The Eight, Chinese restaurant in Haymarket, Australia
The Eight occupies a spacious dining area on level 3 of Market City in Haymarket, featuring modern furnishings and an LED screen wall as a visual focal point. The layout allows diners to move comfortably through the space while taking in the contemporary design and open kitchen views.
The restaurant opened in 2013 as part of the Zilver Group, beginning with traditional Cantonese cuisine. Over time, it incorporated elements from various Chinese cooking traditions to broaden its culinary offerings.
The restaurant draws from eight distinct Chinese cooking schools, presenting dishes that highlight regional specialties and traditional preparation methods. Visitors experience how different culinary regions of China are represented through the menu and cooking techniques.
Lunch is served Monday to Friday from 10:00 to 15:30 and weekends from 9:00 to 15:30, while dinner runs daily from 17:30 to 23:00. The kitchen stops accepting orders at 21:15, so visitors should plan to arrive with time to order and dine before closing.
The name comes from the eight distinct cooking schools that form the foundation of the menu and kitchen philosophy. This concept creates a thoughtful framework for how regional Chinese cuisines are studied and executed.
