Introducing Foodies Kyle Bay, a space designed for more than just dining, it’s where celebrations come to life and moments are made to be shared.

Founded by hospitality duo Matt and Jansci, Foodies was built on years of experience and a genuine passion for bringing people together.

From their early days at Sydney’s Burdekin Hotel to creating local favourites like Cup and Cook, their vision has always been clear, create a place where food becomes the centre of connection.

At Foodies, that vision extends beyond the menu.

While their fresh, seasonal dishes showcase the best of locally sourced Australian produce, it’s the experience that truly sets them apart.

The space has been thoughtfully designed to host everything from relaxed dinners to milestone celebrations, with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes every occasion feel special. Their all inclusive menu is also 100 % halal friendly, making it a place more families can come together and enjoy.
