Located on level one of the hotel, Café Mix is Shangri-la Sydney hotel's all-day dining restaurant, with the focus on 'fresh' and 'diverse'. It offers an exquisite selection of international cuisine and mouth-watering desserts. Cafe Mix offers a restaurant buffet experience in which these cuisines sidle up to Chinese and Western selections and dazzling city views from within the Shangri-La Sydney Hotel in The Rocks.

LOCATION
On the first floor of the lavish Shangri-La Sydney Hotel in the very heart of The Rocks.

PROFILED BY DE GROOTS MEDIA
Show me a person who says they don’t like buffet and I’ll show you a liar. It’s not quite how the saying goes, but it does the trick. The fact is, that when it comes to gloriously over-indulging, buffets are extremely effective. And if you are planning to treat yourself, you may as well do it in style. For this reason, among many others, the Shangri-La’s Cafe Mix is a very desirable destination. Having recently received an extensive facelift which transformed its interiors into a picture of breezy sophistication, this spacious restaurant not only offers spectacular views over the city and a wonderful atmosphere, but also the chance to simultaneously feast on four cuisines of the world – Chinese, Indian, Japanese and Western.

Clean, sharp dark brown stations hold a world of tempting options which regularly change to reflect the freshest available produce. The result is a buffet on which sushi rolls sit besides salads and freshly shucked oysters while Indian curries steam away next to Chinese delicacies like stir-fried prawns and Western favourites like roast lamb. And, naturally, there is also a dessert bar complete with homemade gelato and a chocolate fountain. If you can tear yourself away from this liquid temptation, the creme brulee and strawberry mousse cheesecake are not to be missed. And while not a buffet itself, the wine list offers an equally impressive selection and also travels the world – albeit to other regions. However, if you are one of the few people who don’t like buffets, Cafe Mix also offers an a la carte menu. Here you’ll find a selection of healthy lifestyle options like red ruby plum tomato bisque as well as Asian delights like dim sum, tom yum goong and seared snapper fillet with a charmoula crust, baby bok choi, shiitake and ginger broth.

DETAILS
Voted “Best Brasserie / Café 2005” by the Australian Hotels Association (NSW). Café Mix is a novel 190 seat all-day-dining restaurant: a lighter, brighter, interactive dining environment with the focus very much on ‘fresh’. Mixed aromas of freshly cooked cuisine from all corners of the globe are enhanced by the skills of Café Mix’s theatre-chefs working their magic at live cooking stations. The mouth-watering dessert selection and chocolate fountain are impossible to resist!
