You forgot that this Thursday was the night your parents from Sydney were in Melbourne for just one night. Or maybe you and your colleague in marketing are working towards a deadline — suddenly it’s 7 pm and you both decide you’re hungry. And neither of you are in the mood to go home and prepare a meal from scratch.
Either way, you’re going out for dinner tonight and you don’t have any reservations.
You want a nice restaurant with tasty food and tables that are easy to reserve on short notice. You also don’t want a restaurant that will reduce your fortnightly paycheck down to zero, but you also want to please your picky parents, so cheap and trashy fast food is completely out of the question. Thankfully, Middle Eastern-inspired Sezar satisfies all your requirements for a memorable and delicious weekday dinner in the city — plus, we’ll even promise that you’ll be able to make this week’s rent payment.
Here are 4 more reasons why you should choose Sezar as your top pick for a last-minute dinner in Melbourne’s CBD.
Like many restaurants in Melbourne, we encourage bookings, especially during busy periods such as Friday and Saturday evenings. However, we also understand that life doesn’t always go to plan — after all, how were you supposed to know that your parents were flying in that very day or that your project was going to take a few hours longer than expected to complete?
That’s why we always set aside several tables for walk-ins for spontaneous Tinder dates. Come on in and let us treat you!
Sezar sits in Melbourne Place, a cozy laneway just off Russell Street. Our central location in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD makes it easy for office workers to get to. And for those of you who work outside the Hoddle Grid, you’ll be pleased to know that our restaurant is within easy walking distance of bus stops, tram stops and train stations. Yes, that means no more awkward Uber rides across short distances or having to walk a kilometer in heels.
We’ve all been in this situation before: we come across a busy restaurant while going for a walk. We look at their menu plastered by the door and love the sound of everything on it. The only problem is that the restaurant is so fancy and upmarket, that we don’t feel comfortable about sauntering in unannounced, without a booking. Sezar is nothing like that. We’re warm, we’re welcoming and we have the vibes to back us up. We’re all about delivering a memorable dining experience minus the attitude.
Our Middle Eastern-inspired menu speaks for itself: kataifi-wrapped lamb with creamy sesame aioli, our much-loved spanner crab manti with chilli butter and yoghurt, and our slow-cooked lamb shoulder with all the trimmings are just a few of the dishes that our diners love. We also cater for vegetarians too with the likes of our fresh grain salad with cherries, labne, sprouts and shoots or perhaps our roasted eggplant with falafel, pickled onion, labne and herbs. You are free to let us organise a banquet for your table with or without matching wines, or you may wish to choose your own a la carte options. The ball’s in your court!
