Martinez Sydney

Martinez sits at the ground level of the Quay Quarter Tower, with its primary entrance tucked just off Young Street. It is a five-minute walk from Martin Place and holds one hat from the 2025 Australia Good Food Guide. The menu draws from Mediterranean and seafood traditions, presented in a room that runs smart and elegant.

Choosing Martinez over the city’s other Mediterranean rooms comes down to geography. While most Sydney restaurants in this category lean on the frantic energy of the harbourfront, Martinez benefits from its position within the tower’s lobby. It offers a measured, professional pace that the nearby tourist-heavy spots lack. You go here for the specific, polished rigor of a one-hat kitchen, rather than the scenery or the bustle that defines the rest of the street.
