Dawes Point / Walsh Bay
About the restaurant
Jounieh is a contemporary approach to the Middle Eastern culinary tradition.
Perfectly positioned on the Walsh Bay harbour foreshore, this waterside venue takes you on a journey through the distinctive flavours and tastes of its famed namesake – the coastal town of Jounieh in Lebanon.

From the pickles and spices of the bustling ‘Souk’, the grandeur of its luxurious oceanfront resorts, bustling nightlife and numerous promenade eateries, Jounieh is an all-encompassing slice of Lebanese culture.

So grab another round of dips and pile up the pita; time moves slowly when you’re eating this well.

Pre-theatre set menu was great value. All plates were generous and absolutely delicious. Lamb was tender and tasty, and the sides and starters also exceptional. A gorgeous location. Highly recommend.

Great food, friendly staff, awesome place to sit outside and watch the world go by with the Harbour Bridge as a back drop.. Only thing to watch out for is the seagulls, but the staff have a plan for those visitors, it's a regular favourite..

Overlooking the Balmoral Beach promenade, the buzzing, bold, and bright bistro space is a mix of booth seating, cane chairs and pops of colour. The ambiance reflects the approachable and casual coastal style of Bathers’ Bistro.
