Saint Peter

A brilliant service from start to end - all team members played their roles to perfection. Not only was the menu inventive but absolutely delicious. Hubby declared Saint Peter his new favourite restaurant. Keep up the awesome work!

Amazing experience all around. Food was incredibly well prepared and pushed the limits of what I’ve seen done with fish. Service was immaculate, and the seating is comfortable bar chairs where you can watch the chefs plate your dishes. Overall, 5/5 experience and best seafood restaurant in Australia. Definitely plan on coming back next time we’re in Sydney!

Menu changes every day, but generally small dishes are in the 15-30 AUD range and mains are 50-60. We did mostly starters to get a wide variety and enjoyed that for lunch.

Amazing experience at Saint Peter. The wine pairing was exceptional, the dishes were absolutely delicious. The flavours were amazing. The wait staff were wonderful, particularly the Italian lady. It was delightful.
10/10 especially for our last minute booking.

Had a lovely time at St Peters. The amount of creativity + thought that is put into each dish is top notch. I've found a newfound appreciation for how fish could be manipulated head-to-tail to become out of the norm dishes. Will be back to see what the team comes up with next. Keep up the great work!

We had the most wonderful lunch experience at Saint Peter and first and foremost I want to thank the staff for making me feel the love and care they have for this place and making me feel extra special on my birthday.
The lunch tasting menu was the perfect way to enjoy all the signature dishes and understand their passion for anything the ocean has to offer.
The charcuterie was mind-blowing and now I want flathead mortadella everyday of my life!!
The oysters were all so good, Sydney Rock from different areas, we tried them all!
The mackerel was delicious, and the meal ended with a Valrhona chocolate tart topped with caviar, amazing!
Definitely coming back for dinner one day! Or better yet, can you open one in Melbourne? Amazing place!!

Wonderful. A genuine experience well worth the money. The menu is well designed and perfectly executed. The open kitchen / bar feel is perfect for the set menu and creates a great open but intimate atmosphere. Staff are amazing - brilliantly trained, attentive while giving space, chatting and laughing with dinners through the night.

Saint Peter receives glowing reviews for their exceptional service. The staff is widely praised for being friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging. Customers appreciate how the staff takes the time to explain each menu item and provide insights into the construction of the dishes. The concept of having a counter as the table adds to the overall experience, allowing diners to witness the effort and communication of the team as they prepare the food brilliantly. The food itself is described as delicious, unique, and beautifully presented. Dishes such as the 12-day aged tuna, uni toast, dry-aged swordfish, and salt and vinegar King George Whiting receive special mentions. The overall ambiance, attention to detail, and professionalism contribute to making Saint Peter a top favorite for many patrons.

Special thank you our waiters

Fantastic dining experience. Everything we ordered was delicious and fantastic flavours. The dishes were not just pretty to look at but also beautiful in the palate. The intimate counter dining setting was comfortable and the service very friendly. Highly recommended.

Amazing night! Incredible food and service!
My partner and I loved it!
I have wanted to go for so long and am so happy we got to try it!
Great wine list too!

The service was fantastic and being able to watch our dishes being prepared really added to the experience.
Food was delicious and looked too good to eat.
Would definitely go back as the menu changes.

Saint Peter is a seafood haven where Josh Niland and the team showcase an unparalleled mastery of fish. From the moment you enter, the minimalist yet inviting ambiance lets the focus fall entirely on the star of the show—the seafood. Each dish is a testament to precision and innovation, transforming the bounty of the ocean into culinary works of art. Whether it's the pristine freshness of the oysters or the inventive preparation of the daily catch, every bite is a celebration of flavors. The passion for seafood excellence is palpable, and Saint Peter stands as a testament to the team's commitment to elevating the art of fish preparation to new heights.

December was my month to try new Sydney restaurants and I’ve saved the best for last @saintpeterpaddo They call it an Australian fish eatery but it’s so much more than that. A whole fish approach that results in dishes you just won’t find anywhere else. There’s charcuterie, dry aging and funky things with impeccable ingredients - Murray Cod Chorizo 😮 was scrumptious and apparently the Fish Eye Ice Cream is impressive but I didn’t get that far. I did manage to squeeze in some Chips & Seaweed Salt and they’re a serious contender for the ‘best ever’ list. Best of all, it was fun!

I love the long marble counter where every seat has a view of the dishes being plated but we secured the coveted window counter with a view of Oxford Street and what better way to enjoy lunch than watching the Paddo locals go about their very serious business!

Service is exceptional and Josh Niland’s relationship with seafood is exciting. It’s easy to see why he was named Chef of The Year 👏

What a beautiful experience at Saint Peter and innovative food. We had the 7 course menu for dinner. The attention to detail, the knowledge and caring service from the staff was excellent. If you love fish then this is the place for you

This was easily the best seafood meal I have ever had. The techniques used by the chefs blew my mind. Who knew you could make mortadella and chorizo with seafood. My favourite dish of the day had to be the southern calamari with yellowfin tuna nduja, it was like a spicy bolognese with the calamari being the pasta. It was a little pricey being over $600 with the matching wines for the two of us

Absolutely loved the experience. Staff was fantastic, food superb and vibe was perfect. If you like fine dining, you must try to book a seat at this wonderful jewel.

One of the best seafood experiences ⭐ I loved that seafood was really the heart of the plate and was prepared with fire. The delicacy was to taste, see and feel. The only reason for at Saint Peter doesnot have a Michelin Star is that Michelin doesnot operate in Australia yet.The service was sublime and I really love the calm and authenticity which is in the kitchen. As guest you er invited inside the ocean.Thank you for introducing me to the Sea Urchin❣SincerelyFarideh from Copenhagen

Unreal experience last night at Saint Peter! The staff were not only friendly and welcoming but also incredibly knowledgeable. We traveled all the way from Western Australia to experience Saint Peter, I asked many questions as Josh wasn't there, and the staff provided fantastic explanations for each of the fish dishes and how they were constructed. I've been a huge fan of Josh for a long time, with two out of three of his books in my collection. I can't wait to try out some of these recipes at home now! Looking forward to meeting him in person next time, but for now, last night's experience at was one to remember. My partner and I couldn’t fault a single thing, everything was fantastic, and our favorite dish was the salt and vinegar King George Whiting. Till next time, thanks for having us! Jaiden and Bruna 😊

From taste to creativity, staff, professionalism, ambiance and attention to detail, everything about the Saint Peter experience is always thoroughly enjoyable. Sitting at the counter you get to have an experience along side your meal where you are able to get an insight into how they create the incredible flavours that you are about to taste. All of the food is delicious and unique. The 12 day aged tuna was exceptional as well as the uni toast. The staff are friendly, informative and professional. One of my favourite places to eat in Sydney.

Thoroughly enjoyed every part of this dinner. Every course of the tasting menu held its own, flavours were fresh and unique and the staff clearly loved the dishes they were creating. We tried 5 different cocktails and they all complimented the seafood flavours well.

Can’t wait to book a trip back, just stunning.

Edit: Nov 2024 returned and it was just AMAZING still. Loved it.

Love the setting and the experience. Overall this place got a very interesting concept. Chef is very nice and explained each menu to us. Also the 500g dry aged swordfish is amazing.
