Recommended Restaurants Walking Distance from Hyatt Regency Hotel Sydney

Hyatt Regency Hotel Sydney is located on Sussex Street on the western edge of the Sydney city CBD, overlooking Darling Harbour. While the hotel has 4 internal restaurants to choose from, there are also loads more restaurants walking distance from the hotel. The restaurants in the Hyatt Regency are the Sailmaker which is located next to the foyer, Jackalberry which is at the front of the hotel, Dundee Arms which is a historical pub also located at the front of the hotel and the awesome Zephyr which is the best rooftop in Sydney. I can highly recommend the Wagyu Beef Sliders at Zephyr. Read more about Zephry Rooftop Bar. Also check out all the dining restaurants at the Hyatt Regency Sydney.

Here are a choice of restaurants walking distance from the Hyatt Regency Hotel Sydney. These vary from cheap eat restaurants, to fine dining experiences:

Menya Japanese Noodle Bar

Menya is my favourite cheat eat noodle bar, located just 170 meters away from the Hyatt Regency. From the front door of the Hyatt, turn to the right, walk down to the first intersection, turn left and you will find Menya behind that large blue skyscraper at 1 Market Street. Menya specialize in ramen noodle soups but they have plenty of other Japanese dishes like gyoza dumplings or Japanese katsu curry.

I call this my Hidden Gem restaurant in Sydney. Read more about Menya Japanese Noodle Bar.

Medusa Greek Taverna

Located directly across from Menya Japanese Noodle Bar is the awesome Greek restaurant Medusa which has been serving up classic greek food for more than 40 years. This is the place to come for a tradtional Greek feast. I highly recommend the Roast Lamb Shoulder, the chicken souvlaki plate and the fried calamari. Delicious.

El Loco Mexican at Slip Inn

Just 170 meters (2 minutes walk) from the Hyatt Regency is the famous Slip Inn which serves up some insane Mexican food from their El Loco Mexican Cantina. From the hotel turn to the left and El Loco is on on the next corner. El Loco at Slip Inn in Sydney serves bold, flavorful Mexican-inspired street food, including tacos, quesadillas, nachos, and fresh guacamole with a fun, casual vibe.

Tao Cantonese Restaurant

Tao Restaurant is an awesome Chinese restaurant serving modern Cantonese food, located just 2 blocks up from the Hyatt Regency Hotel, on Clarence. This is just 400 meters, less than 5 minutes walk from the hotel. Just walk up Market Street, then turn to the left on Clarence Street and you will find Tao.

Their menu has a great range of Yum Cha style dumplings and plenty of other Cantonese dishes. One of my favourites is the Crispy Skin Chicken. The prices are reasonable and servings are large. This restaurant is very high class, like a fine dining restaurant but without the fine dining prices. Read more about Tao Cantonese Restaurant.

Kingsleys Steakhouse

Kingsleys is the best steakhouse in Sydney! They have been running their steakhouse restaurants since 1994 and is a true fine dining restaurant. The prices are not cheap but if you are looking for the best steak in Sydney city, then you cannot go wrong with a steak at Kngsleys. The restaurant is located within an old historical sandstone building that dates back to 1833.

All the steak at Kingsley is high quality Australian Beef. Located just 170 meters or 2 minutes walk from the Hyatt Regency. At the front of the hotel, turn to the left, turn right at the first intersection King Street and you will find Kingsley down a small alley way off King Street about 50 meters after you turn into King Street.

Primi Traditional Italian Restaurant

Located 2 streets up, on Clarence Street, pretty much directly inline with the hotel, is the awesome Primi Traditional Italian Restaurant. I had one of the best pizza from here, it was so good! They do all the classic Italian dishes from pizza, pasta, steak and seafood. I can highly recommend the pizza. I just did a take-away pizza and brought it back to my hotel room to eat. It only took 7 minutes from the time I ordered, to when they brough out the pizza and I was out the door. Great service and very tasty pizza!

The Sambal is another cheap eat restaurant located on Kent Street, just 400 meters or 4 minutes walk from the hotel. They serve a range of Indonesian dishes from the various islands of Indonesia. One of the my favourite dishes here is the Gulai Ayam which is a Chicken Curry that comes from Padang in West Sumatra.

This is a very casual dining restaurant with very cheap prices. You can get a meal here for around $15. Read more about The Sambal Indonesian Restaurant.
