Martinez — Restaurant, Terrace and Bar

Express lift off Young Street. Straight into Quay Quarter Tower. Martinez is the CBD’s go-to for a sun-drenched aperitivo. Sydney's discerning lunch crowds and weekend brunchers pack the terrace daily for sweeping Harbour Bridge views and a breezy Italian-Australian menu that hits the mark. Think sprawling charcuterie boards loaded with rich hummus, pitch-perfect salt and pepper calamari, and a serious wine list. The atmosphere? Pure sprezzatura—effortlessly chic, totally welcoming. Snag an al fresco table for a golden-hour spritz, or settle into the stylish dining room. Fair warning: weekday lunch hours are notoriously slammed. Secure a booking, order a crisp white, and let the afternoon slip away.
