Sydney has welcomed its latest culinary and cultural landmark—the newly revitalised Hay St Market at Paddy’s Markets precinct, located in Haymarket near the city’s bustling CBD. Following a multimillion-dollar investment, this innovative dining and shopping destination features 48 specialty traders offering a diverse array of cuisines from 25 different cultures under one vibrant roof.

Spearheaded by the renowned Doltone Hospitality Group, the Hay St Market at Paddy’s is Sydney’s first fully licenced market, promising an engaging mix of day-to-night experiences seven days a week. This ambitious project aligns seamlessly with the City of Sydney’s strategic vision to rejuvenate urban spaces, promote multiculturalism, and support local economic growth, as outlined on the official city government website (cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au).

Joseph Murray, group CEO and managing director of Doltone Hospitality Group, expressed pride in bringing a world-class experience to the heart of Sydney. “We’ve left no stone unturned in creating Hay St Market at Paddy’s—a vibrant and affordable destination that captures Sydney’s unique cultural identity,” Murray said. “Inspired by iconic markets around the globe, this project embodies Sydney’s passion for food, drink, and community.”

Spanning over 3,000 square metres within Paddy’s Markets—a heritage-rich site managed under NSW Government’s guidelines for iconic market precincts (nsw.gov.au)—Hay St Market delivers a diverse gastronomic journey. Notable culinary highlights include celebrity chef Luke Nguyen’s Vietnamese eatery Pho Chu Lap, celebrated Indigenous chef Mark Olive’s Little Midden, and former Rockpool head butcher Tim Casey’s meat-centric Love Me Tender. The eclectic mix continues with Nico’s Cypriot Chargrill, Taco Nixtamal, Burger Box, Mika’s Deli, El Mercado Spanish Deli, and fresh seafood from The Fish Co, featuring live filleting demonstrations.

Complementing the food stalls, two unique beverage venues enhance the market experience. Cans & Crates offers an international selection of over 180 canned beverages, while Traders Bar serves regional wines, craft beers, and cocktails inspired by Sydney’s vibrant nightlife scene.

Beyond dining, the market supports local artisans and sustainability initiatives, reflecting the NSW Government’s priorities in encouraging environmentally responsible urban development (planning.nsw.gov.au). Visitors can browse Flowers by Agnes Harrington for freshly arranged blooms, explore The Goods for curated artisanal homewares, books, and distinctive crockery, or experience sustainability innovation firsthand at Urban Farm by Greenspace, a retailer dedicated to fresh produce and eco-friendly products.

As Sydney emerges from the impacts of recent global events, Hay St Market at Paddy’s stands as a powerful symbol of renewal and cultural pride. The precinct’s opening supports local employment, boosts tourism, and reinvigorates Haymarket as a prime cultural destination. According to Destination NSW (destinationnsw.com.au), revitalising urban precincts is critical to boosting visitor appeal, economic activity, and community engagement—goals at the heart of this transformative development.

With diverse cuisines, distinctive traders, and community-focused values, Hay St Market at Paddy’s provides Sydneysiders and tourists alike with an immersive, memorable experience that honours Sydney’s rich multicultural heritage and dynamic culinary scene.
