Dessous

  • Bar
  • Restaurant

Located in the heart of the city on Flinders Lane, Dessous is a Thai restaurant and cocktail bar in the basement of the historic Richard Allen & Son building.

An underground bar like no other. Old World decor meets a new wave of Thai-accented cuisine alongside signature cocktails.

The perfect subterranean spot to linger late. Perch at the long marble-topped bar or sink into a booth and enjoy an intimate space of moody shadows and lamplight, bright flavours and vibrant music.
