Double Bay, Sydney
From dinner to late night.
Gitano Sydney is an upscale modern-Mexican restaurant and late-night cocktail lounge in Double Bay, serving authentic Mexican cuisine from early evening into a 3am bottle-service lounge on Friday and Saturday nights.
Expect a dining room built around real Mexican cooking: guacamole and chips, birria tacos, tuna sashimi tostadas, a full vegetarian degustation, all in the $60–$140 per person range. As the kitchen slows, the same room turns into a late-night lounge with cocktails and bottle service, open to 3am on Friday and Saturday.

A dining room built for Double Bay
Gitano describes its own food, in its own words, as authentic Mexican cuisine with a late-night lounge offering cocktails and bottle service. It's a fair description of the room: dinner first, without rushing anyone toward last drinks. Guests have called out the variety on the menu, including gluten-free options, and the vibe of the room itself.
"Great service, great food, great vibe, great experience!" (Google review)

Day into night
What happens at Gitano after the kitchen slows down?
Most Double Bay restaurants pick a lane: dinner or drinks, refined dining room or late bar. Gitano runs both from the same room, on the same night. Early evening, the dining room seats a modern-Mexican menu built for a $60–$140 per person dinner: birria tacos, tuna sashimi tostadas, a full vegetarian degustation for the table that wants a real tasting menu, not a shared platter. As plates clear, the lighting drops, the music shifts, and the same tables that held dinner become the start of a late-night lounge. Cocktails replace wine pairings. Bottle service replaces the dessert menu. Outdoor seating stays open, dogs included, for the group that wants air between courses and rounds. The room holds its 3am licence Friday and Saturday, later than almost anywhere else in Double Bay, so a table booked for 7pm dinner can still be occupied at 1am, just doing something completely different.
