A legendary team of hospitality professionals have recently opened a new wine bar in Potts Point. While this is a wine bar above all else, the succinct selection of dishes serve well as wine nibbles or a full meal.

“Dear Sainte Éloise, if you exist, please send me some money. I don’t ask for much — just enough to buy some bread and a bottle of wine”– George Orwell, Down and Out in Paris and London, 1933

While not necessarily ours (although we've all been there), we love this story. A young and desperate protagonist, destitute on the streets of Paris, praying to a photograph of a saint who is later revealed to be nothing more than a famous prostitute. It’s a funny scene with a great punchline and best of all: his wish comes true. He gets his wine and his bread, and again he is restored.

You can never underestimate the happiness that simple pleasures can provide, when a solitary glass of wine can change your entire day. That’s why we built Dear Sainte Éloise – a place of simple pleasures and replenishment, and happiness, too.
