About Sailmaker Restaurant

Inside the Hyatt Regency on Sussex Street, Sailmaker turns harborside dining into an abundant feast anchored by sustainable local seafood. Sydney diners head here for the multi-course Seafarer dinner, matching plated Skull Island prawns or pan-roasted Murray cod with free run of an unlimited Mediterranean tapas table. Baskets of crusty warm bread land with kombu sesame butter before mains arrive, followed by a dessert cart rolled directly to your table—where waitstaff caramelize sweets with a blowtorch right before your eyes.

  • Seafarer Dining Format: Plated seafood mains like Murray cod pair with unlimited sourdough and self-serve Mediterranean tapas.
  • Tableside Dessert Cart: Waitstaff wheel a dedicated cart to the table, finishing selections with a blowtorch before serving.
  • Attentive Table Care: Floor staff pace multi-course services smoothly and mark milestones with personalized handwritten cards.

    The toothfish was an absolute highlight — cooked just right with a melt-in-your-mouth texture and a rich, buttery flavor that still felt light.
