The Gauge Story
Gauge in South Brisbane is one of Queensland's most original restaurants — a fermentation-forward kitchen that preserves, pickles, and ages its way to extraordinary flavour complexity. Chef Ben Williamson's seasonal menus are driven entirely by what's best at the farmers market, resulting in a constantly evolving dining experience. The 85-label wine list earned an AWLOTY Two Glasses (83/100), with a deep commitment to natural, minimal-intervention producers from Australia and Europe who share the kitchen's philosophy.

“The aged koji-cured pork with fermented mushroom jus is brilliantly complemented by a savoury, earthy Pinot Noir from Mornington Peninsula — the forest floor complexity echoes the umami depth of the dish.”
