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.

Bangers & Mash Mondays

Mondays from 5pm, $35
Cosy comfort food enthusiasts, your time has come! Mondays have entered their winter era with our bangers and mash special.
These aren't just your average snags: Head Chef Tom Cleland makes our pork sausages in house. Then they're served on a luxurious bed of buttery mash and drowned in rich onion gravy. Our suggestion? Save room for Chef Tom's sublime banoffee tart to finish.
Book ahead or walk on in, only a limited number of portions per night.
Group Dining
Dappled with sunlight by day, and shimmering candlelight by night, Dear Sainte Éloise’s Sunken Dining Room can be booked for semi-exclusive use, with guests surrounded by beautiful artworks.
