Recommended Restaurants in Sydney - Desserts

Golden Century Seafood Restaurant is so famous that we have to put it in the top spot. This old school Chinese seafood restaurant is really something else. Almost every table in the restaurant will see a king crab on the table. Visually or gastronomically, these are all amazing. The “lobster served two ways” type of cooking has been a staple for many foodies.

This is a very strategically located restaurant as it sits right across from Bondi Beach. When you relaxed and spent a whole afternoon away on the beach and feeling a wee bit hungry, consider coming here for a break. When the setting sun spills into the restaurant, the light yellow checkered tablecloth looks particular comforting. The little black board menu has a hand writing all over - consider ordering a fresh serving of Queensland lungfish, with all ingredients coming from the local farm. Every bite tastes particularly fresh. If you think seafood isn’t enough for your palette, order a serving of grilled chicken here. It’s another famous dish here.

Nick is cooking up even better seafood dishes at Cockle Bay. Perhaps it’s all owing to how he’s been opening shop here since 1998. So now there’s Nick’s seafood soup, a very creative crab ravioli and all kinds of grilled fish dishes. Other than really amazing food, this is a place where family gatherings happen. The kid’s menu is something all adults want to order. So spend some time and gather your family here. Nick will make sure you’re all well taken care of.

Coogee Pavilion, all newly decorated and renovated, is even more popular than before. Other than old guests coming back, the beautiful, spacious environment after its expansion is also attracting a new batch of guests. Fish here is known for its tenderness. That fresh bite of fish melting in your mouth is really quite amazing. Only the fresh oyster of the day will be served as part of the daily special roundup. As it’s after all an Italian restaurant, pizza here is a must-try.

Garfish’ cuisine philosophy is really simple: only offering the best catch. Of course whether it’s baked, marinated or grilled, they are all amazing and highly popular. Their dishes are also a guarantee of quality. Fish slices are always served in thick cuts, oysters are all round, fresh and full. Don’t forget to try snapper pies here. Miss this and you’ll definitely regret it.

This a very simple and small shop, selling only simple fare - fish and chips, fried calamari, garlic on shrimps, baked scallops, barbeque. Basically nothing out of the ordinary. However their taste and price ranges are definitely memorable enough to be extraordinary, so you’ll always have a steady stream of locals here - even if they all seem to be a little out of shape from all these fried goods. So even though Western approach to cooking seafood is rather crude and simple, you can still enjoy great food. Try it yourself if you don’t believe me.

The world-famous Rockpool has an even more famous chef, Neil Perry. This chef who has won the most top hats in contemporary gourmet history has a strong following in Sydney, after dominating Melbourne’s food scene for years. Rockpool’s steak is already top of Australia, without a doubt, and yet its other seafood dishes are equally fascinating. Squid, yellow fin tuna, fresh lobsters and other fish marinated with secret sauces and slowly grilled on firewood, as well as mussels marinated with saffron...come to Rockpool next time either for steak, or try something different.

All customers visiting Flying Fish all rate its food for amazing flavor, well-rounded service, comfortable and elegant environment. If you check out its ratings, it’s almost all perfect scores all around. The lobster is large and succulent, the oysters fatty and smooth; all other items from appetizers to main dishes to desserts are all hugely popular. In particular, we recommend their French pastry seafood and raw meat, it’s really incredible.

The Sydney fish market is for sure very well known by many. This is the biggest seafood market in the southern hemisphere. From the time it opens in the morning it sees a steady stream of customers. The variety in seafood types in the Sydney fish market, the great prices, the freshness of the taste is really making locals and tourists alike shower this place with praise. Oyster, lobster, salmon, shrimp, scallops, mussels...they are all from bays with the fresh catch from all over Australia. You don’t need to go to Tasmania and you can enjoy their huge, fresh oysters. If you don’t want to eat baked or grilled salmon, go for some sashimi. Here this place is on par with any popular and famous seafood restaurant. Enjoy a great meal by the ocean view while being at the shore. The only thing you need to worry about is seagulls hovering close by and coming at you at any time - or rather, the food in your hand.
