One of my favourite city bars. Small and cozy Tigra, is great for chats and nibbles, with tasty tapas plates and a solid wine list, plus you can get the cocktails from the upstairs, supremely funky, cocktail bar, Disco Pantera, delivered down to you! If I'm meeting someone city-side, Tigra is always top of my list as a starter. And you can end the night up in DP.

Great food options for us picky eaters with strong and different preferences. Hard surfaces make it a bit noisy which was the biggest issue Lovely service and wonderful and accommodating staff.

Genuinely one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Sydney! The value for money is absolutely incredible, especially considering the quality of the food and the overall experience. It’s a beautiful little restaurant with a fantastic atmosphere and such a great vibe. The staff were exceptional, every waiter was warm, friendly and genuinely welcoming, which made the evening even better. I honestly cannot fault a single thing. From the food and service to the atmosphere and value, everything was spot on. I couldn’t recommend Dear Saint Eloise highly enough. An absolute gem in Sydney, and somewhere I’ll definitely be returning to!
