Gowings CBD

Gowings CBD, where dining comes with a side of theatre

Tucked inside QT Sydney, Gowings brings together the drama of a classic New York steakhouse with the warmth and energy of Little Italy. Flames leap from the kitchen, martinis are wheeled tableside and handmade pasta shares the spotlight with premium steaks, seafood and bold Italian-inspired dishes. It’s polished and theatrical, but never takes itself too seriously.

Set inside the beautifully transformed former Gowings department store, the restaurant is just as much about the atmosphere as what’s on the plate. Quirky artwork, Art Deco details, bespoke furniture and an open kitchen create a space that feels lively from the moment you walk in. By day, it’s an impressive setting for a long CBD lunch; by night, the lights dim and the energy shifts into something a little more dramatic.

Whether you’re stopping in for a quick drink, settling in for dinner or making a night of it before heading to the theatre, Gowings has a way of turning any occasion into an event. Come for the steaks and handmade pasta, stay for the tableside martinis, crackling flames and that unmistakable buzz that keeps the dining room humming long into the night.
