NeurIPS 2026 in Sydney: where to eat near ICC Sydney
NeurIPS, one of the world's largest machine learning conferences, holds its 2026 Sydney edition at ICC Sydney in December. According to the conference organisers, the expo day is Sunday 6 December, tutorials are on Monday 7 December, the main conference runs Tuesday 8 to Thursday 10 December, and workshops and competitions follow on Friday 11 and Saturday 12 December. The exhibit hall is in the Exhibition Centre, Level 4, Halls 5 to 7.
MuMian Dining is in Darling Quarter, next to ICC Sydney and facing Tumbalong Park, about a 5 to 10 minute walk from the Exhibition Centre. If you are visiting Sydney for the conference, here is how we can help.
Lunch between sessions
We serve lunch Monday to Friday from 11:30am to 3pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 12pm to 3:30pm. Walk-ins are welcome when tables are free; for a group, booking ahead on OpenTable saves time in a busy week. Handmade dim sum and Cantonese BBQ are good for sharing when time is short.
Team and sponsor dinners
Dinner starts at 5pm every night. Our private dining room and set banquet menus suit lab dinners, sponsor events and reunions with colleagues from overseas. Tell us your date and group size through the functions form on our home page, or email mumian@taogroup.com.au, and we will reply with menus and availability. December fills quickly, so it is worth asking early.
A taste of Cantonese Sydney
For visitors new to Cantonese food: live lobster and mud crab chosen from our tanks, roast duck from our BBQ, and har gow prawn dumplings made by hand are the dishes our guests come back for.
