Overview
Sydney is known for its high-end dining experiences, but Sailmaker at Hyatt Regency is shaking things up with a more intimate and homely offering: the Kitchen Table. This new concept reimagines the traditional chef's table, inviting guests into the chef's space for an immersive dining experience where education and sustainability are at the heart of every dish.
Launching this October, the Sailmaker Kitchen Table is a celebration of locally sourced seafood, seasonal flavours, and sustainable cooking. Led by Executive Chef Sven Ullrich and his team, this dining experience goes beyond the plate, offering insights into the origins of the produce and the meticulous preparation techniques. Expect a blend of fine dining in a casual, family-style setting, where you'll witness fish butchery up close and learn interesting facts about your meal. Did you know, for instance, that barramundi are all born male and turn female when they're ready to mate?
The exclusive Kitchen Table experience is available on the last Thursday of every month until the end of summer. Spots are limited to just ten guests per seating. The evening begins with sparkling wine and canapés, followed by tapas, shared entrées, and a plated main course, all featuring seafood prepared in front of your eyes. Dessert is served via a luxe dessert trolley service adding a touch more flair to the experience. For those with dietary restrictions, don't worry — the team also serves vegan and vegetarian options made with mindful and sustainable produce. To further elevate the experience, each course is paired with fine New South Wales wines selected by Sailmaker's resident wine expert.
Sustainability plays a key role in every aspect of this experience. Hyatt Regency Sydney has implemented an impressive initiative where food waste is fed to larvae housed in a shipping container on the property, with the little critters' waste repurposed as fertiliser for the hotel's vegetable suppliers. While it's not yet a fully closed-loop system, it's an encouraging step toward reducing food waste in a meaningful way.
Whether you're a local seafood lover or a guest in town, the Sailmaker Kitchen Table offers a unique opportunity to enjoy premium dining while connecting with the stories behind your food.
Don't miss your chance to book this memorable dining experience, available for the rest of spring and summer. Head to Sailmaker's website to secure your spot.
