About the restaurant
Nestled on the stunning Walsh Bay harbour foreshore, Jounieh offers a contemporary approach to Middle Eastern cuisine, inspired by the rich flavours and traditions of its namesake – the coastal town of Jounieh, Lebanon.

From the bold spices and pickles of the bustling souks to the waterfront and lively promenade, Jounieh embodies the vibrant essence of Lebanese culture. Our menu pays homage to this heritage, blending traditional flavours with modern techniques and the finest Australian produce to create a truly refined dining experience.

Perfectly positioned in Sydney’s cultural heart, near renowned performance venues, we provide a relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere with breathtaking harbour views. Whether you’re savouring a long, leisurely meal or enjoying an intimate dinner, our indoor and outdoor seating options offer the perfect setting for every occasion.

Jounieh invites you to indulge in a memorable dining experience where time slows down and every bite tells a story.
