MuMian · the kapok blossom

Cantonese cooking, set beside the harbour

The red kapok flower is the city flower of Guangzhou, home of Cantonese cuisine. MuMian brings that kitchen to Darling Quarter: seafood chosen live from our tanks, roast meats from the BBQ, and dim sum made by hand.

Since December 2022 we have served Sydney from a dining room facing Tumbalong Park, with a window bar, a private dining room and an alfresco terrace.

Truffle season at MuMian

Twice a year, when truffles are at their best, we add a short seasonal menu of truffle dishes. Seared scallops with snow peas in a glossy truffle sauce lead it this season. It is only here while the season lasts, so ask your waiter what is on today.
