Why Diners Choose Glass Brasserie

How Glass Brasserie pairs heritage George Street views with signature dining and attentive service

  • Iconic 13-Metre Window Views of the QVB

    Towering 13-metre glass windows showcase direct panoramic views of the historic Queen Victoria Building lit up across George Street.

    Their 13 metre floor to ceiling windows (the feature that inspired the restaurant’s namesake) look straight out to the Queen Victoria Building, lit up at night and it’s absolutely stunning.

  • Chef-Curated Banquets and Pairings

    Multicourse dining with fresh oysters, caviar, charcoal lobster, and bespoke sommelier wine pairings elevates milestone celebrations.

    Fresh oysters with caviar, a beautifully balanced king crab & sweet corn soup, and the charcoal-grilled eastern lobster were definite highlights — especially the lobster pasta, full of flavour and richness.

  • Relaxed, Familiar Luxury

    Grand architecture, warm lighting, and unhurried hospitality deliver an easy sense of comfort without fine dining pretension.

  • Effortless Table Layouts for Groups

    Spacious round tables and versatile multi-generational dining let large groups and families gather and converse effortlessly.

    The round tables allow everyone to engage in the conversation. The food was delicious with my 3 favorites being the hapoke fish fillet, the fried cuttlefish and the cheese platter.

  • Extensive Sommelier-Curated Cellar

    A floor-to-ceiling 3,500-bottle cellar curated by sommeliers offers varied varietals that accommodate diverse palates across gatherings.

    The expansive space also showcases hundreds of wines in the floor to ceiling wine wall and on this evening, our meals were perfectly matched with some outstanding varietals

  • Sydney rock oysters

    beautiful Sydney rock oysters are brought to the table. Both natural, and Mignonette, we had to be mindful not to have too many, knowing this was just the start of an incredible menu to come.
