About this restaurant

Great for outdoor dining
Good for groups
Great for scenic views

Jounieh, a refined waterfront dining experience nestled on the edge of Walsh Bay, where modern Middle Eastern cuisine meets Sydney’s iconic harbour.

Drawing inspiration from the vibrant Lebanese coastal town it’s named after, Jounieh offers bold, share-style dishes that celebrate the flavours, spices, and traditions of the Middle East—elevated with modern technique and premium Australian produce. From crisp pickles and fragrant dips to slow-cooked meats and fresh seafood, every dish is designed to be savoured.

Set within Sydney’s Walsh Bay Arts Precinct, Jounieh is just a short walk from Roslyn Packer Theatre, Sydney Dance Company, and the city’s cultural landmarks—making it the perfect stop before or after a show, without ever compromising on atmosphere or quality.

Whether you’re planning a long lunch, dinner, or group celebration, our harbourfront location offers an unforgettable backdrop for any occasion. Your waterfront table awaits!

We tried most of the dishes, all very delicious. The chilli and garlic dip was a highlight as was the beetroot salad. We expected more of the lebanese bread as it went with everything but all in all a great night out for our family.

First time at this restaurant. So pleased we picked it as it was lovely looking out to the water, the food was lovely, especially the slow cooked lamb, and the serves were a good size. Customer service was good and reasonablely priced. Will be back.
