    Grilled platter for 2
    Justie L.

    Yum! On our visit, we happened to be staying the next block over from the Sydney Fish Market--a blessing and a curse. We found ourselves over here for meals on four separate occasions on our six day stay! With their site saying that they opened at 7, we eagerly sprung out of our beds early in the morning and skeedaddled on over to the fish market. We found however, that although most places listed that they opened at 7, they didn't really have their full offerings available until closer to 8; this was certainly true of the Fish Market Cafe. No worries though, it's easy to kill some time by taking a quick lap around to see the fresh catches of the day. We found ourselves back at the FMC a number of times due in part to their sheer number of items. Dishes we had here included the grilled seafood platter, oysters, fish and chips, and some sushi/sashimi bar items. The grilled seafood platter (for two) would've easily been enough to feed our party of four on its own. With a mound of seafood on top of a mound of chips (read: fries), the standouts for me were the HUGE barramundi filet, the in-shell scallops, and the fries--seriously, the fries were excellent and delightfully potatoey while still maintaining their crispness. My mom really liked the little grilled octopus and the sweet chili shrimp. The separate order of fish and chips was fine. Again, the chips were excellent. The fish was pretty good and definitely fresh, but they were a bit heavy handed with the batter for my own personal liking. The sashimi was fresh and delicious, and I absolutely loved the scallop and salmon sushi. However, their super big sushi rolls were only okay. They were seemingly more gimmicky than anything else with tons of rice, and the krab was kind of a bummer when there was obviously so much fresh crab readily available. One thing that I loved about FMC was their variety of dipping sauces. I am a dipping sauce fiend, there's no denying it. They had eight different options, but I only tried three of them because unfortunately, none are included with your order and you have to purchase each separately. After dropping a solid amount of money just for the plates themselves, I wasn't feelin' Mr. Moneybags on dipping sauces. Their tartar sauce was perfectly fine, but by no means amazing. The peri peri sauce was good, but I think my favorite was the sweet chili. It had a great amount of kick to it. Pricing is a bit on the high side, but that's to be expected I suppose from the fish market where everything is presumably super fresh. It's definitely worth a try, but I personally think that some of the other places in the market are probably more worth it if you're in search of super fresh seafood. It's a tiny bit less appetizing when you see everything pre-prepared and sitting under warmers. Make sure you have cash! They don't accept card. There is an ATM right by the register, but this place gets poppin' and you don't wanna be *THAT GUY* that slows down the whole operation.

    Huge!

    Very exciting to visit the fish market at lunch time with all the people and hustle and bustle. The Fish Market Cafe was one of the busier restaurants in the market (all though everywhere was pretty much busy). You order your food over the counter and they give you a number. When your number gets called you collect your food then pay for it. We had the lobster meal for 2 people at $70+. We had half a lobster, baby octopus, calamari, shrimp, substitutes oysters for scallops with chips. The box was filled with chips with the seafood on top. Everything was fresh and it was good. Felt that it was loaded too much with chips to make the meal look more filled up with seafood. Great experience!

    This was an impromptu visit at Sydney's Fish Market. We had a great time at the world's largest fish market when we were in Japan so we thought we'd pay a visit when we found out that Sydney also has a large fish market. And boy, were we glad that we went! Australia was known for their seafood and in here, you got a large variety of seafood, delis, wines and baked goods to choose from. We ended up feasting at Fish market cafe and it was one of the best meals we had in Sydney. Try the sushi donut here. It was delicious and absolutely Instagram worthy! The scallop sushi is also very tasty. Basically everything is already prepped and ready to go. Love this place!

We came on a Sunday at 1:00P and only had to wait 10 minutes to be seated. Most tables are on the covered outdoor patio with just a few others inside the open air setting. We started off with a raw plate to share, followed by individual entrées. + SALMON CEVICHE (A$28): Thin slices of salmon in a bright zesty citrus soy dressing, with dollops of avocado cream and lime aioli. The salmon was so smooth, buttery and super fresh. I rarely eat ceviche since I usually don't care for citrus flavors, but I enjoyed this since the salmon remained the star of the plate. + DAINTREE BARRAMUNDI FILLET GRILLED (A$38): A perfectly sized fillet was delicate, moist and didn't have any bones! The skin was grilled and crisp like a chip. Normally, I'm not a fan of skin on fish, but this was impeccable. A few cauliflower florets in a flavorful chermoula added a bold punch. I also loved the salted barra croquette, a fritter of potato and barramundi, which was fried to a golden brown and light inside. All of this was on top of a fresh mint yogurt which rounded out this very cohesive dish. Others in my group enjoyed the swordfish fillet and the fish of the day, which was a mahi mahi. Our waitress enticed us with two desserts which all of us shared as a sweet ending. + DARK CHOCOLATE PARFAIT (A$18): A rich chocolate pudding layered with Queen Garnet plums and topped with large chocolate shavings. The pudding was creamy and rich while the ripe plums added sweetness with a hint of tartness. + TOASTED COCONUT & MANGO CRUMBLE (A$16): A delightful refreshing coconut sorbet came with juicy cubes of fresh mango on top. Some granola crumbles provided crunch and substance to an otherwise light dessert. I never would have guessed this is both gluten-free and dairy-free. Our server was excellent and took wonderful care of us by checking back and keeping our waters full. We appreciated her recommendations as well. On top of the great service and delicious food, every dish had a lovely presentation and the pricing was reasonable for the quality of each plate.

