Suzie Q embodies the indulgence of this rich legacy, re-imagined through a modern lens and coupled with retro oriental charm, classic chinese fare and contemporary cocktails.

Our son has bought a unit very close by and has yet to move in. Thought we would check out the local restaurant beforehand. What a pleasant surprise. A bit quiet this time of the year. Lovely service, but best of all, top class pizza. Husband and son both loved it. I had pasta, and it was delicious. We will definitely be going back, many times I expect.

Hands down one of the best culinary experiences of my life. Every dish is perfectly balanced in flavour, consistency and colour. The quality of the ingredients is exceptional and the wine wilst has no end. Cannot report even the slightest issue, the staff is ready to help on every aspect and with the open space kitchen you can see everything happening all around, very tidy and clean. If I ever come back to Melbourne this will be on my MUST list and I'll definitely recommend this venue to all friends visiting the city.
