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.

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!

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🍸✨

I tried the $85 per person Four-Course Banquet at Seamstress, and overall I had a really enjoyable night. The dishes are beautifully presented, the flavours are balanced, and you get a good mix of seafood, crispy bites, and slow-cooked meats. The starters were fresh and light — especially the kingfish sashimi and the wonton — which is a really nice way to open up the meal. My favourites were definitely the crispy soft-shell crab and the crispy Brussels sprouts; both were super flavourful and not too heavy. The mains were filling, especially the braised beef short rib and the pork belly. If you come in hungry, the $85 banquet is worth it because you get plenty of variety and enough food to feel satisfied. But if you’re someone who doesn’t eat large portions or you’re not super hungry, the $70pp banquet would honestly be enough. The menu is quite similar and still gives you a great taste of everything without feeling too full. Service was friendly, the space has that cosy laneway-Melbourne vibe, and overall it’s a great spot for a nice dinner with friends or a date.

Seamstress is such a nice and cosy spot, perfect for a relaxed dinner or just drinks. The food portions are massive and there’s a great variety to choose from, especially for the price, definitely value for money. Everything we tried was satisfying, but the desserts were my absolute favourite specially the pumpkin and coconut custard. A great place to catch up with friends or enjoy a laid-back night out.