Cirrus, names after the cloud like apartment that sits above it. We recommend that you all also promptly book in, it is absolutely incredible and certainly deserves all the accolades it has received. Open for lunch and dinner 7 days a week, you can sit inside or alfresco, enjoying views of our breathtaking harbour. A crisp and stylish place with minimal decor, yet it feels classy with its floor to ceiling glass. Chefs coming to you from the the Bentley, Monopole and Yellow restaurants and Chef Brent Savage has put together an array of seafood delights with incredible flavour combinations and the freshest selection of seafood, sustainably caught. Don't fret, if you have a non seafood eater amongst you, there's vegetarian and meat options as well. The waitress informed us that the dishes at Cirrus were designed to be shared. As a party of 6, she recommended 6 entrees, 6 mains and 4 sides. We ordered one less main than her recommendation and we were extremely full. The meats in particular were very generous servings. We also shared 3 desserts. We began with a few oysters, served with a vinaigrette and these were a beautiful start to our dining experience. We shared a number of starters including their famous Ocean trout with smoked beetroot and pepperberry and toast. The smoked beetroot lay atop the ocean trout mixture, almost like a starfish and the texture was simply divine. The small plate of raw Cobia (like a sashimi) with salted apple, turnip and sesame was quite refreshing. We shared two plates of the roasted King Prawns and Koji Butter. These prawns were were beautifully cooked, and a generous lashing of the butter sauce. We also really enjoyed the Fremantle octopus with kohlrabi and green chilli salsa. The octopus was super fresh, tender and nice crisp outer flavour, topped with ribbons of kohlrabi. Given Cirrus is primarily a seafood restaurant, we could go past having a number of fish for our mains. We enjoyed the the Hiramasa kingfish with grilled cucumber, buttermilk and mint. Nice and soft fish with a pleasant sauce. The cone bay barramundi was also lovely and was presented with some beautiful coils of charred onions and watercress. The roasted swordfish was another winner, served with fennel, buckwheat and bottarga. The Grilled black angus rib eye, 500 g was a big serving, and served with kombu butter, a very good comfort food choice. We ordered it medium and it was perfectly cooked to our request. The barbecued lamb neck may not be something you'd expect at a seafood restaurant but for the meat lovers amongst us, it is a brilliant dish. We shared all the sides; chips and aioli, radicchio salad, an absolutely beautiful plate of grilled asparagus with fresh curd and black olive, as well as a lovely serve of zucchini with hazelnut, yoghurt and turmeric. As for the drinks, Sommelier Nick Hildebrandt has also organised a wide selection of wines, 500 from around the world where you can get advice on the best to pair with your food selection. We chose a bottle of Riesling, which was a lovely pairing. All of this amongst 6 diners and including 3 bottles of wine and bread came to $130 each, which is pretty reasonable given the size of the servings and amount of food. If you'd prefer, the tasting menu is available for $110 each for the whole table, though we preferred to order so we could try a greater range of options. We absolutely loved dining at Cirrus and can't recommend it enough!

Compared to United States prices, I find them actually quite reasonable for very high quality steaks. The restaurant is nicely decorated; service was great. It is located in the Rock district. The oysters were good but practically all oysters in Australia are good so nothing special here; however, the stars of the show were the steaks. They offered a cut of steak called Platinum Eye of the Rump which I've not had before in US so gave that a try. It's supposed to be Wagyu beef and did not disappoint. At $79 Australian dollars, that translated to about $52 US dollars and I would say you it was well worth it. The steak was cooked perfectly medium rare and was super tender and beefy. The ribeye was a larger cut and more expensive at $110 Australian dollars or around $73 US dollars. We enjoyed the ribeye as well, but the eye of the rump stood out more. The steaks come with a choice of steak cut fries or salad so we ordered one of each. Both sides were exceptional as well. I ate at another steak restaurant in Australia where the sides were "meh" but I found these well made. Overall, I highly recommend this steak restaurant.

Inside has a more formal ambiance we appreciated, but outside - assuming no cruise ship in the way - is probably the way to go for views, as we requested an inside top floor table with a view and didn't get much of one; turns out not many tables inside with a view. Service was mostly good but oddly slow in a few spots, the wine list was on iPad, and our pomme puree (mashed potatoes) came quite late. Steak was very good. MB7+ tomahawk is a terrific presentation, perfectly cooked to your specification, and described in detail. If you want the very highest quality (MB9) unfortunately thay was not on the menu when we visited, but it was surprisingly difficult find higher than MB7 on the regular menu of any of their competitors so I digress... (keyword: regular) Rest of the food was excellent. Little gem salad and chips are included with your tomahawk, the pomme puree was deliciously creamy if you like creamy mashed potatoes, broccolini hit the spot. And the scallops, while modest in appearance, won high praise. As someone who normally has a hard time going out for steak, given I can almost always make a better one at home, I do have to say that for a special occasion, 6HEAD was on the mark.
