Inspired by Rick’s lifelong love of the ocean and the fresh unfussy elegance of his kitchens, Rick Stein at Coogee Beach will offer refined beachside dining that showcases the best Australian regional and local produce across an array of experiences from casual to upmarket.Rick and Sarah are excited to be bringing their flagship restaurant to life in Sydney joining their Mollymook and Port Stephens locations that they opened together in 2009 and 2018 respectively, “Coogee Beach is yet another stunning coastal location for our Australian restaurant portfolio - perched by the sea and full of the laid-back charm we’ve come to love so much here. It’s especially meaningful for me as my wife Sas grew up in Sydney, so opening a restaurant in her hometown makes this venture all the more special for us both.”“There’s an abundance of top-quality seafood in Australia and we’ll be championing local, seasonal produce with the benefit of accessing the biggest fish market in the southern hemisphere. We’ll continue to utilise the relationships we’ve built in our regional locations to source that same produce in Sydney. It's the best of both worlds,” said Stein.The menu will feature an abundance of seafood including Mahi Mahi caught off the coast of Nelson Bay, Stockton Pipis from Port Stephens, line-caught Mackerel from Ulladulla and Nelson Bay Blue Swimmer Crab for Stein’s signature Singapore Chilli Crab. The venue will also offer Rick’s famous fish and chips, prepared in the traditional British style complete with mushy peas and hand-cut chips.Rick Stein at Coogee Beach will become Rick and Sarah Stein’s third Australian restaurant adding to his well-loved locations in Mollymook and Port Stephens, both popular with Sydneysiders, regional travellers and international visitors. Rick and Sarah’s new venture is in collaboration with Australian partners Salter Brothers, who acquired Bannisters Group in 2024. Paul Salter, Managing Director of Salter Brothers commented, "We are very excited to be bringing Rick Stein to Coogee Beach and build on our existing partnership.
