Collins Kitchen at the Grand Hyatt has one of the most extravagant buffets in the city.
The Hyatt’s “Living Grand” buffet, at in-house restaurant Collins Kitchen, is one of the most expensive and extravagant all-you-can-eat options in Melbourne. When the buffet relaunched for Sunday lunches post-COVID, appealing largely to families, it was a sleeper hit. It’s since become so popular that the hotel has added a Friday night buffet to draw in a younger demographic.
Those diners have likely seen it on TikTok, which is partly responsible for the buffet resurgence. Save for the commanding seafood tower of oysters, prawns, crabs and (sometimes) Moreton Bay bugs, this one is all about quiet luxury with sashimi on ice and made-to-order options. And for dessert? A pancake and waffle station and a chocolate fountain, no less.
Buffet aside, Collins Kitchen’s a la carte menu is all about locally sourced, flame-grilled meats, from a signature wagyu tomahawk to slow-cooked American-style brisket.
