About Saros Bar & Dining

Moonee Ponds lands city-grade European dining without the trek into the CBD. Tucked on the ground floor of The Sebel, the dining room balances warm ambient lighting with polished plates. Patrons drop in early for the 3–6pm happy hour before settling into tables for scotch fillet, rich duck ragout over pappardelle, or pork belly with crisp crackling. Desserts close out the evening with a warm olive oil cake carrying notes of caramel.

  • Aperitivo Hours & Daily Specials: Daily 3–6pm drink discounts lead into rotating weekday dinner specials and weekend fresh oysters.
  • The Sebel Ground Floor Setting: Set on the ground floor of The Sebel Melbourne Moonee Ponds, pairing hotel ease with polished neighborhood dining.
