About the restaurant

As the days grow longer and the evenings warmer, Dose Coffee transforms into Dose After Dark — a seasonal dining experience offered Thursday through Saturday evenings all summer long.

Led by Head Chef Ivan Blackwell (you may remember him from Alfred’s), and joined by Alasdaur Aitken, the kitchen presents a Mediterranean-inspired menu full of vibrant, shareable dishes.

Our curated wine list features a thoughtful selection of old-world wines and inventive spins on classic cocktails — perfect for pairing and patio sipping.

The patio offers an alfresco dining experience whilst the inside dining space offers a more intimate atmosphere close to the action of the kitchen.

Dose After Dark launches Friday, June 13 and runs through to mid-September. Reservations are strongly encouraged, though we always keep space for walk-ins.

Good atmosphere, excellent food and services. Only recommendation is to point visitors towards the hotel entrance instead of the main doors during brunch time.

Great little bistro under the Granville St/ Bridge. We've been coming here since it opened and although the menu is limited, the quality is always great. Staff are wlecoming and attentive. When the weather heats up there is a small paito outside on the pedestrian walkway.
