Flying Fish
80 Pyrmont Street, Pyrmont NSW, Australia
Restaurant
•Flying Fish, like so many other dining destinations in Sydney, boasts a prime view of Sydney Harbour Bridge and city lights in the distance. What makes Flying Fish such an enduringly popular and renowned spot is the mix of spectacular views plus high quality, Chef Hatted cuisine.
With Executive Chef Stephen Seckold at the kitchen’s helm, Flying Fish has garnered a reputation for being one of Sydney’s premier locations for amazing seafood, in a town that definitely knows one or two things about food.Flying Fish is a warm and welcoming space, at least in part as a result of the rustic interior.
All wooden walls and old steel, it’s a nod to the area’s maritime and industrial history. Which is nice, but we just think it looks really good. Large windows let diners savour the postcard-worthy view, both from the restaurant proper, and from Little Fish, the establishment’s stand-alone bar.For those on the hunt for a function venue within Flying Fish’s elegant and rustic walls, there are a number of options to choose from. The venue’s private function spot, the Arcadia Room, is found upstairs on the first floor. A good pick for product launches and private celebrations, it boasts antique timber walls and beams within which groups of up to 40 can enjoy dinner or cocktails.
The Wine Room lends itself to slightly larger celebrations, being popular with event birthdays and weddings. The Wine Room isn’t so much a room as it is a two-level loft surrounded by frosted glass walls, adjoining a stylish terrace. Thirdly, the Flying Fish’s Raw Bar is the dedicated sushi space. Sushi master Kensuke Yada is at the helm, conducting masterclasses, or giving diners a journey through the world of sushi and sashimi.
Flying Fish is found at the very tip of Jones Bay Wharf, at all times drinking in its almost ridiculous view of Sydney’s lights. It’s about a ten minute drive from the centre of Sydney’s CBD, or you could catch a light rail to the Casino stop, with Pyrmont Bay as the closest Ferry stop.

We had the best night at Flying Fish! When I booked I advised that it was my daughter’s birthday that day. Upon arrival we were seated at a table with a beautiful view next to the window and the waitress immediately acknowledged my daughter’s birthday. We chose the pre theatre menu and were not disappointed. The food was delicious and very filling. After dinner we were surprised with a free dessert and a lit candle on top. Such a lovely gesture! My daughter was so happy! Thank you!

Venue was fantastic. Ambience perfect. Service 2nd to none. King fish and barramundi were perfect. My only gripe were the sides. ( I know they are sides but ).... chips and cos lettuce... I honestly expected a little better. But still a great venue with delicious food.

It was a perfect evening.. did the 95$ 3 course. It was filling and thoroughly yummy. One of the dessert ‘Wattlemisu’ was ok and not worth my attention especially next to the Strawberry lemon Myrtle meringue. Otherwise perfect for us. Service was very good. Asked for sliced 🌶️ chilli and it was easily fulfilled and asked for more bread and that was no pro either (no extra charge). The littlest things matters. Looking forward to heading there again. Flying Fish should treat their waitress and waiters as they all were attentive and lovely.

Came here on the 20/07/24 before a concert with a friend. The ambience of this place was very nice and the staff was very pleasant that evening. The female asian waitress was so attentive and pretty, she was perfect (I wish I worked up the courage to ask her for number). The food was very well priced, not too expensive and the portion was worth it. The smoked eel doughnut was a bit of a miss but we really enjoyed the prawn toast and the free sourdough. The sashimi was decent and our mains was well cooked. Overall a good experience with an exceptional waitress and staff. Thanks!
