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.

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.

Staff are friendly & competent, even guessing which dessert we would like. Lovely peaceful setting at Walsh Bay. So easy to lose track of time & run the risk of being late for a performance (several theatres nearby). Would have preferred that the background music be traditional & that the table light not be an electric imitation candle. Have been several times & will be returning. Thank you, Tony!

I’ve not had such beautiful food probably ever. The wine prices are reasonable for a restaurant of this standard. When I next visit Sydney I will definitely be back. ❤️

When I booked I asked them if they would allocate a nice table with a view to celebrate the special occasion which they did, the food was on point, we had the dips, calamari, cauliflower and the lamb, all were fresh, cooked to perfection. I will definitely be back again, and take our friends and family to enjoy this gem of a restaurant. Keep up the amazing food and service.

The 10hour slow cooked lamb leg was to melt in your mouth. The side dishes are just amazing as well. Great view out to the water and the staff are amazing. Do not hesitate to eat here you will regret it.
