Book NowAbout Suze
Tucked along a quiet Fitzroy North street, Suze pairs effortless neighbourhood hospitality with serious culinary technique. Pull up a stool upstairs to watch pans flare at the open kitchen pass, or settle downstairs under dim lighting for an unhurried dinner. Regulars point newcomers straight to the warm, house-made focaccia—built for mopping up sauces—and a silky chicken liver parfait paired with pear. The kitchen handles mains with equal poise, from caramelised artichoke casarecce to delicate flounder. Front-of-house staff navigate the cellar list with ease, offering thoughtful half-pours across courses before sending out house-made Turkish delight alongside the bill.
- Open Kitchen Pass: Upstairs seats run right along the pass, giving diners a direct line of sight to chefs prepping fish and pulling focaccia from the oven.
- Considered Wine Pairings: A cellar list navigated by knowledgeable staff offering half-pour measures to complement multiple courses.
- Refined Neighbourhood Dining: Plates like house-made focaccia, chicken liver parfait, and caramelised artichoke casarecce, finished with house-made Turkish delight.

Reasons to Choose Suze
Why guests choose Suze for intimate dates, long lunches, and neighbourhood dinners
Kitchen Theater from the Upstairs Pass
Guests seated upstairs dine alongside an open kitchen pass where chefs prepare and fire dishes, adding an engaging culinary spectacle to lunch or dinner.
Watching the chefs prep fish, pull steaming focaccia out of the oven and fire up the pork chops gave the whole afternoon a bit of theatre
Chris Price (Pricey) Inventive Culinary Execution
Creative savoury touches and inventive flavor pairings—from persimmon with house ricotta to black garlic tulumba—elevate standard wine bar fare.
The flavours across all dishes were balanced, and despite some unexpected flavour profiles, were still complimentary between each plate
Victoria Warm Domestic Intimacy
Diners are welcomed like personal guests in an intimate, beautifully designed dining room rather than processed as transactional covers.
From the outside, you might miss it, but once inside, it feels like stepping into someone’s beautifully designed home.
Clare D Fine Dining Without the Pretension
The dining experience strikes an unpretentious balance, pairing fine-dining execution with relaxed, approachable Fitzroy hospitality.
It’s a restaurant and wine bar with all the trappings of a fine dining establishment but it still feels like your friend has invited you over for a glass of wine and a bite to eat.
Emile Unhurried Group Gatherings
Multi-course tasting menus for groups are paced generously so parties can converse and celebrate without pressure from table turns.
Appreciated being somewhere that didn’t rush you through your meal and deeply considered how to put your order together to optimise the experience.
Sophia Kent Attentive Solo & Bar Dining
Solo guests at the bar or small tables receive dedicated, knowledgeable recommendations from attentive front-of-house staff.
I dined solo at Suze and what a joy it was to watch the staff move and interact with guests and one another. I get the impression I received particular engagement due to my single dining status, which I appreciated.
