Bowery Lane, Sydney

After the meat fest last week I was hesitant if I wanted to consume another meat heavy meal but hey who was I kidding, I’m always up for a good meat-ing (hurhur). My partner in crime suggested hitting up newly opened Bowery Lane (Shop 1, Level 4, 1 O’Connell St, Sydney) because he’d been eyeing off a mega rib and they did milkshakes and oh boy I heart milkshakes!


Bowery Lane is open for breakfast if you’re in need of your coffee and eggs fix but swing by for lunch (and soon, dinner) cos that’s where all the action is! Make your way past the coffee counter if you’re dining in, or head through the 1 O’Connel lobby and feast your eyes on the incredible display at the takeaway area.


Mmm life extending foods


Hot, soul comforting foods


But I only had eyes for the MEGA BOWL OF CRACKLE!! Apparently you can get a piece of crackle to go with your lunch mmm


But we were here to eat in so back into the dining room we go where there’s cosy booths and communal dining.


We start with Milkshakes ($7)- Hershey’s Cookies & Cream and Reece’s Peanut Butter Cup, I loved the bonus whole piece of chocolate balanced on top of the glasses, yay for chocolate! The cookies & cream was perfect but I wished the peanut butter cup was more peanut buttery because I am a peanut butter fiend and my motto is you can never have too much peanut butter. Or chocolate. Or bacon.


LOOK AT HOW IT GLISTENS! This baby is the 1Kg Braised Wagyu Short Rib ($58) and I spent about a minute just ogling and basking it its beauty. As usual, I will fail you guys in the “describing food” department but trust me, the rib is all kinds of amazing. Fatty and oh so tender I wished I could keep on eating and just hold the memory of deliciousness in my mind forever.


This wasn’t a deliberate innards shot, more of a ‘jabbed a fork at it and oops’ shot. But look at how tender that looks! And the horseradish cream was awesome, creamy without being overly rich and spicy enough to clear the nostrils but not crazy in your face burning.


Raff really rates the New York Cheeseburger ($18) with a juicy wagyu patty, monteray jack cheese, tomato, cos, caramelised onion and fries but honestly I only had eyes for the rib.


I ordered a side of Roast Pumpkin ($9) with oregano and parmesan because I felt guilty from the meat overload and wanted some vitamins. I heart parmesan but the pumpkin didn’t really need the added flavour because pumpkin is already mega tasty ya’know?


We were almost successful in finishing the mega rib but had to stop eating because we really wanted dessert. The Ice Cream Sandwich ($13) had caught my eye because well, ICE CREAM SANDWICH!!! I loved the slices of soft gingerbread hugging together rich chocolate ice cream but I wasn’t super keen on the chocolate poached pear mainly because I don’t like cooked fruits but that’s just me bro.


The Strawberry Shortcake ($13) is pretty as a picture and super refreshing. There were shards of crisp meringue and pieces of hazelnut shortcake and the combo of vanilla bean ice cream with macerated berries tasted like summer!

I wish I worked on this end of town so that I can eat here every day but I’ll definitely be back for that rib!
