SUD Food and Wine 555 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne, Victoria 3000

"Love the place. The staff there is the best. Friendly and make you relax as soon as you step in the front door. I don’t know much about wine but am impressed by the pages long wine list and the knowledge and passion of the staff. Come again after two weeks…. Feel even better. More drinks and thanks to Vin and the team to recommend dishes and wine pairing. Wonderful experience!!"

"The staff are caring, competent, and professional. The food was good and I wanted to try more. I felt that the flavours were not balanced well enough on some dishes. Oyster dressing was too sour, and beef carpaccio needed a bit of salt. It was very close to 5 stars but not quite yet. The pasta dish was amazing and the prawns were so fresh. The creme bluree was average. I really enjoyed the wines the waiters recommended as well. Prices were very reasonable."

"I had the best night at SUD Food and Wine thanks to the amazing people who work there. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly and genuine, taking the time to explain the menu and even cracking a few jokes to make us laugh. It was clear that they put a lot of effort into making our experience special, and we really appreciated it. But of course, the food and wine were also amazing. The menu was full of delicious options, and everything we tried taste great. I think what really made the night for us was the whole experience. Sometimes it's not just about the food, but about the people and the atmosphere. And at SUD, we felt so welcomed and well taken care of. We left feeling full, happy, and grateful for such a wonderful evening. Thanks so much to the whole team - we can't wait to come back!"

"It's a nice little fancy Italian restaurant. Service was exceptional - very friendly staff all round, from their sommelier, to their waiters, even the chef individually plated our mains as we decided we would share one of them between the 3 of us (in addition to other entrees). Everything was delicious! The place may feel small, but it's big on character, a very welcoming and happy place to complement the wonderful meals ❤️"

"My wife and I had a very enjoyable dinner at SUD on a Friday night. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, a precursor to very friendly and attentive service all night. The menu has plenty of choices and our server assisted us with our selection. Their description of the quail special convinced us to try that. The wine list had plenty of quality Australian options but we decided to try an Italian wine. I could recognise a few varieties but our server was very helpful asking us what we liked about wines and then making a recommendation which on tasting delighted us. The food arrived at regular intervals and everything was excellent, particularly the quail dish. The accompanying sourdough was lovely and we ate too much of it, using it to wipe up the excess sauce on our plates. We finished off by sharing the chocolate pyramid dessert with coffee. Overall an outstanding dining experience."
