The Galeries

I really love The Galeries, and it is a place I visit often. It has so many great tasting restaurants and eateries as well as a range of different shops. I find it not only a great place to meet friends but also to explore on my own. Despite how busy it can be, the centre is very clean and well managed.

A decent sized shopping centre containing the underground food court (mainly with east asian options), the ground level department stores, level 1 restaurants and level 2 book stores + gym. It connects to QVB and Town Hall station; as well as Park St. Its also fully wheelchair accessible due to lifts. However, escalators are often out of use, requiring individuals to use stairs to change floors.

Fantastic foodie destination with a great selection in the food courts. Gram and Dulcet are worth a mention. The centre has at least one lift for those with mobility issues.

The Galeries is a cozy shopping mall in the heart of Sydney CBD with some great brands. Also, it offers a great variety of cafes, chocolate shops, and decent restaurants. I love the layout of the mall and the internal design. Definitely a nice mall to visit close to Queen Victoria Building and quite cool to explore around.

Cheers pancakes and cafe in the galeries was fantastic had to wait for about 10 minutes to get a table which was fine and ordering is at the table or counter great menu and large meals share size

🛠 🪛💡Outstanding Maintenance Team at Galeries Victoria, Sydney 🛠🪛💡 If you're lucky enough to work or shop at Galeries Victoria, you've likely seen the quiet brilliance of Barry, Greg, and Sam the powerhouse maintenance trio who keep the place humming with precision and care. From the moment a light flickers to the rare hiccup in infrastructure, these legends are already on it often before tenants even notice. Their proactive approach is second to none, anticipating needs, preventing issues, and ensuring the environment remains safe, functional, and welcoming for all. But what truly sets them apart is their attitude. Supportive, approachable, and always ready with a solution (sometimes with a smile), Barry, Greg, and Sam make every tenant feel heard and valued. Whether it's a routine check or an urgent fix, they respond with professionalism, warmth, and genuine pride in their work. Their presence is the backbone of Galeries Victoria’s operational excellence and their commitment to tenant wellbeing deserves every bit of recognition. Hats off to this exceptional team!

If I could give lass than one star I would, bathrooms are disgusting and smell absolutely rancid from even walking past the hallway they’re located in. Used sanitary products dumped on floor, urine all over the seats and blocked sinks. For such a high traffic area in our beautiful city they need to be doing much better than this. Will be shopping at Westfield and world square from now, much cleaner.

A very smart, stylish shopping destination which is always a cultural experience too. Over four levels of high quality international and local retailers. Also a range of services including cafes, restaurants, hairdressing, a dental clinic and optometry. The Galeries also has frequent art installations supporting cool emerging artists. Easy access to the Galeries from George Street, Pitt Street and well as underneath access into Town Hall Station.

I was staying at a nearby hotel and came here after checking out of my room. I wanted to grab something to eat for lunch before heading out to the airport. Ultimately, I decided to eat at Yayoi, a Japanese restaurant up on floor 1. Since they didn't open until 11:30 am for lunch, I took the time to check out each floor to see what stores and restaurants were available. This was a modern looking shopping mall. There were a good variety of stores on each floor. There was a Fitness First gym and Kinokuniya bookstore up on floor 2. There was a nice food gallery with several different choices down in the lower ground level as well as an underground passage over to the Queen Victoria Building. This was a nice place to do a little window shopping, eat some food, or just to hang out with your friends.

I went to The Galeries for Hotto Motto Bento box restaurant, Yayoi Japanese Restaurant, Ichibanboshi Japanese Restaurant, Muji, Kinokuniya and...... This place is so cool and so many nice shops are there. I cannot finish looking around all shops because of so many. That means I should keep coming to check it out! I like this shopping complex very much. However, I didn't see any map or information for the tenants. If there is a map or floor information, it must be very helpful and makes us much much easier to find new business. Good: very new, clean and noise level is not interrupted Room for improvement: floor information (I had little idea where I can find what)

If you're heading to the city for shopping, stop by The Galeries. Linking up to the Queen Victoria Building, it's got an awesome range of shops including Incu, Nu + Nan and JB HiFi. Whether you're after skincare and make-up (The Body Shop, Mecca), food (Ichiban Boshi, Arthouse Hotel), clothes (Alphaville, Mooks), books (Kinokuniya) or knick-knacks (Via Alley), The Galeries delivers. It often has some great exhibitions on too, such as the recent Where & What photography exhibition and Curvy live art battles.

So I'm from Minnesota living in Sydney for a year with my boyfriend (who works for a software company.) We frequent the Carhartt in Darlinghurst and love the service and have bought multiple pairs of jeans for him from there (he loves the Klondike!) Today we went to the Town Hall and the associates there barely noticed us walk in (maybe two other customers shopping) and until I ASKED for service he barely helped with color and style selection and after the jeans that the sales associate recommended didn't fit he said 'well have a good day' and walked away. WE CAME TO SPEND MONEY. So we will go to Darlignhurst from here on out.

The Galeries is located across George Street from another of Sydney's impressive shopping area, the Queen Victoria Buildings. Luckily, these two shopping centres are chalk and cheese - The Galeries is most definitely the cooler cousin of The Queen Victoria Building. An open-air set up gives you the sense that you're not actually in a shopping centre, which I love - for me, going to the mall is its own special kind of hell. There's also a range of cool and quirky shops there that are geared to provide the twenty-something set with a bangin' outfit for the weekend. In fact, anyone who doesn't identify with that demographic will probably have a hard time finding a shop that they'd enjoy perusing at TGV - Superdry and Kookai just aren't for the same set that shops across the road at Burberry.. Having said that, the wonderful Mecca Cosmetics provides high-quality makeup for most everyone.. There is also a great coffee shop, a cool bookstore and basically anything that anyone who's ever even slightly identified with the hipster movement could ever dream of. If that's you, then run, don't walk, to The Galeries
