Book NowAbout Sezar Restaurant
Tucked down Melbourne Place, Sezar turns out modern Armenian dining with zero fuss and serious flavor. Diners gravitate to the multi-course sharing banquet—where pillowy lavash meets nutty browned-butter hummus, sweet onion dolma, and glazed lamb shoulder pulling apart at the nudge of a fork. The kitchen accommodates vegetarian and celiac restrictions seamlessly without breaking stride. Regional pours from Armenia and Lebanon anchor the beverage list, while walk-ins regularly find space alongside milestone celebrations. Dinner wraps up over a crisp square of new-style baklava beside salted caramel and toffee ice cream.
- Modern Armenian Banquets: Multi-course sharing menus feature spanner crab manti, sweet onion dolma, and pomegranate-glazed lamb shoulder.
- Regional Wine Program: Staff tailor pours to each course with rare bottles from Armenia and Lebanon.
- Laneway Hospitality: Attentive hosts seat spontaneous walk-ins alongside milestone group dinners in a laneway dining room.

Generous Multi-Course Feasts Without the Ordering Stress

Terri Lourey Modern Armenian Flavours Beyond Conventional Dining
Contemporary Middle Eastern flavours, from roasted onion dolma to browned butter hummus, present an inventive dining adventure.
The sweet onion dolma was the undisputed star, a whole roasted onion stuffed with rice, peppers, currants and grated feta, topped with fresh herbs and sitting in a pool of creamy yogurt.
The Third Bite Regional Wine Matches Featuring Lesser-Known Terroirs
Courses are enhanced by curated Armenian and Lebanese regional wines explained with deep producer knowledge.
The wine was beyond our expectations, and the staff there were extremely knowledgeable on not only the wines flavours, but on the vineyards themselves.
