Seamstress Restaurant & Bar is one of Melbourne’s favourite iconic restaurants. Their menu is all about the shared dining experience, served in a succession of short courses. Indulge in their delicious treats such as crispy Brussels sprouts with white miso dressing & togarashi spices, Malay corn fritters and soft shell crab sliders with green mango & papaya salad. Split over four distinct levels, each mirroring the theme of the building, with draping rolls of raw fabric, a multicoloured collection of yarns, scattered Singer sewing machines and silk cheongsams hung from the ceiling which adds a quirky touch to the building’s décor. Located on the edge of Chinatown and in the heart of Melbourne's vibrant East End Theatre District, Seamstress is a quintessential Melbourne haunt, with interiors and a history to match. Seamstress is the perfect meeting point for pre-theatre dinner and drinks located just a stones throw away from Her Majesty’s Theatre and The Melbourne Comedy Theatre, and a short walk away from The Princess Theatre, it’ll leave you with plenty of time to spare before the curtain goes up. Enjoy an early dinner in our Dining room, or head upstairs to the Cocktail Bar for a nice pre-theatre drink and a quick bite to eat before the show.
