Situated on High St. Kew,
Dawson is a modern all day
restaurant and bar serving up
delicious Italian food for lunch,
dinner and everything
in-between.

Dawson opened in 2017 and seats 100 guests in a slick but relaxed dining area with a long bar, a semi-open kitchen and high ceilings with light wells.

Since then, head chef Majid Jreige has been serving both quality interpretations of classic dishes and daring new dishes. Dawson’s menu has had many reincarnations over the years as we always try and keep our menu fresh and exciting for our locals.

Whether it’s a boozy lunch with friends, date night or something more serious; we promise fresh, top quality food and friendly service.
