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.
