Seamstress

  • Bar
  • Restaurant

Seamstress offers a vibrant, innovative dining and drinking experience, recreating the atmosphere of 19th-century Chinatown in a building with a past.

Rickety old stairs lead up to the intimate dining space, where appetising aromas emerge from the kitchen. The cuisine is modern pan-Asian, with subtle influences from around the world, in both technique and flavour.

Above the dining room is Seamstress Cocktail Bar, a Prohibition-style bar where ice spheres are hand-carved for the selection of premium spirits and juices are pressed daily for the contemporary cocktails.

On the floor beneath Seamstress, pop in to Sweatshop for a cool bar, late-night DJs and courtyard drinks.
