Loved this Armenian restaurant tucked away at the end of a laneway. The food was delicious, service was friendly and the ambiance moody, industrial and funky. We ate three courses in plenty of time for our theatre booking.

Fantastic evening at the relaxed and fun Sezar with my wife. Both the food and the wait staff were fantastic. We chose the 4 course banquet based on the recommendation of our waiter and there was heaps of delicious food, so much that we couldn't...finish it. The wait staff were informative and engaging without being intrusive. Would highly recommend and we will be back for sure.More

Fabulous food, great service and ambience. Highly recommend. We had a large table and were not allowed to split the bill which made it very difficult to manage.

A somewhat grim outside and rear-of-alley location belie the happy dining joys and atmosphere that lie within Sezar. The Armenian-led, taste-packed menu is thoughtfully arranged, from smaller to larger plates that will cater to all diets and appetites: it pops with flavour and delicious combinations....The staff were well informed and helpful in describing the dishes ( we opted to chose our own dishes, but you can opt for chef's choices) – and also immensely skilled at wielding huge platters of food in a relatively small space. Standout flavours and presentation included the cured kingfish with lime and bulgur crackers, the slow-roast lamb ribs, and the pistachio malabi – but everything we tasted (or saw passing by) looked amazing. We dined here in Oct 2023,enjoyed every mouthful, and will definitely return next time we are in Melbourne. Space is a little limited, so aim for a window or corner table if you can.More

Wonderful experience! We had the lunch banquet with matching wines. Everything was superb – beautifully cooked, so fresh and such delicious flavours. Very good value for money. A delicious dessert, pistachio malabi, and the staff kindly wrote out the recipe for me.

Sensational find, a great little place tucked away down Melbourne Lane. Had the 4 x course banquet. Wonderful size servings and delicious flavours. Chef included the lamb shoulder at our request ! The only small downside for the overall price was the paired wines :-...excellent quality but felt quite miserly on the pour given the pricing. Would recommendMore

This spot is great for casual or group dining, The food is delicious, everything I tasted was amazing, from a ridiculously good humus to the spectacular desert. Amazingly large servings, and every course divine. We had the chefs choice 4 course banquet, and each course...was balanced, well considered and beautifully prepared. Moreover the hosts and staff were fabulous. Warm, welcoming and helpful. We had an amazing meal, a great night and the good vibes lasted for the rest of the long weekend. Thanks, Sezar!More

Yummy food. Friendly staff who move things along pretty quickly. Nice ambiance. Expensive wine (cheapest around $85). Some tables are too close together, those in the centre of the ground floor - waiters brushing by. Ask for one on the wall.

The food and the ambience were great but I was shocked at the portion sizes of the red meat dishes at $40+. It was a huge letdown to say the least.

Sezar is one of my favourite food YouTubers. He has a lot of variety and creativity in his videos. He explores different cultures and flavours through food. He is also very friendly and engaging with his audience. His videos make me hungry and happy.

I visited this restaurant by myself as a solo traveller, and was not disappointed by the level of hospitality and how delicious the food was. The staff went out of their way to make sure that I had a lovely meal and experience. The food,...omg, the food. Make sure you have an empty stomach when you come here. The servings are generous, especially for the price and the quality of the food is magnificent. I had the chef's 4 course selection and will be recommending it to everyone.More
