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!

    Great quality Middle Eastern food - generous servings! Terrific range of options for vegetarians and dairy free too. Service is attentive and professional. Hard to beat the views of the sparkling water. Highly recommended

    We have dined here several times previously and the food as always was excellent and service outstanding. We were celebrating a special event on the weekend and everything was just how we hoped it would be. We had a few guests with serious food allergies and staff at Jounieh ensured no nuts in all the dishes and gluten free options were available. We appreciated that they took the nut allergy seriously and accommodated accordingly.

    I'm not a huge fan of Lebanese / Middle Eastern cuisine ( lack of diversity more than anything ) but I'd have to say Jounieh is one of the best. Interesting wine list and tasty dips

    Have been here a number of times and it just keeps getting better. The service is impeccable and the food delicious. The $99 set menu is such great value for what you get.

    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.

    The food was great—fresh, flavourful, and nicely presented. But what really stood out was the owner and staff—so helpful, friendly, and happy to accommodate my requests. It made the whole experience extra special. Highly recommend!
