What an amazing experience, absolutely delicious food and the service was excellent

This restaurant was a great find! Thanks to The fork! The ambience and service were great as well as the food. Specially the entrees. We had the arancini balls and hummus. Both to dye for. If it was a bit cheaper we will definitelly repeat.

The ambiance was good. Food was delicious. The signature steak is especially good. Liked the sea food linguini as well. Overall, loved the food and the atmosphere. Service was good and staff was friendly.

Came in for a drink and had an amazing server, a young lady with ginger hair. Overall had a positive experience and will definitely come back! Thank you to Bridget.

Food is great!! We ordered the seafood linguine (amazed of the size and seafood portion), lamb rump and the prawn tempura.

Overall is a 9/10. The prawn tempura batter is a bit thick and soaky. The waitress greeted and served us with good manner and very well considered of the order I place in case it doesn't cover under my booking offer.

I have realised they do 50% off on most days via the fork. I think is super worth it with 50% off offer.

Had a lovely cocktail here on Thursday. Staff were super friendly

Really nice food and service. Staff was friendly and attentive. This restaurant is part of the Hyatt Regency hotel. You will enjoy your dinning experience here.

The food here is delicious! Love the tandoori chicken and burrata entree and the beef main! So tender!

Jackalberry is located on the ground floor of the Hyatt Regency on Sussex Street in the Sydney CBD. Set in a heritage building space, it’s nice to see they’ve kept the façade with a nod to Sydney’s historic past.
Whilst the Hyatt already has a few bars, including one of our favourites, Zephr, they have opened this new bar, with street frontage to appeal to bar trotters and those in search of good cocktail or two. We must add that this bar serves up what we currently regard as the best cocktails in Sydney and we’re sure this will become the bar on everyone’s lips in no time. They were even recently awarded Sydney’s best new bar at the Hotel awards.

Jackalberry, named after the native African tree, which is in fitting with its ‘around the world’ theming with influences from across the globe, it’s like an urban jungle where its décor features travel inspiration, from world globes, to shells and safari wallpaper, and plants to give that feel of an indoor oases.

The space is large and feels very chic with a circular booth seating, and bar stools where you can catch a glimpse of the talented French bartender/mixologist Remy carefully crafting some amazing cocktails.  The cocktail menu offers eight drinks with inspirations from around the world such as France, Netherlands, Japan, Greece, Cuba, Mexico and the UK. As a lover of all things Japanese, I began with the drink drawing inspiration from Osaka, Japan. Aptly titled ‘tea time’, this drink is made with Robu Gin, Yuzu puree, black sesame and Earl Grey syrup and lemon juice, it is a smooth and easy to drink cocktail, like enjoying a refreshingly sweet tea.

We’re grateful to Remy for introducing us to two new cocktails, to appear on their Spring menu when it launches. One was their version of a whisky sour made with Bullet Bourbon, lemon, shitake mushroom and topped with rocket. A slightly sour and drink, with a good amount of sweetness wand a hint of mushroom on the back palate, producing a drink with excellent flavour combinations.
We had a Lemon meringue pie cocktail, served in a tall glass, the Frangelico providing the flavour of the pastry based, very cleverly concocted. In addition, the ice cup resting on the glass with the meringue foam added that extra creative flair.
We love our food, so of course we were keen to try a few things on the menu, which showcases 14 dishes from around the world. The food here complements the theming and the cocktails beautifully. It is like a travel itinerary on a plate.
Beginning with a dish influenced by Bern, Switzerland, we try the ‘Tete De Moine’, which is essentially a fancy cheese plate with a beautifully presented fanned out slices of cheese with pickled walnuts, shiraz poached pears and shards of honeycomb, served with grissini. We loved this dish and the interesting intricacy of flavours.
Followed up by some refreshing vegetable rice paper rolls with a coriander and hoi sin chilli dip, hailing from Hanoi in Vietnam and the lightly fried stuffed pumpkin flowers with date, kumara puree and bronze fennel from Marrakesh, Morrocco. These dishes are good little tasting plates to accompany a drink or two.
The sliced butler steak was cooked nicely, served with chimichurri and skinny fries. The meat was seasoned perfectly with a rio grande spice rub and we feel this is a generous and more substantial meal that comes highly recommended. The Persian style lamb koftas, hailing from Tehran, Iran were also nice moist pieces of meat, nicely flavoured, accompanied with a spinach borani yoghurt.
My favourite of the night was their Kati Kati wrap, influenced from Camaroon, Africa. Whilst at first look, you may think it’s just a wrap, but that’s most certainly not the case. It is some amazing chicken that has incredible flavour combination of spices, served inside a flat bread and so tasty, we could have eaten a few of these. We also think this is a great bar snack.

Last night was a discovery of cocktails, cuisines, and countries.⁣⁣⁣⁣

Pro tip:
Ask Remy for some of his off the menu cocktails. We had a Lemon meringue pie, a 6 spirit Old Fashioned and a Crème Brulee cocktail that were all insane! ⁣⁣⁣

Popped in for dinner on a night out, we had the Texan BBQ platter for 2 - it was amazing! Also all the servers were super friendly and helpful.

Held a small meetup here with a group of 10.
Service was spot on and everyone enjoyed the atmosphere.
Music wasn't loud at all so perfect for actually talking and the variety of cocktails was very diverse.
Would definitely come again.

Service was amazing! The lease waitress/manageress lady was really nice. Our table was initially small so she gave us extra space in extra table. We needed charge our phones so she safely had them charged. The foods was delicious as well. We had the burgers! Would recommend

Awesome cocktails at this cool bar. Great design, super drinks and good service. We only got snacks to share but they were good. And we'd be keen to come back for a proper sit down meal!

Must try the steak, value’s on point and cocktails are cheap and yummy. Pavlova is super lovely too. Thank you very much.

Simple food done deliciously 😋
Great cocktails too.

Great atmosphere, delicious food and great service. Will be back again.

Cocktails are a 10/10 - Davide was very lovely & hospitable!
