Parlour Lane Vamps up the Classics with New Menu

Parlour Lane Roasters, QT Sydney's bustling street side café and wine bar, is heating up the CBD's vibrant food and small bar scene this season by launching a brand new menu that celebrates the best of winter café fare and brings all the cult classics back to the Sydney CBD.

Serving hotel guests and passers-by on the Market Street level, Parlour Lane Roasters offers a tantalising brew and casual bite from breakfast to late afternoon before transforming into a vibrant aperitivo wine bar from dusk.

The cosy space offers a fast, uncomplicated menu and quality All Press coffee. The new menu sees the return of the café classic, with the signature QT twist. On the menu for lunch will be Parlour Sandwiches which includes the iconic chicken sandwich, served on a Sonoma baguette with celery, walnuts and lemon mayonnaise. Other sandwich staples on the menu include the Reuben Roll, Classic Tuna Sandwich and the Parlour Old School Vego Club, which are all made with the exclusively produced Sonoma breads and Pepe Saya butter.

No café menu would be complete without a burger, and Parlour Lane does not disappoint on this front, offering two mouth-watering burgers to whet the appetite of meat lovers; the Parlour Beef Burger with fried onion, American cheese on a brioche bun with house made pickles and theParlour Chicken Burger featuring free range chicken with rocket pesto, thick-cut tomato on a brioche bun with a side of iceberg lettuce.

The menu also has a range of salads, as well as real winter warmers including Minestrone Soup. Chicken Soup, Rigatoni Sausage, Calamari, and a hearty Lasagne.

As evening approaches, the skilled baristas will make way to wine aficionados who will be on hand to guide quaffers to the perfect vino or one of the eight negronis on the menu. To accompany the extensive drinks list, Parlour Lane has also devised a grazing menu which includes; Farmers Plate, Salumi Plate, Prosciutto Plate and Cheese Board, featuring the best small goods and cheese available to Sydney. 

The new menu has been developed by QT Sydney's Creative Food Director Robert Marchetti and Executive Chef Paul Easson, who both bring to life the classic dishes by using free range and organic meats, and an unpretentious approach to cafe-style dining with European and American influence.

Parlour Lane sits within the expertly restored heritage State Theatre building and features original display cabinets, reinstated as mid-century design artefacts that are utilised as an exhibition space, showcasing artworks curated by famed Sydney stylist Jane Frosh.
