Dessous

I had a fantastic evening at Dessous in Melbourne CBD, what an outstanding steak night! We visited on a Wednesday for their standout Steak Night special, and the offering did not disappoint: a dry-aged hanger steak, Thai herb salad and sticky rice. We also enjoyed the Potato Rosti with Larb­Spiced Tuna Tartare, this was very small but tasted great. The drink menu had a great range of cocktails, The setting is moody, stylish and intimate basement on Flinders Lane, ideal for a date or a special midweek dinner. Despite it being a popular night, the service was smooth and attentive everything felt well looked after without being rushed. the steak night deal was outstanding quality for the price. the did not come with chips but we ordered separately The blend of Thai accented cuisine with fine dining steak gave it a unique edge, definitely not your average steak night.

We went for the steak night, having been a few times before. Definitely has gone down hill. Okay serves, confused and unmotivated service, and did not acknowledge our ‘special occasion’. Food is still good, however when the restaurant misses the mark otherwise, in a city full of great places, Dessous can be skipped over.

It was alright! Totally enjoyed the moscato..some chilled litchy rose vibes typa drink.Also they allowed me to play a song on the system. Which was nice Also that barramudi has literal bones.not the best

We recently hosted our wedding dinner at Dessous after our city elopement at the Old Treasury Building and it was absolutely amazing. The planning process was SO easy with Wenona and Lal, both women extremely helpful, kind, attentive and accommodating. We had full trust in everyone involved in the lead up, and Rob (Dessous venue manager) and his staff were all absolutely amazing and took such incredible care of us on the day. The styling for the space was immaculate, the food completely divine (our guests raved about it), and they were super helpful at accommodating to dietary requirements. We honestly could not have picked a better venue and wish we could do it all over again! Thank you everyone <3

I had a really great dining experience just last Saturday. The vibe was warm and relaxed, and the service was great we were looked after by Jordan, who was super attentive, and easygoing. He was super knowledgeable and helpful, making some great recommendations and checked on us without feeling intrusive. The food was delicious, the drinks were spot-on, and the whole night was a great experience. Definitely coming back!

Our waiter Buster was just AMAZING. Knowledge, polite, funny and made us all feel so comfortable. The candles on our deserts for our birthdays was a beautiful touch. The food is flawless ! Usually there’s the one thing you didn’t enjoy when eating out , but the menu is so interesting and so well developed and cooked that there’s nothing I’d change! We love the atmosphere of Dessous and will return again and again! Thanks so much 🫶🏼

Fit me in at the last minute at the bar. Rob was a great host! The house martini was 👌🏾but try the spanner crab donut 🤤

Absolute shit. Used to be good. Cocktails are rubbish. If you have “Under the canopy”, be prepared to literally drink salt. Service is actually terrible. Staff seem more interested in their friends who come in than serving tables. Literally the worst place to come. Go somewhere else. Don’t waste your money. Used to be amazing but the place has gone to shit.
