The best position in ECQ
Trading since 1987,
The Sydney Cove Oyster Bar is situated on the promenade at
East Circular Quay and, in my opinion, feels casual yet fancy at the same time. I have never suffered a disappointing meal here, the service has always been attentive, the views are great and the vibe is buzzy, yet relaxed.
The Federation building housing Sydney Cove Oyster Bar dates back to 1908
Due to its
perfect position on the water's edge , you can watch the world go by from your table while chilling with a drink and some fresh seafood, oysters, or even a steak. It is my favourite place to stop for lunch on our regular Sunday Funday ferry trips into the Quay.
Tuna Tartare
I remember having a particularly good sesame crusted tuna here and was hoping it was still on the menu. It wasn't. But that's ok because I thoroughly enjoyed the
Tuna Tartare, and the
Seared Tuna with cucumber, edamame and seaweed salad (I love Tuna), plus the
Swordfish Steak, which was tender and juicy (finally, Swordfish that wasn't dry!).
Seared Tuna
Being a restaurant that specialises in
locally sourced seafood, you can rest assured the fish is fresh and the oysters are shucked to order, sourced directly from the farmers.
For once, a juicy Swordfish steak
You can
view the entire menu here and there are always specials to pick from as well. For further information or to book, please visit the
