Gowings bar and Grill transformed by chef Sean Connolly
Gowings Bar and Grill at QT Sydney has reopened today, presided over by chef Sean Connolly.
As the creative director, Connolly is transforming the menu at QT’s flagship restaurant from its original European brasserie style to a steakhouse inspired by New York’s Little Italy.
Connolly has previously been behind the likes of Byron's Balcony Bar and Sydney's The Morrison.
The lunch and dinner menu includes handmade pastas with a focus on seafood:
- mafaldi comes in a Fremantle octopus Bolognese
- linguini with Mooloolaba spanner crab; and
- ravioli with Skull Island prawns and Yarra Valley salmon roe.
If you fancy a splurge, try the risotto with Spoon Bay eastern rock lobster ($110).
From the grill and oven, you can order grilled kingfish, wagyu eye fillets and chicken Milanese.
A renewed focus has also been placed on the bar for a more casual dining experience.
The bar will offer up a New York cheeseburger with duck fat fries, a lobster doughnut topped with Oscietra caviar, and freshly shucked oysters.
A tight Champagne by-the-glass list and Oscietra caviar cannoli is also a highlight.
The whiskey list is several pages long and spans several regions and there is also an impressive array of gins, rums, tequilas and mezcals.
