A Very Merry Christmas

words by josh ives and ben stephens

Christmas is time for giving and receiving and sharing and having – a time where we have, share, receive and most of all, give. It really is the greatest time of the year. The sun is shining hotter than any other month, the beach is crowded and shopping for those last minute gifts is a headache inducing.

Here at QT Sydney we love this time of year. All the giving and the receiving (last one, I swear) gets us in the mood. From the lunch plans in Gowings Bar and Grill to the craziness that is the lead up to the 25th.

It gives us goosebumps.

You too? Cool.

To help you out, let me take you on a Christmas adventure to help you out with gifts, food and drinks – the three staples of Christmas.

Shopping
It’s a jungle out there. George and Pitt street are teaming groups of family and friends hunting for those hard to buy for presents. We recommend that you start out early. Most of the surrounding shopping precincts are open from 9am. Get up early, go for a run around the harbour, a little breakfast and then hit the shops with a plan. When it comes to wrapping up your purchases, just ask the red haired lass on the door, she’ll be sure to point you to the nearest present wrapping class or head to Westfield level 2, they’ll do it for a donation.

Food
Gone to Gowings. This year’s menu for Christmas lunch is a reflection of the opulence that the grill has become known for. Starting with a glass of Jouet Perrier and canapés, followed by a fruits de mer platter of the freshest seafood in town. Then comes the pork belly and turkey – from the test cooking’s, both are top choices. The eggnog and a QT take on the classic Christmas pudding finish off the extravagance that is the festive feast.

Drink
Pull up a stool at the Gowings bar and warm the cockles of your heart with a good stiff sherry, or maybe order up a bitterly delicious Negroni for an extra kick. The team behind the bar will be able to help you out if you’re not too sure what’s taking your pick. Also that wine list has some standout imports, perfect for this festive time of year.

From everyone at QTLife, we wish you and your fam all the best this festive season, travel safe.

#Breakfast with friends. What a perfect start to the day! #QTlife #gowingsbarandgrill #sydneyeats
