Parlour CBD

You'll find Parlour at the bottom of QT Sydney, where it gives the classic French bistro a distinctly modern edge. Warm lighting, Art Deco details and bustling tables set the scene for steak frites, generous small plates and martinis with plenty of personality. It’s effortlessly stylish without feeling too formal. The kind of place that works just as well for a spontaneous drink as it does for a long, leisurely dinner.

There’s an easy rhythm to Parlour that makes it hard to leave after just one. Start with an aperitif, work your way through the menu and settle into the cosy, low-lit dining room as the night picks up around you. From intimate date nights that start as "just one drink" then roll into dinner to after-work drinks and late-night drinks after the theatre, it moves seamlessly from one occasion to the next.

Whether you’re perched at the bar for a martini or gathered around the table sharing plates with friends, Parlour feels polished, playful and full of character. It’s the kind of CBD spot you stumble across once, return to often and eventually start recommending to everyone, even though a part of you wants to keep it all to yourself.
