Located at the heart of the Walsh Bay Arts Precinct, Walsh Bay Kitchen provides the perfect pre-theatre dinner experience to compliment an evening at Sydney Theatre Company's iconic Roslyn Packer Theatre.

The restaurant showcases locally sourced produce and premium Australian meat and seafood through a light, Mediterranean-inspired Prix Fixe menu guided by the seasons. Menu price is $65 for 2-course or $78 for 3-course. The drinks menu features an all-Australian wine list as well as Champagne, cocktails, beers, ciders and a substantial non-alcoholic offering.

The restaurant is operated in partnership with the Fresh Collective, bringing their signature love of the arts, food and service from the neighbouring Theatre Bar At The End of the Wharf.
Walsh Bay Kitchen is the perfect way to round out a great night at the theatre.

The steak was tough and inedible. The wait staff did not respond positively to my complaint and no attempt was made to address my concern.

After a previously good dining experience, we were terrible disapponted. The entree had no taste and the smoked salmon had past the use by date by a day or too. The chicken dish for the main came out cold The serving of lettuce you couldn’t extract from the bowl I appreciate this is quick turnaround pre-theatre dining but you were harassed all the time to order etc. we had allowed two hours so had plenty of time. Won’t be back.

I booked at WALSH BAY KITCHEN as I wanted a Restaurant close to the Roslyn Packer Theatre as I was going to see a matinee show there which started a 1pm. I made the right decision as this Restaurant is actually attached to this Theatre and opened at 11.30am. The Staff are very welcoming, friendly and make you feel at home as soon as you step in the door. They are very professional, helpful, courteous and have great knowledge. The food is superb, and I enjoyed my Main Course and Dessert which were beautifully presented and tasted great. The Drinks Menu was extensive and refreshing which added to the whole Dining experience as as well. Overall, my experience dining at WALSH BAY KITCHEN was FIRST CLASS and everything was excellent. I look forward to dining there again as soon as possible in the future. I thoroughly recommend this Restaurant for the BEST Dining Experience. I give it 10 Stars********** Thank you.
