About Jimmy’s Kitchen (Bay Nine Sydney)

Tucked behind 6 Head in a heritage sandstone warehouse, Jimmy’s Kitchen trades Circular Quay’s promenade bustle for an intimate dining room shaped by family recipes. Diners slip away from the waterfront crowds for warm pita dipped in taramasalata, tender charred octopus with lemon, and slow-cooked lamb that falls apart on the fork. What anchors the room is genuine philoxenia—the floor crew runs an observant, easygoing service across just twenty-eight seats, keeping conversation effortless away from street noise. Settle into a corner table with a botanical Skinos Sour and warm custard bougatsa.

  • Heritage Sandstone Retreat: A secluded 28-seat sandstone interior behind Bay Nine that replaces harbor bustle with low ambient noise and easy conversation.
  • Generational Greek Plates: Family-rooted Greek classics centered on charred octopus, house-made taramasalata, and slow-cooked lamb.
  • Unhurried Hospitality: Accommodating, intuitive floor service that handles scheduling tweaks smoothly and sets an unhurried pace for special occasions.

  • A Transportive Taste of Greece

    Built as a personal family tribute and centered on time-honored recipes, every plate delivers the unpretentious, sunny warmth of an Aegean getaway.

    We came here for dinner and somehow ended up on a mini holiday to Greece… without paying for flights, so already a win.

  • Intimacy Tailored for Easy Conversation

    An intimate layout of around 28 diners and a tranquil indoor acoustic without blaring music makes easy, effortless dinner conversation the focal point.

    Small inside - maybe 28 diners at maximum - but it is beautifully decorated and no loud music so conversation was easy.

    The food was delicious, with the stand out dishes being their~ Pastitsio - baked pasta with tomato, beef meatballs & mizithra and Saganaki halloumi with honey, oregano, lemon & sesame seeds.

  • Grilled Octopus

    First things first—the grilled octopus. Non-negotiable. If you don’t order it, you’ve made a mistake and we can’t help you. Perfect char, super tender, and that lemony kick just ties it all together.

  • Fries with Oregano and Feta

    fries with oregano and feta which honestly should come with a warning because they disappear in seconds.

    the included glass of wine was delicious Greek wine.

  • House Cocktails

    Their cocktail game is also seriously impressive. Great unique cocktails you won't find elsewhere, and the bartenders know their stuff.

Practical dining advice to help you navigate location, reservations, and ordering—book ahead to secure your table.

  • Check Socials to Find the Hidden Entrance

    Hidden behind 6 Head Restaurant within the Campbell's Stores precinct, the venue can be tricky to spot from the waterfront path. Consult the venue's social media story highlights for a quick video guide to locate the entrance.

  • Reserve in Advance for Limited Seating

    With an intimate indoor dining room seating around 28 guests max and no outdoor promenade tables, space is strictly limited. Reserve your table well in advance to guarantee your booking.

  • Plan for Generous Communal Portions

    Portions are notably generous and designed for communal passing. Balance rich centerpieces like the lamb kleftiko or souvlaki with lighter share plates such as the grilled octopus and taramasalata to avoid over-ordering.
