Dear Sainte Éloise

Dear Sainte Éloise is a cosy, wine-forward bar nestled in the vibrant laneways of Potts Point, offering a thoughtfully curated experience built around good conversation, seasonal plates, and an ever-evolving wine list. Named after a line in George Orwell’s Down and Out in Paris and London, the venue channels the charm of European wine bars with its dim lighting, intimate tables, handwritten menus, and shelves lined with bottles from all over the world. The wine list features over 400 selections, spanning natural, biodynamic, and classic producers, with a strong focus on small vineyards and interesting drops. The food menu is equally inspired, offering elegant yet rustic share plates like anchovy toast, beef tartare, house-made pasta, and seasonal vegetables with bold flavours and fine textures.

Whether you’re a seasoned wine lover or a curious newcomer, the friendly, knowledgeable staff help guide your palate without pretension. Dear Sainte Éloise is a haven for those who appreciate warm hospitality, simple pleasures, and the joy of a perfectly poured glass in great company.
