Catch the express lift off Young Street straight into Quay Quarter Tower for harbour views and terrace dining. Martinez pulls in the Circular Quay crowd for post-work drinks and breezy lunches overlooking the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Diners lean toward the outdoor tables for raw scallops in citrus vinaigrette, crisp calamari, and generous charcuterie boards stacked with house dips and warm garlic bread. In the dining room, plates of steak frites and fresh pasta keep weekday meetings moving without dragging out the afternoon. Service runs sharp and casual—the kind of floor crew that knows when to guide you through the wine list or stage a seamless milestone dinner. Settling outside with a spritz as the Bridge lights up, the noise of the CBD drops away beneath the open deck.

- Seafood & Shared Plates: A breezy fusion of Italian and Australian plates, featuring raw seafood, steak frites, and shareable charcuterie.
