Flying Fish

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.
