Book NowAbout Collins Kitchen
Perched at the Paris end of Collins inside the Grand Hyatt, this open-plan room trades routine hotel fare for serious flame and smoke. Diners make a beeline for the grill—scotch fillet seared to order, charred octopus, and Moreton Bay bug rolls on housemade Parker buns. The cadence is simple: start with the wagyu tartare, crunch through fried brussels sprouts, and leave real estate for a slab of signature tiramisu that easily spans the table. For milestone celebrations, floor staff quietly deliver handwritten dessert plates, macarons, and candid Polaroid snaps straight to deep booths overlooking the street.

- Interactive High Tea: Multi-tiered afternoon tea pairs savory courses with an interactive live dessert station turning out custom made-to-order crepes.

High-grade cuts and slow-cooked Black Angus brisket showcase rich smoke-infused tenderness and culinary finesse.
It was incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with so much flavor—completely unexpected! We were both shocked at how perfectly it was cooked, and honestly, I’d go back just for that brisket alone.
