From the moment my wife and I entered we felt that this was going to be a special evening and we were not to be disappointed. We had arrived for restaurant week and the food was outstanding - taste, flavor, portion size and presentation were spot on in our opinion. Our waitress was especially attentive to our every need and we kept on getting wonderful surprise after surprise from the kitchen. The wine list was also excellent with quality on every page at accessible prices. It felt special in every way and delivered in buckets. Cannot rate our experience more highly.

Service was lovely. The tasting menu was a variety to lovely, delicious food, very filling and kept coming. Wine ranges from affordable to pricey but there are options for every budget.

I had lunch at Dash. When we arrived, we were greeted by friendly staff and the fireplace created a wonderful ambiance.

The food was exceptional and the service was outstanding. The drinks were also very tasty.

I highly recommend Dash Restaurant and Bar to people who want to experience fine dining.

Great, professional and friendly service! We were greeted and helped immediately as we walked in, the ambience of the restaurant is great, with modern sleek finishes. The 3 course meal was great! I was very happy with my choices - Thai Duck Noodle starter (surprised that it is actually served cold), the main meal was out of this world! Cooked to perfection fillet steak, with poached egg and hollandaise sauce served with delicious hand cut chips and a side veg. STUNNING. Then, for dessert I ordered the slow roast pineapple with coconut ice cream - I was super impressed with the taste of the slow roasted pineapple, what a delight! Wish the coconut ice cream scoop was a litttlllee bigger as that was just amazing. Shoutout the Dash chef and team! You guys will definitely be seeing me again.

About Dash Restaurant & Bar

Dash Restaurant and Bar


​While Dash caters to guests of the Queen Victoria Hotel, it is also a stand-alone restaurant and bar that encourages patrons from near and far to enjoy its delectable cuisine. The bar is the perfect after-work drinks venue, with an extensive selection of single-malt whiskies and wines. The gleaming mirror ceilings and double-sided fireplace enhance the prevailing sense of wonder, together with the panoramic view in front of you.


The menu at Dash is beautifully curated by the newly appointed Head Chef, Ashraf Arendse. The inspiration behind his new menu was the use of simple ingredients paired with bold flavours, presented in a striking manner. This makes for an unmissable dining experience.


The interiors of Dash complement the sense of drama achieved with the contents of the uneven, oval-shaped plates. The artwork is supplied by the Everard Read Gallery across from the Portswood precinct and every few months it is replaced with new work by local artists. The parquet wooden flooring, black leather seats, quirky black Gregor Jenkin tables, and other-worldly mirrored wall unite to create an intimate and provocative space. We believe that going out to dine should be a formal occasion and have a theatrical element to it. Between the aesthetically pleasing dishes and the dramatic interiors of Dash, this principle is expertly executed.
