About Gauge

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.
