  • A glamorous couple enjoying a drink and gourmet food at a shiny booth with a marble table.
  • Dining room interior, with burgundy booths and arched mirrors at back wall, well set tables in foreground.
  • A woman wearing a black blazer seated at a burgundy booth and marble table, with a cocktail in her hand and a plate with a decadent chocolate tart in front of her.
  • A plate of four shucked oysters on a bed of salt, with two champagne glasses on a marble table.

Dolly

  • Restaurant
  • Fine dining

Descend the art deco staircase to discover Dolly – an underground restaurant and cocktail bar channelling retro glamour and theatrical flair. Indulgent and romantic, the moody 1930s backdrop thoroughly evokes the mystique of the backstage.

Inspired by the golden age of film and cinema, each plate emerges as a perfect vignette. Under the direction of Executive Chef Hervé Borghini, nostalgic European flavours dazzle with seasonal ingredients and artful presentation.

Start with freshly shucked oysters served with Champagne sorbet, move on to the signature beef wellington, and finish with a decadent bombe alaska torched tableside.

Stop by for a prompt prix fixe pre-theatre menu from 5pm to 6pm, or settle into a booth and get lost in the night.
