Gowings has quietly mastered the art of the comeback—just when you think you’ve had your fill, a new menu drops and suddenly you’re planning your next visit (again).

If you needed a reason to revisit this QT Sydney institution, consider the new Autumn-Winter menu your sign. Gowings has always marched to the beat of its own drum—equal parts art-filled brasserie, Italian-leaning grill, and old-school hospitality—the new seasonal offering makes a compelling case to book a long lunch or moody dinner in the heart of the city, pronto.

They’ve just dropped their Autumn-Winter menu and it’s full of the kind of dishes you want to eat as the weather gets cooler. Think baked Mooloolaba prawns swimming in garlic and lemon, buttery scallops with pistachio pesto, and a duck and porcini lasagna that’s rich and deeply comforting. They’re still doing that classic Caesar salad made tableside (always a bit of a moment), and the carved-at-your-table steaks are as much about the spectacle as they are about the flavour.

Tucked inside the QT Sydney, this moody, art-filled dining room is part gallery, part New York grill, part Italian trattoria, and all theatre. Expect personality-packed service, a playlist with swagger, and a wine list that keeps up. Whether you’re sliding into a booth for date night or gathering the gang for a long lunch, Gowings delivers something special every time—bold plates, a killer atmosphere, and that signature QT flair.

Consider this your cue to revisit an institution that’s anything but stuck in the past. Gowings is back for the cooler months—and it’s serving heat. Book your table here.
