Dear Sainte Éloise - Potts Point

This is a truly charming little place! The server we had was very friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about (of course) wine! She gave our group great recommendations and we all left happy with our wine choices. We also had the goat ragu over pasta, the fried zucchini flowers, and the burrata all absolutely delicious. And the blood plum ricotta tart for dessert was sublime. Well worth a visit!

The perfect wine bar in a perfect spot. It's got a cool vibe, great service, they offer free sparkling water (love that) and a super interesting and extensive wine list, with lots of glasses at the $10-$12 mark which is pretty good for East Sydney. Made me want to come back for food (and more wine). I will... Stay tuned.

Waterman 's Lobster Co is out and the team from Love Tilly Devine have now opened a cosy little wine bar called Dear Sainte Eloise. Sydney Rock Oysters from Wapengo Lake $4) come with an interesting fermented horseradish which works well in moderation. Oysters are shucked to order with noticeable brine. Would have loved a slice of lemon as well to mix things up on the palate. The lovely sommelier Jasmin Natterer recommended the Envinate, 2014 'Taganan ' Vinos Atlanticos Blanco, Canary Islands, Spain to stand up to the richness of flavours and I agree. Thanks for the suggestion and complimentary glass which seems to be only available by the bottle. Smoked mussels on toast $14) comes on a highly charred bread for extra flavour and those plump mussels so good with the tasty broth that 's best mopped up with some extra Bread $4). Burrata with charred bread and mint $20) is a generous amount of burrata which I think can be shared between two. I found the extra bread helpful in finishing. Background music is well chosen, decor is nice, seating neighbourly and cosy, and service was friendly and helpful. The passion for good wine is evident. The limited menu will certainly tempt a small group to want to order everything to try.

Booked a last minute dinner here with a friend on Saturday evening and everything was perfect. We had the set menu which was fairly priced at $75 per head for 3 courses and each dish that came out was delicious! They catered to our dietaries without any issues at all. The service was also great and the wine was beautiful. The whole vibe that Dear Saint Eloise offers is a lot of fun but also relaxing. Thanks again guys! We will be back :

There are no rules when it comes to good wine and food! If you are looking for a wine bar with delicious food, this is for you.
