat.
The space is surrounded by beautiful artworks curated by Amy Finlayson, including pieces from Gabrielle Penfold, Alison Mackay and Amy herself.
Our wine list celebrates bottles from the beloved regions of Australia to the incomparable sites of Europe and beyond. Our food is creative, thoughtful and honest and our dishes are centred around the changing seasons.

Meet the Maker

Schmölzer & Brown at DSÉ, May 5th
On Tuesday May 5th, we’re excited to welcome Tessa Brown and Jeremy Schmölzer from Victoria’s Vignerons Schmölzer & Brown for a by-the-glass takeover in Potts Point.
Known for their hand-picked, high altitude grapes from Beechworth and the King Valley, the pair will be on hand throughout the evening to chat through a selection of their minimal intervention white, orange and red wines, all available by the glass, bottle or two flights of four.
