Overview
Saint Dreux has carved out a loyal following by specialising in Japanese-inspired sandos—compact yet indulgent sandwiches that are as visually striking as they are delicious. Tucked within Emporium Melbourne on Lonsdale Street, the venue caters to the city’s fast-paced CBD crowd without compromising on quality.
The menu centres on the sando, using soft shokupan (Japanese milk bread) as the base for fillings like panko-crumbed pork katsu, wagyu beef, prawn, or vegetarian options such as mushroom and eggplant. Each is paired with crisp slaw, punchy sauces, and meticulous presentation that makes them as photogenic as they are satisfying. Seasonal specials keep the offering fresh, often showcasing premium ingredients and creative flavour combinations.
To complement the food, Saint Dreux serves specialty coffee, matcha lattes, and Japanese teas. The drinks menu is as thoughtfully curated as the food, appealing to both traditionalists and those seeking something a little different.
The fit-out is minimal and elegant, with clean lines, dark timber, and a hint of Japanese modernism. While seating is limited, the efficient service and high turnover make it an ideal quick lunch option for city workers, shoppers, and visitors wanting a quality meal on the move.
Saint Dreux proves that convenience doesn’t have to mean compromise—bringing a touch of Tokyo to Melbourne’s CBD, one perfect sando at a time.
