This is a truly charming little place! The server we had was very friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about (of course) wine! She gave our group great recommendations and we all left happy with our wine choices. We also had the goat ragu over pasta, the fried zucchini flowers, and the burrata - all absolutely delicious. And the blood plum ricotta tart for dessert was sublime. Well worth a visit!
The perfect wine bar in a perfect spot. It's got a cool vibe, great service, they offer free sparkling water (love that) and a super interesting and extensive wine list, with lots of glasses at the $10-$12 mark which is pretty good for East Sydney. Made me want to come back for food (and more wine). I will... Stay tuned.

Waterman's Lobster Co is out and the team from Love Tilly Devine have now opened a cosy little wine bar called Dear Sainte Eloise. Sydney Rock Oysters from Wapengo Lake ($4) come with an interesting fermented horseradish which works well in moderation. Oysters are shucked to order with noticeable brine. Would have loved a slice of lemon as well to mix things up on the palate. The lovely sommelier Jasmin Natterer recommended the Envinate, 2014 'Taganan' Vinos Atlanticos Blanco, Canary Islands, Spain to stand up to the richness of flavours and I agree. Thanks for the suggestion and complimentary glass which seems to be only available by the bottle. Smoked mussels on toast ($14) comes on a highly charred bread for extra flavour and those plump mussels so good with the tasty broth that's best mopped up with some extra Bread ($4). Burrata with charred bread and mint ($20) is a generous amount of burrata which I think can be shared between two. I found the extra bread helpful in finishing. Background music is well chosen, decor is nice, seating neighbourly and cosy, and service was friendly and helpful. The passion for good wine is evident. The limited menu will certainly tempt a small group to want to order everything to try.
Booked a last minute dinner here with a friend on Saturday evening and everything was perfect. We had the set menu which was fairly priced at $75 per head for 3 courses and each dish that came out was delicious! They catered to our dietaries without any issues at all. The service was also great and the wine was beautiful. The whole vibe that Dear Saint Eloise offers is a lot of fun but also relaxing. Thanks again guys! We will be back :)
There are no rules when it comes to good wine and food! If you are looking for a wine bar with delicious food, this is for you.
Made a stop by here during a Sydney weekend trip and safe to say it was the highlight! Incredible service and tasty food - every dish was 11/10 and I may just need to make visiting this place a tradition each time I’m in town.
Love this place. Such great service from really knowledgeable staff. Innovative, tasty dishes and cute interior. Also great place for a glass of wine watching the world go by. The wine list is excellent!
Ordered a course menu all meals were amazing! Stuff were so welcoming and friendly :) Would love to visit again.
Great experience all around, thank you! Very easy dealing with Felix to arrange the group booking and all dietaries. The downstairs dining room was perfect for 11 of us, with sun streaming in over lunch. Our waiter was great - fun and accommodating. Wine selection really good and food good too
Visited for Mother’s Day dinner with my wife and my 2 kids under 3. The service was amazing, despite our tricky demands. Food was also as good as the service…very interesting and great use of contrasts. Surprisingly, even the simple things like bread butter and kids pasta were incredible. Highly recommended…even with small kids!
