Reviews for Seamstress Restaurant and Bar
Chasing Pastry
What a delight! Seamstress is somewhat hidden restaurant situated upstairs above a basement bar and coffee shop on the Paris end of Lonsdale Street. Serving up modern Asian Fusion and a contemporary cocktail menu, it’s the perfect spot for a pre-dinner meal, date night, or after work drinks. They’ve leaned into the theme with the space decorated with draped fabrics and floral arrays hanging from the ceiling and vintage sewing machines scattered about giving it a really cool vibe inside. The menu is designed for sharing and features a range of creative dishes from small bites to more substantial offerings. Almost every dish comes in multiple sizes so you can customise your feast, or opt for a banquet and let the chef make all the hard decisions for you. The food was all immaculately presented and full of flavour. It tended towards the milder end on the spice spectrum (which suited me perfectly) but those who like it hot might need to request extra chilli. Standouts for us were the sweet potato and snake bean wontons, the vegetarian betel leaf with peanut, cashew, shallot, coconut and mango, the Penang vegetable red curry, and the pumpkin and coconut custard dessert though everything we tried was delicious. The cocktails were also lovely with some very interesting combinations. Our faves were the Sunshine State of Mind and Rum Swizzle. Service was very friendly, and we appreciated the thorough explanation of how the menu worked and recommendations to suit our preferences (vegetarian). Dishes came out quickly and portions were on point. Overall a great spot I’d gladly come back to anytime.

Had such a great experience at Seamstress. We went with the 3-course meal and each course was thoughtfully curated, packed with flavour, and perfect to enjoy together. The modern Asian fusion dishes were creative without being overcomplicated, every bite was satisfying. The cocktails were a standout too — beautifully crafted and a fun twist on familiar favourites. A special shoutout to their staff for their warm and attentive service. They made us feel genuinely welcomed. Definitely a spot I’d recommend for a special night out in the CBD.

Dining in Melbourne CBD has just got more exciting with our discovery of Seamstress. The establishment hosts an amazing dining experience with an accompanying cocktail bar. Conveniently located on Lonsdale street and spanning three levels, it offers Asian fusion dishes with a flare. Each dish is inventive and artistically presented. Honestly, all the dishes we tried from their banquet menu (Four courses $85 add $10 for desserts) were super delicious; even the Brussels sprouts tasted amazing! The vibe was warm and lively, though a bit noisy when full. We would be keen to return to sample the other dishes on the menu!

Loved the food and vibrant atmosphere at Seamstress. Every dish was full of flavour, perfect for sharing. Some magical cocktails served by the amazing bar staff. Big thanks to Mickey and Mandy for their amazing service — attentive, friendly, and made the night extra special. Highly recommend to everybody

Seamstress feels like one of those places that already has a rhythm before you sit down - low lighting, jazz humming, cocktails clinking, and that unmistakable prohibition energy that makes the night feel like it’s going somewhere good. Hubby and I shared the $85pp banquet (they also have a $70 3-course option) and it was the best decision. Four courses, twelve dishes, all arriving at the perfect pace, full of bold flavours and little surprises that kept us excited for what was coming next. It’s generous, fun, and ideal if you want to relax into the evening rather than stare at a menu. The service struck that perfect balance of attentive but effortless, drinks were excellent, and the whole place had a buzz without feeling chaotic. One of those dinners that turns into a proper night out without you even realising. We’ll absolutely be back - especially for date night🍸✨
