Dessous

This is a perfect restaurant for a date night. We had the best oysters of our lives, and the wine list is incredible! The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend, we will be going back!

Romantic spot, great ambiance. Excellent wine list. Awesome tapas! And superb service by Michael! Highly recommended!

Dine in for NYE crab feast. Food was okay and a bit overpriced for four courses and a glass of champagne. I came in served with appetisers, I must say the crab cake sando was delicious but the potato crisps crab was a bit oily and sweet chilli crab was fair but tasted a bit too cold when served. Mains was okay as well- the stir fry crab noodle was great though but the rice crab is undercooked for the rice overcooked for the crab which was not pleasant. The heirloom tomato and zucchini mushroom was also bland and a little bit undercooked for the zucchini makes it tough when chewed.

Dessert was coconut sorbet and pineapple - combination was odd I think cause the pineapple served was too young makes my throat hurt. It would be better if pineapple were switch to mango instead

Service was so so, I ate at Hazel which is the affiliated restaurant above from same Mulberry group the service was excellent but Dessous was not giving similar care to the customer I guess

Overall 2 out of 9 of the food was good but the rest was just alright and need some improvements on the consistency and the food

Beautiful decor and luxurious seating. We had a set menu for Nee Year’s Eve Street Feast. So, it is hard to judge if the taste and presentation will be the same for every other day. My dishes were crab central and delicious. The presentation was delightful to the eyes and taste tingled my taste buds.

Food was delicious, varied and well priced for a fancy night out

Absolutely love going to Dessous. It ticks all the boxes, ambience, great service and amazing food. Will definitely be going back there.

Our team dinner thoroughly enjoyed the chef's tasting menu with flavours and items we haven't tried before! The vibe was perfect and quiet enough that we could carry on conversation through the night! The service was excellent and we felt taken care of! Wonderful night at Dessous!

Excellent location, venue and ambience. A great experience and will happily recommend. The set menu was delicious and creative.

The atmosphere, dining experience, and customer service were all amazing and phenomenal, truly a unique and personalized experience, thank you!

Beautiful venue, great spot for a date night or a few cocktails

Never been disappointed. Fantastic cocktails. Great service. Not much more you can ask for.

Lovely ambiance, excellent food, great service. Was wonderful to be out and about again in Melbourne. Our first time at this restaurant and we weren’t disappointed. We were celebrating our anniversary and it proved to be an ideal spot. Highly recommend the chef’s choice from the menu, you get a taste of nearly all the items on the menu. Looking forward to our next visit so we can try the wine pairing. Thanks for making our night so memorable.

Incredible menu by one of Melbourne's best chefs, Dan Sawansak. Gorgeous ambience, great staff! Definitely a favourite.

Love everything about Dessous. I couldn’t be happier with the whole dining experience.

Excellent value for money! The food was delicious and the service was attentive. Would recommend!

Amazing gem in Melbourne! Check them out!! We had a set menu and everything on it was to die for!! I especially loved the pork belly katsu sandwich

Staff are super attentive, I forgot to request a vegetarian meal and they whipped me up the most delicious main course
Wine and cocktails were amazing.
If you want great service in a gorgeous setting go here.

Desouss is an outstanding, hidden Melbourne gem. Go there for the cocktail / drink vibe and then let yourself be surprised by the terrific food.

We had a great night at Dessous. Food and drinks were amazing, set menu was the perfect amount and the time between courses was enough that you weren’t rushed. Everyone was friendly — we’ll definitely be back!

Amazing food and service. Stay were super friendly, and took plenty of time to explain the menu, including where the food was sourced from.

The set menu was really well priced. I will be back again for sure.

Beautiful space, lovely friendly service, excellent food and drinks. The perfect way to break lockdown. Thank you

They dealt with all the regulations very well. It was our first dining experience after covid and I felt very safe. The food was lovely and they paced everything very well. Really lovely experience overall!

Lovely quiet evening at Dessous with beautiful food and great service. Could have stayed longer!

Absolutely amazing restaurant. Great fitout and ambience, so much food on the set menu. Definitely value for money and a great vibe.

Excellent ambience, excellent food and great evening, thanks Dessous, we will be back

Amazing food, service and atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute.

Food was so flavourful and delicious. Love the ambiance, very cosy.
Absolute great experience. Had a birthday celebration and the chef made little surprise dessert. It was a lovely night!
Definitely would go back again!

A great night out after iso
Thanks to the team. All class

A secret hideaway now discovered, the Mulberry group are on it ✔️✔️✔️

Dessous is a quirky subterranean bar with great food and an interesting wine list. Seating was roomy and the service was slick. Short food menu is done very well and does not dissapoint. Wine prices by the glass are at the upper price end. Definitely work visiting again.

Awesome bar to watch the world go by. Great food and drinks list 👌🏼

Gorgeous and romantically-lit. Snacks that are degustation-menu quality but with an elegant diner quality too (really fun ordering a few and chatting about flavours and how fresh the bread is...for the pork sandwiches they make it upstairs at Hazel!)

Visited Dessous for after work drinks. We had a few issues finding the door, but once inside we were blown away by the moody & intimate decor. Great for a date night. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious and well priced. Staff were lovely and enthusiastic. This will become an after work local for myself and friends.

Excellent and friendly service, delicious food and unique cocktails and a great wine list!

Thanks for the complimentary dessert, had the best birthday ever !

I love the ambience but choice of food was limited especially for vegetarian.

Great bar hidden underground at the top of Hosier Lane. My 2 international friends thoroughly enjoyed the night and were welcomed by Nathan and his team warmly. The decor is dark and eclectic, with a great choice in wine and cocktails. The popcorn was delicious too! Will definitely be returning to this gem.

How cool is this place. The drinks, food, service and atmosphere were all amazing. Definitely going back.

Prices were too high to consider coming often. Food was not suitable for before dinner drinks and nibbles. Staff particularly attentive and fun.
